A new restaurant has taken over the small spot on 15th Ave NW that used to be Rizzo’s French Dip.

Ballard Bistro opened last week at 7334 15th Avenue NW. The new bistro features a short menu which includes French Dip sandwiches (which the new owner tells us is better than before), pancake sandwiches (yes, a sandwich between two pancakes), BBQ pork bum and curry chicken with rice. Ballard Bistro is open six days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., they’re closed on Sunday. (Thanks Leanne for the tip!)
