Led by Senior Chef de Cuisine Brandon Near, Water’s Table at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington lifts the brunch experience with a hyperlocal focus on Pacific Northwest ingredients. The à la carte menu includes dishes such as prawns and grits, eggs in purgatory, and bananas foster French toast. With stunning views of Lake Washington and a commitment to fresh seafood and farm-raised meats, this is where brunch becomes an event, especially when you throw bottomless mimosas into the mix.

Hot Tip

Don’t miss the horchata cold brew, a mix of whiskey, coffee, and cinnamon cream liqueur.

Staff Pick

Geraldine’s in Columbia City has the feel of the bygone era of diners. Regardless, the best French toast in Seattle, bar none.
