A la Bonne Franquette

Critic rating: Star rating

This charming, unpretentious bistro atop Mount Baker ridge fits squarely into the neighborhood restaurant niche. Seating is a mix of kitchen counter, bar and closely spaced tables, several of which afford a glimpse of the Seattle skyline across Rainier Valley. The menu is short, the cooking simple but skillful, much of it sparked with Sudanese-born chef-owner Hamed Elnazir's favorite spices: cardamom, ginger and coriander.
