If you enjoy having breakfast for dinner, or just like good food served with quality and character, visit this retro, nostalgic 50s-style diner and try their breakfast items – at any time you’d like. Luna Park Cafe, whose name pays homage to the famous amusement park that graced West Seattle over a century ago, is a quirky little spot with great menu options, especially their egg dishes, such as the fiesta eggs or eggs Benedict, and their famous milkshakes. Enjoy the unique atmosphere while you munch and listen to your favorite tunes on a jukebox.

Bakery Nouveau

If you’ve booked your itinerary with lots of sightseeing around the city, don’t worry about not having enough time for a delicious breakfast. Bakery Nouveau is the ultimate spot for grab-and-go treats, such as macarons, pastries, quiches, and French breads, which are all served with coffee and various espresso drinks.

Circa provides patrons with some of West Seattle’s best breakfast and brunch dishes, such as their Louisiana eggs Benedict, decadent Hawaiian bread French toast, and butternut squash tacos.

Salty’s on Alki Beach

If you’re looking to celebrate a holiday or special occasion, or just want a luxurious meal surrounded by the beauty of Alki Beach, this is the brunch spot to come to in West Seattle. Salty’s on Alki Beach is an upscale restaurant serving premium, delicious food with gorgeous views of the ocean and Puget Sound.
