My husband and I recently visited Seattle and went here for dinner with a group of friends. It was so delicious that we ended up getting brunch there with my SIL and her fiancé the next morning. To drink at dinner, we shared a bottle of Pinot Gris. It was a really cute bottle with an otter on it. The wine was crisp and delicious. I also got a Diet Coke, and I was impressed by their brew. For dinner, we got pita with tzatziki and fig sauce, lamb kebabs, and meatball to start. This was the best pita bread I've ever had. It was so soft and flavorful. The sauces were amazing!! The seasoning on the lamb kebabs made every bite incredible and they were cooked perfectly. They also come out on the sizzling plate, and I thought that was super fun. For our entree, my husband and I shared the half roasted chicken. It was tender and juicy with perfect crispy skin. Everything I ate at dinner was incredible and left me satisfied but still wanting more. We loved it so much we decided to try it for breakfast. I got the French toast and a side of bacon. The chantilly whip cream really too it to the next level. The bacon was phenomenal. My SIL's fiancé said the scrambled eggs were the best eggs he's ever had. They looked very fluffy. The potatoes that came with breakfast were out of this world. Super crispy outside and soft in the middle. Everyone we at here with loved their meals. It is definitely pricey but worth it. The service was great. I hope to be back someday.

Eggs Benedict
Ashley J.

I was visiting Seattle over a holiday weekend, and we stopped by Lola for brunch. Most restaurants in the area were closed for the holiday, so we didn't have any high expectations, but we were very pleasantly surprised that this ended up being one of our favorite meals on our trip. I made a brunch reservation the night before and there were plenty of open time slots. It was a little busy but there were a couple of tables open. The service was very fast despite the holiday. We ordered the Lola breakfast and the eggs Benedict. The crispy potatoes that came with both meals were really good. The eggs were very fluffy and the sauce on the benedict was flavorful and lemony. I'd definitely come back here for brunch next time I'm in Seattle.

Stopped in for a bite to eat after checking into our hotel. Was able to snag seats at the bar as it was a good 20 to 30 min wait. Ordered the breakfast with eggs, sausage (the hubby got bacon) it also came with toast and garlic smashed crispy potatoes. I did order an espresso martini which was really good. The service was good and the food was delicious. Very casual I side and. It too loud. Would definitely go back.

Visited with a friend who made a brief trip to Seattle. We came for brunch on a weekend and made a reservation, so there was no wait but it was definitely crowded. I would definitely suggest making a reservation ahead of time if you can! For the food, I really liked the hash brown/falafel hybrid--super unique and really delicious! Their beignets were also nice and fluffy and the toast was decent as well. However, I wasn't a big fan of their scrambled eggs. Overall it was a solid choice for brunch, I'd order something different for my main dish though!

Oh my gosh, this dish I got was SO good! I honestly forgot what it was called, but I would definitely order it again. Their mini donuts are also so delicious, and the portions are pretty filling. This place does get really busy during brunch, so definitely add yourself to the waitlist ahead of time!

Calamari and chermoula sauce
J S.

Had a nice dinner here. Highlights were the pita, all of the dips, the seafood stew, and the fried calamari. The chermoula sauce for the calamari was delicious. We personally did not care for the flavor or thigh meat chicken kebab but it was presented nicely and the sauce was flavorful. The steak was nice and cooked just right but could have used some finishing salt. We also had 3 cocktails. 2 of them were delicious. One which is not in the photos was called ouz operator and I simply did not enjoy it, at all, matter of personal taste. Server didn't ask how everything was or if we liked it, and I thought that was a bit odd. Our server was friendly but she was also busy with a lot of tables and our interactions felt more quick and business like. A couple times we needed something I had to make eye contact to get attention. Inside was quite nice. Simple. We had a booth by the window and it was just right. Overall a very nice time if you want this style of food.

Lola, a Tom Douglas restaurant is amazing. I have not been to this place for a long time. I'm glad I did tonight. I am so glad it has continued to have great food and service. Ambiance is awesome! Lots of people so make your reservations like us. We ordered a shared appetizer - pita bread and all 6 kinds of toppings hummus, tzatziki, and all they offer. Each one of us had an entree ranging from lamb burger, chicken, mushroom and lamb kebabs - all so good. It was so tender and tasty. Enough to fill us. Love it! So good! Kebabs were served on a hot plate. Nice presentation. Service was outstanding. Good attentive service .

Spread sampler, freshly grilled pita
Jenny Z.

