Nestled in a charming neighborhood, this adorable Champagne Tavern serves up delightful tapas and exquisite bubbly, making it perfect for intimate gatherings and brunches that lift the spirits.
"This funky little bistro on Beacon Hill is the best spot in town for sparkling wine. And their brunch menu is a fantastic accompaniment, even if you only split an order of cream puffs and a round of passionfruit champagne punches. You won’t find three-egg breakfasts or pancake stacks here. Instead, expect things like braised duck benedicts with perfect poached eggs, griddled garam masala-kicked bread pudding with serious pumpkin spice energy (PSE), and our favorite dish, a custardy-crispy roasted cauliflower frittata." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"This is one of the most divine and luxurious brunch spots in the whole of Seattle. Treat yourself to an Aperol spritz and an order of tempura battered cream puffs to feel like you’re on holiday in Paris. Start with one of the many fabulous bottles of Champagne and caviar service to kick it up a notch. Don’t drink alcohol? There is a gorgeous variety of hand-crafted mocktails and French press coffee and teas." - Joey Carreon
"Brunch is, at its heart, about decadence and excess, and it doesn’t get more shamelessly indulgent than a side of caviar to accompany your hashbrowns and a Champagne flight to wash it all down. Familiar weekend morning classics are reinvigorated with an inventive twist at this “Champagne tavern,” whether that means braised duck and hoisin butter topping the Benedict, kimchi in the Coupe’s version of a croque-madame, or garam masala and a Grand Marnier-butter syrup adding unexpected complexity to the bread pudding. Creative uses of duck fat abound, and though there are a couple of vegetarian options that aren’t a salad, they’re not as interesting as their meaty counterparts. Vegetarians and vegans can, however, console themselves with exceptional fries." - Sophie Grossman, Eater Staff
"If you take a shuttered travel agency, slap up some bricks and art deco bird-patterned wallpaper, and fill it with bottles of champagne, you get The Coupe & Flute. This funky little bistro is officially the best spot in town for sparkling wine, whether you casually enjoy bubbles or your phone’s lock screen is currently the French countryside. Come here on a late afternoon to sip fizzy wine alongside snacks like battered prawns tossed in tamarind BBQ sauce, pomme frites with Sichuan chili mayo, and gnocchi with green pea pesto. It’s all served without any pretentiousness—the staff won’t assume you’re a viticulture novice, but they also won’t totally leave you on your own to navigate the world of carbonated grape juice. And with other drinks like spritzes, non-alcoholic aperitifs, and bottles of white, red, and rosé, you don’t have to be champagne-obsessed to appreciate a night out (or a weekend brunch) here.
