Three Floors of Water Views in the Heart of Pike Place Market

  • Best Breakfast in Seattle
  • Fresh Northwest Seafood
  • Great Sunset View

Located in the Pike Place Market, Lowell's Restaurant & Bar has been serving the public for close to 100 years. Lowell's has 3 floors of seating and offers world class views of the Olympic Mountains and the Port of Seattle. For those in a rush to get in & out, the 1st and 3rd floors are for you. Order first with the cashier-barista and then find a view seat. Don't worry, our energetic "food-runners" will find you. The 2nd floor "View Lounge" offers traditional sit down table service as well as a full bar selection of cocktails, beers and wine. Lowell's has a great crowd for happy hour from 4pm - 7pm, Monday - Friday. Lowell's is open 7 days a week, beginning at 7am where we offer "The Best Breakfast in Seattle" (WHERE magazine, The New York Times). Afternoon and evening meals are famous in their own right - fresh, Northwest casual fare in a historic setting with unparalleled views.

Editorial Review for Lowell's – by Ben Garrison

In Short
Tourists and locals alike frequent this retro-style diner smack in the middle of Pike Place Market for a bite of Americana with a Seattle twist. A haven from the hubbub outside, the restaurant's unassuming exterior belies the unbeatable views available from three stories of westward-facing windows. Patrons can watch ferries criss-cross Puget Sound against an Olympic Mountain backdrop while munching an omelette stuffed with oyster, salmon or other ingredients fresh from the market.

Yes, this place takes a little energy, but it's worth it for the experience. Order off the menu on the first floor, get your drinks on the first floor and hike up to the third floor for a breath taking expensive view at a quite reasonable price. Food is very good and fresh (duh... you are at the Pike Place Market), wait staff is friendly and prompt, cook is interested in you getting exactly what you want and this is a different location than your average sizzler joint. I had the blackened prime rib sandwhich with fries - blackened is the seasoning and not the burning of the meat and it wasn't too spicy for a half delicate stomach. My friend had the salmon taco which were quite fresh and tasty (second duhh... you're in Seattle and at the Market). Third floor view is outstanding and actually a quiet hideaway but a tad bit hot on a rare 80+ degree day. Good location to take tourists or regular hearty Seattlelites. Another note... there isn't anymore indoor smoking in Washington, so don't fear going up to the third floor and worry about butt air - Seattle is under clean air conditions for dining :-) The only reason why I didn't give it five stars was that you have to go thru additional training to understand how to get your drink and take it up to the 3rd floor.

Pros: View, View, View and Interesting Place to Eat Good Grub

Cons: Need a bit of training to understand the system of getting drinks

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

It was my first time visiting Seattle and we found Lowell's when walking thru Pike Street. We got the Farmer's Breakfast and the famous Eggs Benedict topped with crab. The farmer's breakfast is the same as any breakfast joint but the eggs benedict with crab was phenomenal! We sat on the 3rd floor where it's self-seating (2nd is table service). The view of the water is great being on any of the 3 floors and the bus boys were quick about clearing tables and getting what you needed. The team at Lowell's made you feel like family and that's why we will always come back to Lowell's when visiting Seattle :)

Pros: Great food, quick service, and a great view

Cons: No cons...
