Best Baguette in Seattle?
Where can one get the best baguette in Seattle?
Last year, I shared with you my two favorite places (Bakery Nouveau and Columbia City bakery) to buy a crunchy and tasty baguette : Read more here: MonPetitSeattle.com/Best baguette in Seattle
Since then, there has been at least a new one to consider and you can buy it at… Costco. Yes, I am not kidding. For a few months, they have offered baguettes baked onsite at the Kirkland and Issaquah stores. This is a delicious baguette: crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, all for only $2.50.
But I would like to hear, what is your favorite baguette?
Mistral Kitchen is always a good idea
It is always a pleasure to be at MistralKitchen even if the menu does not really change. For lunch or dinner, it is always a good idea. You can also choose to sit at the bar, for a glass of “Champagne du moment” or a great cocktail, and some small plates. They also have sidewalk tables with a nice view of the Space Needle.
Hamachi crudo, Italian charcuterie plate, and all the desserts are my favorites but Foie Gras Torchon, Seared Foie Gras, Manila Clams, Cheeses, Robuchon Potatoes, and Chicken are always delicious. For lunch, they serve a large and delicious wood-fired pizza (Tomato, Prosciutto di San Daniele and Arugula) and a fantastic salad with buratta.
