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!

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 ".

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.

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. Reasons for Rating: +1 Excellent location and parking +1 Food taste really good +1 Customer service +1 Interior/atmosphere +1 Would return/recommend others

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!
