L’Experience Paris – Bellevue

We stayed at the AC Hotel Seattle Bellevue during our visit to the United States. This morning, while walking the dog in pouring rain, we discovered a charming French restaurant. The high ceilings, unique lighting, and glass cabinets filled with fresh croissants captivated us. We ordered espresso coffee, double-baked almond croissant, and almond banana croissants. Seated in a soft cushions seating spot , surrounded by delightful decor, we enjoyed the delicious coffee and I appreciate the flaky crust on the almond, along with its perfect sweetness. The ambiance, soothing French music, and friendly staff made it a memorable experience. We look forward to returning for lunch and dinner next time.

Better croissant I had in my life!

This is the type of place that you think: I need to come here more often!!!

All sweet have the right amount of sweetness: not very sweet, just the enough.

Croissants are awesome.
Pan de chocolate is perfect.

Next time we want to have a full meal and try the savory dishes.

Start a day with a warm croissant 🥐
Story time, when I woke up this morning after a long and fun night, all I wanted a nice, warm and fluffy 🥐 with a classic large macchiato. I’m “telling you right now” 😉😁 L’Experience Paris did it for me. This place exactly gives you a full Paris experience with all the fresh made sweet and savory tart and croissant.
Amazing place, staff are so friendly. My favorite one is Vera. She is so kind and patient and have answer for all of your questions and curiosity, enthusiastic 🤩
I love the atmosphere and everything about this place.

The pastries were really good, especially the almond croissant and ham and cheese croissant. The service could be better if they would actually greet the customers and acknowledge them instead of just looking at them and not saying anything. Also, if you are seeing customers buying several (not cheap) pastries, why do you need to ask if they need a bag…you should just know to pack it in the paper bag for them!

The place has a cute atmosphere with its wine bottles along the walls. The lunch items (non baked goods) are simple but well made. The service is friendly though quite slow. Not a biggy if you have the time but definitely prepare for that.
The baked goods are all excellent really. The only minus point there is the price point but what isn’t expensive these days.
