Located in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Bateau is a beef-centric, French inspired restaurant with fresh, local ingredients and bold flavors. Bateau has an extensive wine selection including local and imported wines.

This season, we're thrilled to highlight all of the things we love most about Bateau: whole animal butchery, fermentation, foraged & seasonal ingredients, thoughtful service, and the elements of time that allow us to explore an abundance of flavors in our steaks and beyond. You'll have the chance to experience an exquisite Chef's Tasting Menu, a la carte favorites, and an array of steaks on your next visit.

    Last minute reservation at a restaurant I did not know much about, so relied on the ratings and reviews here and was not disappointed. Great concept, well executed and thorough explanation of the menu. The steak tartar was delicious as well as the croquettes…and that sauce! Wow! Kept it to dip the meat in (as the server suggested). The beef was cooked perfectly and delicious! Super tasty mushrooms!
