I've tried a wide range of French restaurants in Seattle and this is one of my favorites (the others are Mistral and Le Pichet). The staff always have great recommendations for wine. If you're going for red, go for the hanger steak with it.

Voila! on Madison is one of those restaurants everyone seems to love. For good reason too- the french food is amazing. No matter what you order, you'll be delighted with the results. The menu is small but each entrée is given so many tasty details that your palate will surely be satisfied. For a small restaurant, they have a pretty big staff and they're always very attentive, personable, and one server even spoke in French! Great for a couple looking to treat themselves on a weekend evening. :-)

Great food. Small, European/cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

We stopped in for a glass of wine and a cheese plate. The House Cotes du Rhone was very drinkable and went pretty well with the cheeses on the plate, which were varied and quite delicious. Presentation was slightly lacking, some more color on the cheese board would have helped, or a different plate (too much yellow and beige). But, the service was so attentive and people so nice that we decided to go back a few hours later for dessert. Creme brulee and Tarte Tatin (apple tart). Both were yum and they helped us choose nice wines to go with each.

See my previous post. This little place is a touch of France: the right feel and charm, and great food. The prices are reasonable, and the carafes of wine are very good and a way to economize.

It's been years since I wanted to go to a French bistro but we always try the new neighborhood restaurants. We'll be back becasue we loved Voila. Although the restaurant was packed when we arrived for an 8:30 dinner we were seated within 20 minutes. The coq au vin was traditional and delicious, wine recomendations excellent and creme brulee smooth and sweet. Great service and atmosphere. I love this size of place - 15 or so tables. This space has been a revolving door for businesses. I hope this one will stay around.
