Best Brunch Restaurants in Laurelhurst

One of our favorites for many years past, and likely many to come.

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.

This is the best restaurant in Seattle, actually the Puget Sound area! My favorite! The appetizers are always so delicious! This time we had the scallops and also the crab on crispy rice cakes, yummy! The French onion soup and gumbo. The Jambalaya, Shrimp Lucy (which are the ones my husband and son always get), I tried the halibut and jumbo shrimp for the entree …, oh yum!! So fresh!! Great service and the ambiance is amazing! Thanks again!!

We came here for Christmas Eve brunch! We all had a very good dining experience! My husband loved his crab quiche! Diana took care of us. She was wonderful!! Thank you!! 🥰

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.
