L'Échelle sits on SE Division Street in Richmond, a neighborhood French bistro built from a concept the late chef Naomi Pomeroy set in motion before her death. It opened officially in May 2025, with Mika Paredes named head chef ahead of the opening.
The menu stays rooted in French bistro classics while drawing on Pacific Northwest ingredients, described as fitting both special occasions and regular weeknights. Oysters and charcuterie have stood out among regulars.
The room reads as cozy with attentive service, though it can get loud when full.
