      Out with my brothers, I had the seasonal halibut fish and drink special. That was some delicious fresh fish! I don't remember exactly what my brothers had, but the tastes were great too. I enjoyed my light fruity drink.

      The vibe was chill, and I liked the high chair seating. The lighting seemed a bit dim but made for a closer setting. It's a nice location in Ballard and a pleasant walk in the area. Seems like a great place to hang with friends for drinks or anything

      Bastille offers French cuisine and traditional French cocktails at their best in a surprisingly inviting atmosphere with good service.

      The Croque Madame here is my favorite in the city. The Croque is served on a hominy bread topped with smoked, medium sliced ham, a sunnyside up egg, Comte cheese and a Morney sauce that is to die for.

      My personal second runner up here is the Poulet Roti, which is by far most people's favorite dish. They debone a chicken and keep its form in tact while retaining natural juices and developing an amazing flavor with simple seasonings. It is understated and sublime; some of the best chicken I've ever had.

      This dinner, we sat at the bar at the far end near the little TV that variously plays Julia Child episodes and old French movies (by far our favorite place to sit) and ordered a Croque Madame to share for nibbles on a roaming date night. As we took turns taking small bites of the decadent dish, we watched an episode of Julia Child making French style omelettes and another of her cooking salmon with Jacque Pepin (closed captioning was on so we could read their conversation). The dishes Julia and Jacque made looked circa 1970's - probably because it was actually made in the 60's or 70's. It's super fun to eat and watch old shows here as a couple; good food, good company and it spurs fun conversation.

      Cocktails get changed up from time to time but we are never disappointed. I always try their special.

      Service is always polite and timely.

      The ambiance is inviting and upscale. We can and do hang out here for hours and the wonderful wait staff doesn't rush us one bit.

      I cannot emphasize enough that this restaurant offers the best French cuisine, without the clichéd French attitude, located in the city, right in the heart of Old Ballard.

      This place has de-licious locally sourced food. Spend a night here and enjoy!
      We had: buhn mi, lamb burger, fries with aoli, scallop ceviche and bourbon cocktails that were on special.
      WOW, the lamb burger was divine and the scallop ceviche was absolutely lovely and light. I'd go back and have those again in a heart beat.
      The service was great, the server let us know all of the specials and her suggestions. Great atmosphere. Will be back when visiting Seattle.

      We dropped in here on a random Friday evening to meet some friends who we hadn't seen in a long time. We were in the back of the restaurant, Affectionately and appropriately named the back bar, and ultimately had a very nice time.

      The front of the restaurant is beautiful, lively and has great looking areas to sit and be merry. Back bar ended up being quite the cool little location as well. The lighting is a bit darker to create a pretty intimate experience. Everything is dark wood, and there is a giant chandelier sitting right in front of the bar. It's quite the centerpiece!

      They have a full menu if desired as well as tons of different options for libations. We ended up sharing a small cheese plate with some Crunchy bread and everyone had a beverage of their choice. It was not overly busy as we got there fairly early and as such the service was pretty quick. The lady who took care of us did a nice job of making sure everybody and had drinks when they wanted and had the opportunity to order additional food if need be.

      It was a pretty standard gloomy Seattle day so we didn't end up going outside, however the porch area that they had was nice and seemed like it would accommodate quite a few folks if the weather was permitting!

      One of the main draws to this place was the fact that they don't mind kiddos being present. A number of the other bars in the area required everyone to be over 21, so it was nice to be able to bring infants in and have a drink with friends here.

      Overall, this is a very cool spot, with a couple of different areas for hanging out, eating and drinking. If we lived in the area, I imagine this is a spot that we would probably frequent. As such, it's well worth checking out!

      This place is so aesthetically pleasing! I wouldn't mind eating dinner here alone.

      Was here last Friday grabbing dinner with a friend. I showed up with out a reservation and was quickly seated :) which is a surprised as this place was busy and a lot of people were coming in after me. While I waited for my friend I ordered a drink and the staff helping me was very nice and always seem to be around when I had a question. Which is very impressive and creepy LOL. When my friend finally showed up 30 min later we opted for wagyu beef tartare and the moules frites. Everything was really delicious! I'm bummed I didn't come in on an empty stomach as there was a few things I'd love to try so I will definitely have to come back. I really enjoy the atmosphere and service here. Everyone was so friendly!

      My first time dining at Bastille Cafe & Bar in the Ballard area was for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW). There were three and we sat in the bar, under what feels like sitting under the Eiffel Tower. In the bar you can order happy hour along with the regular dinner/SRW menu.

      The food was delicious and the bar staff was extremely attentive and friendly; just the right amount of checking on us without interrupting.

      I tried the clams (and I'm not a huge clam fan) and they were delicious!! I plan on returning just for them!

      My friends and I are definitely looking forward to returning.

      Bastille is super yummy. To be honest, I have only ordered the Croque Madam, and it's so delicious I've ordered it multiple times! The baguette is a great appetizer, and the open faced CM is delicious.

      We came here tonight around 11:15pm and headed straight for the back bar. It's a super cozy, yet classy spot. Our waitress was very attentive, and the drinks were tasty! The late night food looked incredible. We missed last call for food, but I'll definitely be back for falafel/French fries!

      Stopped in here for a quick dinner before heading to the tractor tavern for a concert. It was booked in the front area but they said there was open seating in the back bar. I always love the back bar. It feels a bit like you're in France.

      When I come here I typically like to get a Kir Royale but I decided to try one of their egg white drinks and it was delicious. I also of course had to get some fruits. Also delicious!

      I really wanted to get moules frites but I was shocked to see it was $30. Decided to get the brussels sprouts with chicory. It was one of the most disappointing things I've ever ordered. Nothing alluded to the fact that it was a salad--a cold salad to say the least. Also I could only find A couple shavings of brussels sprouts. Definitely not what I expected. For some reason I thought it would be sautéed and warm and delicious. Not a good choice. In the future I would definitely get something different. I had thought about getting the croque madame. I would come back but I hope that they work on describing the menu better.

      I had inquired about the Jambon de Bayonne... turns out it's basically just Jambon (ham). I got excited and thought it would be something a little more special. Maybe it is but it just didn't sound that exciting when she said it was basically ham.

      The smoked salmon omelette was overwhelmed with smokey flavor and cheese. It was altogether too powerful. The potatoes were fairly spiced.

      Really, the star was the falafel. However, it wasn't mixed or well incorporated in the dish.

      Altogether, a bit pricey for an average experience.

      I first heard about this place as a recommendation from the hotel clerk- and I wanted to pass it on! Service was really great. everyone was so friendly, checked on us and were very receptive. The ambience set a really nice mood but the restaurant was not too fancy or too casual (parties of all kinds, just friend dinners, birthday dinners etc). The food was really fine quality food. It took a bit of a wait for the food but it was worth the wait. All the dishes were so flavorful and the ingredients so fresh. I had the King Salmon, the special for the day, I asked for it to be cooked well done. The fish was very fresh and tender, with plenty of sauce in the dish for redipping. The onions and snow peas were a great part of the dish as well. The lamb burger and steak both came with fries which were served very hot and fresh - not too salty and my personal favorite consistency of crunchy but soft on the inside! The steak was amazing!!! I highly recommend - it is on the pricey side but so worth it. The lamb burger was not my personal favorite but it had great flavors and add ons !
      I would definitely recommend this place as a Ballard favorite!