Service was friendly and there was plenty of seating inside with mood lighting. No reservations needed as we just walked in on a weekday around 7:30 pm. The server came up to greet us and make suggestions. We tried their grape leaves rice rolls, Bean Shakshuka, and pita bread dip with olive and figs. Everything was priced quite high and did not really hit the spot for me. I wasn't a big fan of the grape leaves rice rolls. Their pita bread with fig and olive dip was recommended by the server and was told you wouldn't taste the olive but olives were the only thing you could taste..and I am not a fan of olives :( The bean Shakshuka was probably the best. It came with 2 slices of toasted bread, a warm slightly mild tomato base, cheese, and beans. Pretty good! I also don't know why there is a door directly inside the hotel that leads to this restaurant inside, but they have a signage to go around .. meaning to go outside in the COLD OR SNOW (yes it was snowing at midnight) to enter the restaurant from their front door. If I'm staying at this hotel, it would be nice to have direct access to the restaurant inside. Would come back if I'm staying at the Andra again, but would probably order their breakfast menu instead.

Coming off the plane, this was a great place to land (pun intended). Where else can you find octopus hash? The salmon kabob was cooked perfectly.

one golden brown pancake
Diana S.

Lola is a cute corner spot in the downtown area. I came in on an early weekday morning before a conference to grab the pancakes and maple sausage that I'd heard about so much. The service was kind and attentive - especially when they confirmed that I could get a single pancake to complement my breakfast. The pancake was the star! I recommend this place for a great breakfast!

Saganaki & Pan seared sea scallops
Sabrina P.

A few friends and I went out to Lola on a Saturday night. We made a reservation, which probably wasn't strictly needed with our arrival around 6 PM, but the restaurant was pretty full by the time we left. The overall vibe of the restaurant is great - very New York with just one long sitting area with the kitchen at the back basically. Our booth had a nice view of Virginia street. The food was good - the scallops and saganaki particularly stood out. My only complaint was the prices. We opted for skewers, but were quickly told that a side would be needed in order to feel full. While the Greek spaghetti was good, it was pretty basic for a $17 price tag, combined with a $21 cheese and fig fig skewer that only had a 6 or so pieces each of fig and cheese. Beer is also a little expensive for the area at $9 a pint. Overall nice and near a major bus arterial, but would likely only come back with out of town guests if showing them around downtown Seattle and we needed a fancy and conveniently located restaurant.

Pear French Toast Shakshuka
Matthew S.

Good breakfast and brunch pass through, perfect for corporate stays nearby swinging over from hotels. Nice mixes and overall portions for singular or very shareable time in the space. A simple diner by feel, but the taste steps above any basic diner recipes and does well at what it aims for. Overall a worthwhile brunch for a small group. The space is small enough that I would generally want to avoid it when very crowded.

Spanikopita
Maggie B.

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and it was quite lovely! The wine was excellent--we got the Orcas Project Sangiovese and the Sellas Agiorgitiko. For dinner, we had one of the Valentine's Day specials, Imam Byaldi, which was a very tasty eggplant dish. We also got spanakopita, which I was delighted to find out was vegan. It was pretty good, especially for a vegan version. The star of the show was truly the dessert. We got the doughnuts and the hazelnut malted milk cremeaux. Both of them were incredible! It was busy for the holiday but service was still excellent. I dropped my napkin and one of the employees who was bussing tables went above and beyond to pick it up and get me a new one before I even noticed I dropped it! My only complaint is that the plates, table, and glassware all needed to be scrubbed a little more. Overall great experience and good food! I'd like to come back and try brunch sometime.

See all

I was in Seattle for business and had time to explore. We enjoyed breakfast at Lola's. The food was 10 out of 10. The service was superb!

Ask the Community - LOLA

Do they need reservations for brunch?

Preferably to be safe. They're really popular over the weekend!

Can you make a vegan eggs Benedict? Can you replace the egg yolks with silken tofu and the butter with something like Earth Balance to make it ethical? You could also replace the poached eggs with Just Egg or another easy to find and cheap egg.

Hi we are unable to make a vegan benedict as hollandaise is made using butter and eggs. We can make you poached eggs with sautéed greens on an English muffin if that would work .… 

Are you open today?

Yes, they just reopened on Oct. 28!

Is there dairy in the mini doughnuts/beignets?

Hi there Amber- yes there is milk in the LOLA doughnuts and also they are served with house made jam and vanilla mascarpone.… 

Is 18% service fee mandatory?

It was on our bill. I usually tip 20% so our server lost out a bit. But yes, it appears to be mandatory based on my experience.

Any vegetarian options?

Yes, they can customize anything on the menu into a vegetarian meal.

If you eat at Lola, do they validate parking?

No.

Is there a park for cars?

No, but there's plenty of parking lots all around Lola. I usually park a couple blocks down.

Is there anyone to change the salmon in the eggs Benedict for any other type of meat?

You can definitely ask to change the meat in the eggs bene! They are very accommodating!

Do you offer any gluten free options?

7am to 3pm Brunch ends at 3pm

From what time to time is lola serving brunch?

6am during the week and 7am on the weekend not sure what time it ends
