Tilikum Place Cafe

Walkable distance from the Space Needle , this is a must visit for brunch ! Menu changes frequently. Excellent service , cool atmosphere!

There's a reason why this is one of the top-rated brunch spots in Seattle. Amazing food, great service, and a quick walk to the space needle . Worth the wait even if they are busy.

If you are coming here for brunch on either weekend day, get a reservation because it is busy. Also, if they have the fritters with maple bourbon sauce as a starter, order-they're amazingly delicious!

My rating: 8.9. Great all around place. Been here for a couple dinners and a brunch . Brunch is king. Highly recommend the Fry Up and Sweet Dutch Baby (pic below).

Largely underrated, the lofty ceilings and large windows create a bright and airy space perfect for the seasonal dishes that comfortingly reflect the best Northwest ingredients. [Eater 38 Member]

Super Easter Sunday breakfast , excellent ambience, excellent service and delicious food. Home made baked beans just perfect, jam too. Could highly recommend- busy but worth booking

French press coffee and a sweet Dutch baby will run you $25 with tax and tip after a 45 minute wait to be seated. Worth going once to try.

Dutch babies are a must try. Actually everything is a must try. The French press coffee is delicious and huge- good for up to 3 people. This place is superb

French toast was amazing, best benny ever, long wait tho. Solid brunch Reservations recommended.

Lovely cozy dinner . Excellent food and service. Not too expensive and not too cheap . Date or business dinner approved!

The Tilikum Fry Up is outstanding and filling. I also love the Warm Bread with Nutella . Order Dutch Babies for the table!

Cured salmon Benedict was superb. Great place for brunch before doing Chihuly/space needle.

Hot chocolate here is more milk than chocolate , other than that, most selections are upstanding. Fave: fry up, orange juice , lemon cookie ice cream . Cappuccino is strong.

Nice bistro place. Make a reservation before or eat at the bar . Staff is really nice. Food is OK. The place has its charm.

"They have a famous Seattle breakfast called a Dutch Baby—a cross between a pancake and a souffle . It's crispy on the outside and dense and eggy on the inside."

We enjoyed the sweet and salty dishes. Great place for breakfast .

Two words: Dutch Babies! You can never go wrong with the classic, but the savory is so very delicious!

Lamb shank was good. Salmon special with ramp cream was outstanding

If you don't have a reservation (weekend brunch ), then don't expect to be seated at a table (even with empty tables-galore) - instead, you'll be putting down your name to wait for a spot at the bar .

They have a rotating Benedict menu where you can try many variations on the classic breakfast dish .

A reliably good place to drop by for brunch or dinner before exploring the town . Good, friendly service too...!

An inviting spot where a European vibe meets a contemporary American menu that segues smoothly from baked beans and Dutch babies to house-made pastas , savory tarts and chicken with dumplings . Read more

Great food! Great service! Had their skillet and blueberry pancakes . Was out of the world.

Dutch babies are delicious and really filling

The Dutch baby with lemon and honey was something different

If the baked egg soufflé is on the menu, don't hesitate and just order 2.

had the pork belly Benedict and French toast . so good. make reservations .

Lightly battered and fried squash blossoms were outstanding! They came with a saffron aioli

fabulous dinner , even if it's a "breakfast spot " on 4sq. and if you're here for dinner--get the baked mussels . holy crap.

Best halibut I've ever had. Too bad it's a just special. The pork was excellent too!

The Fry Up and Savory Dutch Baby (pic) are amazing

Best Baked Oysters I’ve ever had...

Great cozy cafe . Great menu and cocktails .

The corn and crab soup was amazing! The vegetable clafouti was interesting... Maybe split it with someone?

Great brunch , but uber-creative Chef Ba Culbert does an amazing dinner as well . Make sure and try dinner here! (via Scoville) Read more

Get the Dutch baby and zeppoles!

The food was good but nothing blew us out of the water. The staff is super friendly and the cocktails look delicious. Not impressed with their overpriced oysters .

The biscuit special may be the best breakfast I've ever had.

More than a breakfast spot ; a nice happy-hour stop for creative, seasonal cocktails .

Wonderfully spicy Bloody Marys . Is getting more popular--go early, sit at the bar . The french press is SUPER DUPER EXTRA STRONG. I love the soup !

Tilikum’s masterful dinners set the bar high, but its brunches equal them in quality and verve—and remain the cafe’s most consistent business. Read more

Baked eggs and the classic Dutch baby.

Try the Chorizo Bennedict Special (via @Foodspotting)

Try the Cucumber Cooler - Super fresh and full of gin !

Savory Dutch Baby was heavenly.

Sardine sandwich may be the best I have ever had. REALLY REALLY GOOD.

In this underpriced, underheralded, and most lived-in of cafes—is rare, getting rarer, and a genuine thrill to discover. Simple as that. Read more

Denise at the bar makes a lip-smackingly fresh whiskey sour .

Classic dutch pancakes ???????????? aka Dutch baby!

The pork pâté was incredible.
