Sauce Nouvelle — Restaurant in Bainbridge Island

My gf and I were looking for places to eat for our short trip to Bainbridge. This place popped up and had 5 star reviews, the pictures looked good and we were in the mood for sandwiches so we stopped in. She ordered the corn beef hash with mangosteen chutney, and honestly I would have gotten that one too but we wanted to experience more of what they had to offer so I got the apricot chicken salad sandwich.

After I ordered, the chef asked me if I wanted to change the order to something else because he mentioned they were still perfecting the flavors for that dish. I said okay and went with the peach spice chicken sandwich. When our orders came out he ended up giving me both sandwiches because he wanted feedback. So I ended up getting an extra sandwich for free which was incredibly nice, and we were happy to give our feedback on the sandwiches. They were all delicious, each unique and flavorful, and we pretty much ate all three sandwiches in one sitting they were so good.

Definitely recommend the corn beef hash, it was everything I expected it to be from reading the description and I will be getting it again. I really liked the apricot chicken sandwich as well, it's very savory and the garlic aioli sauce was amazing, I think an apricot balsamic glaze drizzled over the chicken would have put this on top for me. The peach spice chicken sandwich was really good and tasted like Christmas, incredibly unique flavor.

These guys go above and beyond for service, I can tell they really care about their food and customers. The food is delicious, 10/10. Can't wait to...

Best sandwiches I've ever eaten, hands down. We went there only because there were long lines at the other eateries. Sauce Nouvelle is in downtown Winslow, tucked into the back of The Cove,

These guys made sandwiches and slaw with amazing tastes that I'd never even thought of. There is a reason they're the only place in town with a perfect five-star rating.

There's side slaw has a yuzu dressing that is off the charts, amazing! If they sold the dressing, I'd definitely stock up. It's no side slaw; totally co-star.

The Chicken Curry Sandwich with banana curry sauce is off the charts amazing too! I love the tastes and contrast between the curry and the banana. Very balanced and tasty sandwich.That'll be unlike anything you've had before.

Then there's the Roast Beef & Mascarpone Hummus sandwich. This is such an amazing roast beef sandwich. You have to try it to believe it. I don't know how they did it, but it is soooo good!!

These guys are a little bit mad scientist. Check out the lab equipment to use to extract primo taste that other people think is impossible. And they're great guys to talk to.

If you're in line at the of one of the other eateries on the island, step out, go over to this place. You will not be disappointed. You will have one of the most amazing taste experiences of your life guaranteed! And their prices are surprisingly low for what...

🌟🥪 A Cherry-on-Top Sandwich Dream at Sauce Nouvelle! 🥪🌟 Bainbridge Island, WA

If you find yourself on Bainbridge Island and don’t go to Sauce Nouvelle, I’m genuinely concerned for your taste buds. This little sandwich sanctuary is crafting gourmet handheld miracles—and the Rainier Cherry Ribeye Beef sandwich? Oh. My. Flavor.

Let’s break it down: Tender, juicy ribeye (like, close-your-eyes-and-moan good) paired with the subtle sweet zing of Rainier cherries, as if your sandwich took a scenic ferry ride through flavor country. Add in garlic aioli that slaps in the best possible way, pickled red onions with just enough sass, and a handful of peppery arugula for balance—and you’ve got a love letter to your mouth.

Oh, and it’s all hugged lovingly by a perfectly crusty-on-the-outside, pillowy-on-the-inside ciabatta roll. This isn’t a sandwich. It’s an edible mic drop.

The staff? Chill and charming, like if Wes Anderson directed a deli. The vibe? Rustic meets artsy with just enough quirk to feel cool without trying too hard.

Final verdict? 11/10. Would swim to Bainbridge if the ferry broke down. This sandwich deserves its own lighthouse.

Go. Order the Rainier Cherry Ribeye. Tell them your taste...
