Salad of local tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, lovage leaves and brown bread croutons tossed with red wine vinaigrette, topped with smoky grilled eggplant purée
Last week, chef de cuisine Dave Cooper introduced 3 new summer dishes to the menu at Le Pichet. Hope you will enjoy these photos.
Crispy chickpea falafel served on a salad of watermelon, curly endive, feta cheese and lime vinaigrette, topped with our house-made harissa
Our famous WA State natural free range roasted chicken for 2, with a Basque-style sweet pepper ragout
Our seasonal coupe with nectarine sorbet, crunchy meringue, rose syrup and summer berries.

Our special du jour yesterday at Café Presse was the Croque Provençal. Our version, which is meat free, features the same bread we use for our Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame (made by our friends at Grand Central Bakery) along with cave-aged Comté cheese, béchamel sauce, basil pistou and sliced tomatoes. Yummy!
But why bother showing you if it was yesterday’s special and you can’t order it today? Because it just might end up on our new Summer menu starting on July 12th, 2018
