Best Seasonal Restaurants in Lake Union / Eastlake

Luis and the food were amazing! Spinasse continues to be our favorite!

Was lucky enough to have chef Shiro himself. Every bite was exquisite! It's an experience and excellent meal.

We live a couple blocks away and come here at least a couple times a year, especially when friends and family visit. Great quality restaurant and the atmosphere is unmatched. A Seattle institution.

Breakfast was wonderful, loved the farmers hash and the French toast. We always enjoy going to the French toast bar and oh the giant mountain of whipped cream is amazing. We did ask for an extra plate that never did come, but it was very busy, so I’m sure the waitress just forgot.

A Seattle Favorite – Republic Never Disappoints For my colleagues and me, a trip to Seattle isn’t complete without a meal at Republic. It’s become a tradition—no matter how packed our schedules are, we always find time to come back. The food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality keep us returning again and again. For me, the highlight is always the pork chop—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired with some of the best grits and collard greens I’ve ever had. It’s the kind of meal you think about long after you’ve left, counting down the days until you can have it again. Republic isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a staple of our Seattle visits. If you’re looking for a spot that consistently delivers incredible food and a warm, welcoming experience, this is it. Already looking forward to my next visit!
