Ben Paris

This place was great, the staff was fantastic and our time here was well spent. We had an intentional brunch and we had a lot of movers and shakers at the brunch, which is an inspiration in it's self. We all ordered, had drinks, and laughed and no one felt out of place. The ambience, food, and service was great and this made the overall time well worth it. Thank you for getting my accommodations sorted for the final third time (my party kept growing), and they were nothing but patient. We made reservations for about 8 ppl on a Saturday at 10am, first ones there made it easier to get a sit, drink our coffee, and relax. Parking is across the street in a paid parking garage, but worth it, because parking around the hotel/restaurant is dreadful, and we all did great. Hope your stay is as welcome as ours.

Oh yah, the best part, I got the OG breakfast, which was perfect and the parfait to go with it, came a little before the food, and it was a slice of heaven (fun addition) to the meal. I remember loving the coffee too, that is my go to - a drip coffee in a ceramic cup, simple and 'oh so' perfect with my meal.

I moved to Seattle in January and walk by Ben Paris all the time, I live on the same ave. Finally, I got to try the Ricotta Pancakes that people have been recommending me to try out and it does live up to the hype. 5/5 for the delicious pancakes.

4/5 For the shakshuka. I wish my eggs were sunny side up like a traditional shakshuka. Although, maybe I should have asked.. Servers usually ask how eggs liked to be served. No biggy though! The flavors were balanced, I like the texture from the crispy chickpeas. I enjoyed the touch of mint.

3.5/5 Cauliflower kale chicken salad. The salad could have been infused with a bit more dressing, it was very dry. I do like the taste of the dressing. The kale over powered the salad. The chicken lacked flavor, the texture was great.

Ben Paris offers healthy options and I like that.
I would definitely come here again for the pancakes and some coffee. The interior is super inviting and gorgeous + picture worthy. Thank you!

Went here for happy hour at 4:30 on a Thursday, we made reservations but didn't need to as it was pretty open. We asked what the seasonal punch was on their happy hour menu but the told us its actually a sangria. We ordered a couple of things to try. The place is super cute, well decorated and just a few blocks from pikes. I would recommend this spot if you want maybe a nice photo but I wouldn't recommend it for the food. Wouldn't come back personally.

Sangria - 5/10. Just ok
Shishito peppers - 6/10. Not bad but I really didn't like the yogurt sauce paired with it, way too overpowering and just dislike.
Sliders 5/10. Nothing special, lil dry for me
Cauliflower -7 /10. Very light and refreshing, liked the pine nuts.

This was my first time and it lived up to its viral expectations. We ordered the breakfast plate (I recommend! You get a little taste of everything ), truffle fries, and the pancakes. The pancakes were yummy and really good crepe like texture BUT they had a weird Smokey meat essence. Like they were cooked on the same surface as the bacon or sausage ... we also ordered a pitcher of mimosa which was $56!!! Kind of over priced ??!! Overall, id come back again for the food and ambiance/decor. The service was okay/mid. We tried to explain the pancake situation bc my friend is vegetarian and it was off putting savory flavor. But they kind of ignored it. And our waitress didnt say much to us the entire time besides "enjoy ".

We had a reservation for 2 people and were seated within seconds. They have a lovely interior and space.

There are multiple parking garages across the street. Our order was taken within in seconds and the waitress stopped by a good amount of time.

I ordered cranberry juice, latte, and breakfast Ben. The breakfast Ben had potatoes, eggs, replaced pork with avocados, and yogurt. The plating and food were delicious.

My friend ordered the avocado toast and enjoyed it. It was a large slice of bread.

Showed up just in time For Brunch Lunch. The service and ambiance was nice. The food looked really good but some of it fell a little short. The potatoes from the Ben Pairs Breakfast were super good. The Tavern Burger was filling but the sauce is what flavored the burger not the patty. The fried chicken sandwich had almost no chicken in it. It was mostly just chicken skin and batter only 2 bites worth of chicken, it did have good flavor but still. The Fig grill cheese was good but it had a little too much fig jam in it. Definitely overpowered the blue cheese and the bacon.

To find the restroom was super confusing. There's no signage and had to ask a few people how to get to it since it's part of a hotel. Ended up going down 2 floors to get to it

I came here for brunch on my second day in Seattle. I was very excited to get the Shakshuka but was a little disappointed. I think it was a bit more sour than I would have liked. I think if you prefer it less sour, perhaps ask for less feta. The service was great though. Overall it was a decent experience.

This place has been bookmarked for me for so long! Finally found time to come in for a weekend brunch (and a nice meal in a cold AC'd restaurant in the Seattle heat wave). I made a reservation for 2 people that same morning.

Parking is a bit difficult since it's right next to the market, but there are garages around. The restaurant itself is connected to the hotel, and has a really cute space. It's airy and bright.

I ordered the breakfast sandwich which was so good! The biscuit was nice and crumbly but also seasoned just right to go with the rest of the sandwich. The chili adds just a tiny bit of spice and the sausage was also delectable. Juicy and flavorful. Best part were the crunchy potatoes. I find that brunch places usually give too many potatoes and I can never finish them. This was the perfect amount. I finished every single bite and every bite was delicious.

Overall, super yummy! I'd definitely come back to try their dinner menu!

Really lovely sot to have brunch! Took my husband here for his birthday. We were really looking forward to trying their ricotta pancakes but to our dismay they were all out of them at 10:30am! Such a bummer.

Service was nice, we didn't really have a waiter but the host made sure we were taken care of since we were tucked into a corner by the door.

Atmosphere is nice, lovely decor, cushy seats and a variety of people! I saw more people dressed up on the weekends. This spot is also right in front of Pike Place and across from Target.

Food:
+ sad about the pancakes :(
+ Ben Paris breakfast plate - came with a yogurt parfait which was nice, scrambled eggs were yummy, potatoes were perfection. I got the sausage which was ok. I also got the biscuit which costs 2.5 more and it was good.
+ My husband got the chicken sandwich with fries and he seemed to enjoy.

Overall, they have some really great potatoes and eggs!

Came by on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30 and there was an hour long wait - not a huge problem since we ended up walking around the market in the meantime. Inside was clean - attached to the hotel and our waitress was very kind and friendly. 5/5 for the service itself!

We felt the food was just okay - nothing particularly special, especially given all the other positive reviews and the extensive wait.

3/5 -Breakfast sandwich - sandwich itself was okay, a bit dense and heavy with the biscuit and sausage but the crispy potatoes were delicious and unique. This dish overall felt a bit dry and heavy for us.

4/5 - Baked Eggs with avocado (+$3 add on), this was much tastier and essentially a shakshuka. Very fresh tasting with the cilantro and fresh herbs on top and the tomato base was a great acidic compliment to the cheese and eggs to balance to dish. The bread that came with it was really good - we wish we had more of it to dip!

Maybe our expectations were a bit high given the other positive reviews and wait time here but overall we felt this was more of your average brunch place.
