Best Lunch Restaurants in Renton

"Boasting four locations across the city these breakfast specialists have your brunch needs covered, highlighted by more than a half dozen Benedicts made with everything from smoked salmon to braised pork shoulder, as well as a diverse range of other "favorites" including biscuits topped with a local, foraged mushroom gravy, and a dungeness crab grilled cheese with gouda & spinach pesto, but the best option is probably something from their breakfast Bar, which is basically just a bunch of different kinds of pancakes, French toast, and waffles. How to Order: Call 206.462.6400 for pickup and GrubHub for delivery. Available for Delivery/Takeout"

"website | directions | neighborhoods: 4 locations in Ballard, Roosevelt, U-District, & SLU | best for: brunch with vegetarian options. Portage Bay is loud and often has a wait. You’d think that be enough to deter me, but rather they’ve ended up on my best brunch in Seattle list."

"It's served all day, seven days a week at the Portage Bay Ballard and 65th Street locations. The other spots serve brunch all day on the weekends and until 11:30 a.m."

"Geraldine's Counter Restaurant is a bustling all-day American diner that serves hearty comfort food for breakfast, brunch, and lunch in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Located in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle, the eatery offers a menu of delicious food prepared with locally sourced ingredients from regional artisans, farmers, and producers. The breakfast menu features steel-cut oats with fresh fruit, house-made granola with almonds, dried fruit, coconut and vanilla bean yogurt, French toast, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash, and breakfast sandwiches stacked with scrambled eggs, bacon, arugula, avocado, and hash browns."

"This Columbia City brunch staple is known for their all-day breakfast menu which includes french toast, chicken-fried steak, biscuits and gravy and the famed ''Geraldine's casserole'' with hash browns, sausage, cheese and eggs. Chicken and waffles."

"A post shared by Sonata at Columbia Station (@sonataatcolumbiastation). Geraldine’s serves up breakfast as you remember. Order up their pancakes of the day — toppings change daily."

"Forget farm-to-table and try “trailer park to table.” Fighting the Seattle Freeze with some Southern hospitality, Biscuit Bitch isn’t fancy—which helps it feel more like home. For homemade meals where customers aren’t just served, but taken care of, check out Biscuit Bitch’s delicious locations at Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, and in Belltown."

" as well and I'm so happy that their GF biscuit is just as big as their regular ones. Not the best photos I was in a rush to eat this up lol!"

"Opening up in 1989, this Pike Place Market establishment is one of the older craft breweries in the city — making craft beer “before it was cool.” True to its Seattle heritage, it specializes in sustainability and organic ingredients, mainly brewing English- and American-style beers. The company not only has its flagship pub in Pike Place, but it also opened a brand new restaurant, Tankard and Tun, a seafood restaurant that offers the company’s craft brews and features its own fermentation room. Seattle Magazine named this company the Most Iconic Washington Beer Brand in 2018."

"Since 1989, Pike Brewing Company has been killing the brewing game well before craft beer was even cool. Even now with the rise of breweries in Seattle, Pike still remains popular and for good reason. Some popular beers from their wide selection are definitely the Pike Kilt Lifter and XXXXX from their eight year-round beers and their Pike Honeymoon Suite from the seasonal selection."

"Don’t get Bryn Lumsden twisted: His all-day restaurant in Interbay isn’t the hipsterification of the classic American diner, though the long, marble-esque bar, modern light fixtures, and list of natural wines could suggest otherwise. The man whose Damn the Weather bar in Pioneer Square is one of the city’s coolest watering holes has preserved the romantic elements that make diners great—proletarian menu mainstays like burgers, melts, meatloaf, even rib eye steak—and folded in a contemporary drink program with funky Spanish ciders, a calvados old-fashioned, and, yes, bubbles, too."

"Modern diner and bar — little sister to Damn the Weather"Champagne Diner is so pretty inside, it’s like a dream. You know you’re in a diner here — the long counter with its swivel stools, the color-flecked tabletops, the dove-gray upholstered booths — but you don’t know exactly when or where. This...Mehr"

"Pork belly reubens and omelets silky from a hint of gruyere, with a cocktail menu designed with the same care as the dining room, tucked improbably in an Interbay industrial complex."

"The restaurant provides blankets and offers seasonal soups as well as hot drinks to keep the cold away. Location: 120 Lakeside Avenue, SeattlePhone: 206-707-9730Facebook | Twitter | Instagram"

"Magnolians are wild about their merry trattoria, swathed in the hues of clear skies and rosy sunsets and accented with the homespun sorts of tchotchkes that give restaurants soul. Not that Mondello needed help with soul. Native Sicilians run the place, bringing a background burble of Italian to the house, which, combined with the lingua franca of classic Italian food (housemade pastas and zuppe and meaty secondi), makes Magnolia Village feel like a neighborhood in Palermo."

"Magnolia residents have fallen for this little spot in the village, where owners Corino and Enza have been making hand-made pasta for years. One can usually tell how good a restaurant is by the quality of their simple dishes, and the utterly divine spaghetti carbonara with fresh pancetta is heavenly. View this post on Instagram"

"I love this place's food and mission: you buy a meal, they buy a meal for someone in need of one.” See all Conscious Eatery reviews"

"Chef Eric Rivera’s space in Ballard is more of a laboratory for different dining ideas than a standard restaurant, and that versatility has been on full display during the pandemic. Some of the current to-go offerings include a vegan tasting menu, a hot sauce challenge, and forager-focused treats. There are also plenty of pantry items, available for nationwide shipping."

"Few can match Eric Rivera's hustle: His array of takeout includes tailored at-home menus of fondue or Puerto Rican food, takeout sandwiches and salads, heat-and-eat entrees, even (home) school lunches. Survey the full breadth of it all on the Addo website."

"Restaurateur Michael Mina busted the myth that national names can’t succeed in Seattle (he is from Ellensburg, after all). He did it with a downtown outpost of his erstwhile San Francisco wine restaurant, marrying lovely platings with a vast bottle list that boasts plenty of Washington cred—the “Last Bottle” wine board clacks out updates whenever the cellar’s down to one bottle. When diners decreed it a happy hour destination, RN74 leaned in with a lineup of snacks and booze that feel like an even better deal given the supremely luxe room."

"Locals and visitors alike flock to RN74, Michael Mina's downtown outpost, known for "creative, modern, yet simple interpretations of regional French cuisine"–often presented in the most beautiful manner. In the chic lounge area, visitors enjoy delectable treats like chilled prawn cocktails and duck fat fries. Main dishes include locally-sourced, seasonal highlights like house-aged steaks, vegetables from local organic farms and Puget Sound seafood."

"Topping the list is RN74, which features locally sourced, seasonal fare and an extensive wine list. Located at 1433 Fourth Ave. in the Joshua Green Building, it is the highest-rated upscale French restaurant in Seattle, boasting four stars out of 985 reviews on Yelp. RN74 comes courtesy of the Mina Group, from award-winning chef Michael Mina."

"Enjoy an authentic New Orleans culinary experience at Toulouse Petit Kitchen & Lounge. The big, bold Creole and Cajun flavors coming out of the kitchen keep diners happy and smiling for the entire mea..."

"The 12-year-old Cajun-Creole bistro nestled below Queen Anne opens its doors for all manner of bennies and scrambles at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday."

"Opening a tiny cocktail den months before a pandemic: Not great, Bob. But the takeout menu is great, and the work of Blind Pig Bistro alum Rene Gutierrez. It ranges from "Spanish lunchables" to posole to a gochujang glazed pork collar—and it's woefully incomplete without one of Keith Waldbauer's cocktails."
