Restaurant Details
This intimate little household restaurant has been operating for almost 30 years, quietly serving an upstanding brunch on weekends and French bistro cuisine on the deck at night.
Karen and the staff are committed to ensuring that you have a fabulous dining experience. It just feels good to be there - the atmosphere, the level of happy conversation, the outstanding food and outstanding drinks - every sip and every bite is a celebration.

We celebrated our 27th anniversary here on 1/17/08, coincidentally the restaurant has been in business 27 years as well! Both of us were very impressed with not only the quality and quantity of the fare, but also the perfect timing of when each course was brought to the table. We both started off with onion soup,which was excellant. The seafood salad was equally impressive. I had the Monkfish, which was lightly braised and very tender. My wife enjoyed a very nice filet, also perfectly cooked as ordered. After splitting dessert, we could not have eaten another bite.
We certainly will not wait a whole year to return, even though we live north of Everett. Definetly worth the trip.

What a great find, tucked away in Madison Park! The ambiance is like going to a good friends house for an awesome dinner. The food is solid, well prepared bistro fare, and the service is warm and friendly. The wine list is extensive and priced well, with some great values to be had. If you are looking for a French bistro experience complete with crispy Frites, Cassoulet, and other classics, then check out Madison Park Cafe. Just be sure to leave room for one of their incredible desserts!

Where to begin?? Is it the food, is it the service or is it the ambiance?? Everything comes together beautifully at the Cafe. Karen and her staff pay close attention to detail and your evening will be filled with exquisitively prepared food, gracious service and a warm and inviting atmosphere. I almost hesitate to offer such a glowing review since it has been one of my favorite well kept secrets in Seattle.

Whether I am at Madison Park Cafe as a couple or larger group I am always pleased with attention to careful food preparation and to mindfulness afforded by the staff and small size of the restaurant. I am reminded of a petite French restaurant--right here in Seattle.

This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The menu offers a variety of well prepared French classics and nouvelle dishes, the wine list offers a good selection of French wines at very reasonable prices, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the owner and staff are pleasant and helpful. And on warm nights, you can sit outside under the trees. We always enjoy our visits to the Madison Park Cafe!

The Madison Park cafe is, I kid you not, perfect for every occasion! I have been there for both brunch and diner, sat inside and outside, and I have also used them for caterings. There is always amazing food, wine, ambiance, and the service is impecable. Be sure to ask if Karen Binder the owner is there, you can always count on her for a fun story, or just a smiling face making sure you are enjoying yourself!
