About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Innovative
Good for groups

Roux offers French-Creole inspired cuisine in the city of Seattle, Washington. Brunch is available on weekends, with dinner on every day of the week. Bold flavors of New Orleans work well next to quality ingredients from local Seattle farms. Attention to detail and presentation found in French cuisine make for a unique and delicious experience. Some of the items on the dinner menu at Roux include grilled local corn, warm yeast rolls, ham-brined pork chop, shrimp and grits, twice cooked buttermilk fried chicken and jambalaya. For dessert, the chocolate mousse or the beignets dusted with powdered sugar will please any sweet tooth. Roux also offers a number of specialty cocktails, including the New Orleans-style hurricane.

This is my second time here and I ordered the Ham Benedict. It was good, but the Server said that the Chef tends to cook on the medium side for the eggs so we didn't need to specify.....well not this day.....it was pretty runny but I never send eggs back as they ALWAYS start over and it means that you don't get to eat with your friends. Everything else was fine, we had a good time.

Fried chicken was great. My memories of shrimp and grits Cajun and fried gizzards differ from the versions here. Not a bad thing, but these were sweeter in every case. Service by Ashley was excellent

Very underwhelming, "southern/orleans" food. The greens in particular were stunningly bad - sugar-huh???? Overly reliant on the stalwart pig for any flavor - which is just lazy.

I'd been to Roux once before and enjoyed their fried chicken but it was a bit too noisy that night to enjoy a conversation with my date. I went again on a Monday and it was much quieter so was able to catch up with a long lost friend. We ended up staying a couple of hours and really enjoyed the food as well the lovely white blend they offered that evening by the glass. I'll definitely be back but likely on a Monday or Tuesday night when the ambiance fits me better.

We sat at the Bar and our Service was excellent! We had the Shrimp and Grits and it was fantastic, perfectly cooked shrimp and a rich spicy sauce. We also had the Chilaquiles and they were a little soggy but good flavor. The atmosphere is really mellow her and I love the industrial space. It felt warm and cosy. The hostess was really friendly and accommodating, and the Bartender was friendly and efficient! I will go back for sure!

We've gone to Roux twice now, and we loved it both times. Always start with the beignets - they are a delicious start to any brunch. No complaints about the staff. They are attentive and kind. I highly recommend these folks for a weekend brunch!

Food was good, service was terrible. If we go back we will sit at the bar and avoid table service.

My partner and I had a great first experience at Roux. Our bartender/server was super knowledgeable about the menu and happily offered suggestions. We ended up trying some small plates that we probably normally wouldn't have...but were so glad we did! SO DELICIOUS!! Loved it all.

We love Roux! Great food and great service! I love the chicken and waffles. The chicken is perfectly fried and doesn't have too much batter. The egg and ham benedict also is a favorite. The staff always is very nice. I enjoy sitting at the kitchen bar and watching the crew make breakfast.
