Even if we rarely set foot in them, there are some restaurants we love just for being there. I was introduced to the Virginia Inn
about 15 years ago, when my search for fellow French speakers led me to
the restaurant's Monday French night (sadly, now defunct), a weekly
gathering of the city's lonely Francophiles. I found it again years
later in the summer, on a sunny day, when its sidewalk patio beckoned
with an afternoon drink and a perfect lazy perch for people watching.

In its storied 20-year history, Madison Valley restaurant Rover's has welcomed the rich, the famous and the beautiful -- but not once the bovine. The acclaimed French bistro serves some of the most flavorful fare in Seattle (to the likes of Henry Kissinger, Oliver Stone, Hillary Clinton, Peter Gabriel, Julia Child and Geena Davis), but it has never put a steak on its menu -- until now.

Bastille Day, according to Entre Nous chef/owner Stephane Ohayon, is about more than French pride and independence. The native of Nice says the real reason his countrymen celebrate July 14 is because they have another day off from work (as if they didn’t have enough already with their 35-hour work week).
