Best Brunch Restaurants in Laurelhurst

Food, service, decor, atmosphere is all incredible. Would absolutely recommend if you can get a brunch reservation!

Wonderful French inspired cuisine and great service. And prices that don’t break the bank like some others in the Pike place market. Also no hidden 20% gratuity— again unlike many are now doing in the area.

There were 8 of us seated after the Nutcracker. We had our choice of the dining room or the bar. We chose a high topper in the bar. To put it simply service was excellent from the minute we were greeted at the door to taking our leave. The food was exceptional with a large and varied menu that provided everyone with what they wanted. Ordering came down to trying for as wide a selection as possible which was easy. My food recommendation - get anything that looks interesting to you. We will definitely come back to enjoy again.

We have been to Stella’s before for their holiday offerings and have not been disappointed. We decided to try their Christmas Eve dinner and we were served 4 courses of very delicious food. The prime rib dinner was particularly outstanding. What was different this time around was the service, however. They seemed to be short staffed and it took some time after we sat time for us to be acknowledged. After we received our food, no one bothered checking in with us to see whether it was to our liking. We ordered wine and it finally arrived after our dessert! My wife and I have eaten at Stella’s many times. We have always enjoyed the food and the service as being outstanding! I will just chalk this up to being a one off.

Cozy yet bustling restaurant in the heart of Ballard Ave. The inside is a bit fancier and the outdoor seating is pretty casual. Excellent food and drinks, and there was a wine expert of staff to make recommendations. I would say we had very good service. We ate early so there was no wait for a table even on a Saturday. I’ll definitely be going back.
