French Restaurants in Bellingham, WA

“This was a very special occasion: at long last, I was treating foodie friends who have cooked "gourmet" for me for years. Estelle did me proud: Quiet booth in a corner, attentive smiling service, and ooh la la the food! The fare is truly seasonal, its textures and flavors exquisite, right down to the fried carrot tops! Even when a dozen shrill-voiced young ladies in high spirits arrived and stole our server, the noise level remained reasonable and another server made sure we weren't neglected. When Estelle was new, there was too much duck on the menu for my taste, but now the selections are balanced among fish, beef, and vegetarian. I live a block away, so as high-end as Estelle is, I'm going to indulge more often because E is worth every dollar.“
