Best Organic Food Restaurants in U Village / U District

Look, I judge restaurants by the food primarily. So the small things I prefer or don't like about noise, value, or service timing matter, but not that much. Because the food at Terra Plata was really really good. We had one course from each quadrant of the menu (starter, earth, land, sea), and they were all good. We had the albracore crudo (really really good despite finding one pinbone), shishito peppers (normally an afterthought at restaurants - not here, the spices added a lot of depth), and the truffle and mushroom risotto (perfect texture). The land course (portuguese roast pig) was probably the only disappointment because it just wasn't as much of a flavor bomb as we expected from the ingredient's listed and just lacked something special. But it was still quite good, just overshadowed by the other dishes. And finally, the dessert (Basque Cheesecake) was amazing. No store bought pre-made dessert here. Unbelievable texture and the blood orange caramel was perfectly balanced. Tiny notes: the food comes out as it's done, which sometimes leads to awkward timing unless you plan what makes sense to have in what order. The service is good, but the restaurant was busy and you won't have them checking on you often. Not inherently an issue - I would rather have someone bothering me less than more. And we did find a pin bone in the crudo. But overall, it's a place I would recommend to foodies.

Luis and the food were amazing! Spinasse continues to be our favorite!

Right off the bat we liked the vibe of the place - upscale casual atmosphere. The food was delicious and beautifully plated, and our server was extremely knowledgeable about every item on the menu as well as absolutely delightful. Despite it being a little on the spendy side, we look forward to going back the next time we visit Seattle.

Breakfast was wonderful, loved the farmers hash and the French toast. We always enjoy going to the French toast bar and oh the giant mountain of whipped cream is amazing. We did ask for an extra plate that never did come, but it was very busy, so I’m sure the waitress just forgot.

I am not Vegan and were hesitant about spending so much for a prix fix vegan meal. But it was delicious, inventive, and I didn’t miss the meat nor diary. We did this for our family who are vegetarian and gluten intolerant. We all enjoyed the meal! I love that there is beverage pairing. I would recommend anyone who is vegan and looking for a fancy celebration.
