This Colombian restaurant up in the Northgate area has an all-day menu of lovingly crafted comfort food. Among the items on the brunch side of things are the bandeja paisa, with grilled skirt steak, chicharron, chorizo, sweet plantains, and an egg. The empanadas are critically acclaimed as well.

Ballard’s Korean-influenced restaurant serves swoon-worthy coffee and Instagram-ready French toast, which has the perfect combination of crunchiness and sweetness thanks to a cereal-coated crust. Those with a strong appetite may want to tackle the barbecue plate, with roasted pork, ssamjang, and various kimchi, or the tempting loco moco.

This Ballard favorite’s brunch menu has a variety of more all-day fare dinner items (hearty salads, roasted veggies, pizzas), along with breakfast food. Standouts include the dutch baby, served in a cast iron pan and topped with orange chili agrodolce and the grilled porchetta with sunny eggs, salsa verde, and crispy potatoes.

Juices, scrambles, breakfast sandwiches, and vegetable hashes are the focus at this charming Queen Anne spot, which also has locations in South Lake Union, and Capitol Hill. Brunch plates served all day lean toward the lighter end of the spectrum (gluten-free griddle cakes, granola bowls), but the food is always satisfying.

Those looking for fantastic biscuit sandwiches should seek out this Madison Valley gem, which serves them smothered in chicken sausage gravy (or in sandwich form). One must save room for dessert, though, as the shop is known for its sweet potato pies and tarts. A move to the Central District is coming soon.

Despite its proximity to Seattle Center and the Space Needle, this wildly popular cafe is no tourist trap, but rather a great neighborhood place that locals can enjoy. With a European feel and an eclectic menu, the restaurant also has one definitive star: the Dutch baby pancake, whose cast iron-baked goodness has earned fame, far and wide.

Capitol Hill’s acclaimed, cozy Eastern European restaurant has a weekend daytime menu that includes its popular khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread). There’s still no dine-in service, but contactless pickup is available with online pre-orders via the website, and there are all-day breakfast items on Saturdays and Sundays, including blintzes, latkes, and challah French toast.

International street food sensation Nue serves up a diverse brunch, and it’s a success across the board. As with the dynamic dinner menu, expect new dishes to appear constantly. Brunch currently involves stand-outs like the Filipino tosilog, with cured pork, garlic fried rice, a soy and vinegar sauce, and two sunny side-up eggs, and the Israeli shakshuka, along with stellar drinks.

The stars at this Central District favorite (which recently reopened for dine-in) are the honey butter chicken biscuit sandwich and the restaurant’s namesake sampler, with two pieces of chicken served alongside fried green tomatoes, cheese grits and garlic toast. Brunch is popular and the restaurant can feel hectic, but the warm service and fantastic food are worth it.

This not-so-secret diner inside West Seattle’s iconic record shop serves what’s perhaps the neighborhood’s best breakfast and brunch menu — and possibly its most affordable too. Music-themed items available for pickup include for the New Wave-Os Rancheros, the Notorious B&G (biscuits and gravy), and the Johnny Cash special (steak and eggs).

This Columbia City classic is renowned for its French toast, but its scrambles, omelets, and hashes are no slouches either. The diner also has some brunch cocktails, as well as crab Benedicts and chicken fried steak with pork sausage gravy to soak up the booze. If there’s a long wait, diners may want to consider to-go orders to eat on the neighborhood’s nearby outdoor patio.
