A mainstay in the Pike Place Market for more than thirty years, Maximilien is a romantic and charming French restaurant with spectacular patio views. Owner-operated since 1997, Maximilien boasts the old-world charm of any romantic hideaway in Paris (with a Northwest twist). From inside or on the patio, enjoy a panoramic view that takes in Puget Sound, Elliott Bay, West Seattle and the Olympic Mountains. Antique mirrors cover most of the walls to make this romantic view sublime from any seat in the house. The chefs at Maximilien cook using local ingredients and French techniques. The result? A delectable, seasonally-changing menu highlighted by such signatures as the wonderful "Duck Confit."
