All-day cafe with Australian-inspired dishes, cocktails & weekend brunch


























"If you’re interested in having a glass of wine or refreshing cocktail in a space that could be your apartment if you tried a little harder, check out Arthur’s in West Seattle. This restaurant/bar/cafe hybrid feels like a bookstore in a sleepy coastal town, complete with an abundance of plants and desert-inspired art prints. It’s truly perfect for zoning out while a stranger goes on (and on, and on) about their backpacking trip to Europe. Good thing they serve crunchy crostini that can drown all that out." - aimee rizzo

"How does brunch for dinner sound? This cozy West Seattle cafe serves fresh croissants, Benedicts, and ricotta hotcakes all day, and manages to deftly cater to the clean-eating crowd with dishes like wholesome grain bowls, seasonal “hempnola,” and an ayurvedic turmeric soup, while also satisfying brunch decadents in search of hollandaise and a bloody mary. The menu and decor have a slight Aussie bent, an homage to the owner’s Australian father for whom the restaurant is named, and its take on avocado toast — which hails from Sydney — is a classic. This spot is also known for being able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, including gluten-free people." - Sophie Grossman

"When: Monday-Friday, 2-6pm, Saturday, 3-6pm The Deal: $2 Off Cocktails, Draft Beers, Wine, And House Spirits It's smart to keep this Australian cafe in mind for lingering with a laptop while drinking a cocktail or coffee—whatever your speed. They also serve mini breakfast sandwiches that come with an itty bitty paper bag of shoestring fries. Do it for the itty bitty bag of shoestring fries." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"A next-generation Jewish nosh bar that draws long waits for good reason, blending modern Jewish fare with a brunch-friendly, bakery-linked presence and positioning itself as a must-visit for contemporary takes on Jewish cuisine." - Valerie Silva
"If you’re interested in having a glass of wine or refreshing cocktail in a space that could be your apartment if you tried a little harder, check out Arthur’s in West Seattle. This restaurant/bar/cafe hybrid feels like a bookstore in a sleepy coastal town, complete with an abundance of plants and desert-inspired art prints. It’s truly perfect for zoning out on a first date as the stranger across from you goes on (and on, and on) about their backpacking trip to Europe. Good thing they serve crunchy crostini that can drown all that out." - Aimee Rizzo
