BLACK BOTTLE I GASTRO-TAVERN

I've been drawn to dark interiors lately and Black Bottle hit the spot. With affordable eats, delicious drinks, and only a few steps away from the Ace Hotel, this place was a winner. I'm not going to lie, we went there twice in one day! I highly recommend it.

BASTILLE CAFÉ AND BAR // BALLARD SUNDAY FARMERS MARKET

This was one of my favorite mornings in Seattle. We went to Bastille Café and Bar for a relaxed brunch and followed the meal by walking around the Ballard Farmers Market that was taking place right outside of the café. It was also my favorite morning because the Lavender-Scented Brioche French Toast at Bastille was the best french toast I have had in my life! If you go there for brunch on Sunday, get it...it will knock your socks off!

PORTAGE BAY CAFE

They had me at "eat like you give a damn". Local, organic, and sustainable eats--right up my alley. Portage Bay Cafe had an incredible brunch selection and the "toppings bar" for their pancakes and french toast was unlike any I had seen before! I ordered the Lemon Curd French Toast and Josh ordered the Greek Omelette. Check out their menu and grab a napkin for your drool!
