Best Lunch Restaurants in Bellingham

This was my first time at The Lunch Lady. We made a reservation just over 2 weeks in advance and the only option on a Sunday evening was outdoor patio (so make sure to reserve well in advance for weekends!). The outdoor patio, they mention, is heated, and it truly was warm, covered and comfortable. We had the beef carpaccio which was good, garlic noodles, and this I would recommend, but my favorite dish was the steak luc lac (done medium rare with this burnt scallion butter that was divine). My friend had the beef noodle soup, and although the broth was great and the soup was a sizeable portion, you can get something similar in other Vietnamese restaurants. Finally, their customer service is fantastic. All in all, with the service, food and price, I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

It was better than we could have imagined. From the specialty cocktails to the Coho salmon and halibut to a delicious pistachio cheesecake, at a cozy table for two by the fireplace, it was a perfect date night.

We liked the gem salad, rye bread, carrots, and duck confit. The mushroom dish was flavorful but heavier on lentils than mushrooms. The tuna in the crudo was a bit fishy. Overall a nice meal in B-ham. Cocktails nice though wine selection limited.

Lovely setting. Good steak salad. Fish and chips scored high on the fish but the chips were sad.

The food was good. I would recommend the scallops And the salmon dip. Only problems with food were that the smaller pieces of bread that came with the salmon dip would break having had to much dip on it and the lemon was VERY sour, the most sour lemon I have ever had. But otherwise both of us loved our food and the waitress was great even though the kitchen was a little loud. If anyone we know comes to Bellingham we will recommend this place to them and come back if we can!
