  one of the best chefs in seattle - no one but no one beats his sauces!

  The newly redone interior is now quite modern, much better. The food remains wonderful and they offer both a tasting menu as well as ala carte options

  I’ve actually never eaten in the restaurant, but the little bar is topnotch and the perfect place to meet for a blind date, not to mention the tasty appetizers available.

  Easily one of the mest unique, some say top 10 restaurants in Seattle. Great, nice couple that runs it. An easy, often overlooked choice for an intimate special occassion.

  Absolute joy in food. Their dedication to locally sourced, super-fresh food and considerate, creative preparation makes it a jem for memorable evenings. The bar next door is sparse and luxe and feels like it should be in a Barcelona or San Francisco. Delight!

  A little disappointed with the snoot factor last time at Sambar, some new faces have replaced the old, more friendly help. Could have just been an off night, hopefully not a trend. Let’s not forget this is Ballard, people, not some shallow Hollywood hot spot.

  I’d give Le Gourmand 6 stars if I could. I went there last year for my brother’s birthday, and was absolutely blown away by the food. Bruce is a genius in the kitchen.

  Matt - I loved the review of Le Gourmand on your blog! Pictures even!

  I am sooooo hungry right now. ;-)

  Thanks!

  An excellent restaurant (and good bar, too)
  Le Gourmand has a new website, according to Bruce Naftaly, the owner/chef of the restaurant.
  legourmandrestaurant.com
  doesn’t seem to be up yet - just a place holder page - but he says it will have menus and wine lists from both Le Gourmand and Sambar.

  Hands down my favorite restaurant in town.
  Amazing food, nice atmosphere, very knowledgeable staff, friendly and no attitude. Expensive but worth every penny.

  Wish I could afford to go more than once a year or two.
