Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- While primarily a restaurant, all of the books adorning the walls are for sale. Ask a member of the staff for help.

eggs-cellent!
by meLT at Citysearch
Probably one of our most favorite spots to dine for breakfast/brunch on the weekends in downtown. The omelets are amazing! I've never had omelets cooked so delicate and soft - I guess that's how I'd best describe them. My favorite combo is the roasted chicken, swiss and arugula. AND THE POTATOES!!! (You'll have to try them yourselves to know what I mean!) Plus, the bloody mary's are tasty. The staff is friendly and courteous. It's a great hideaway from the crowded Capitol Hill restaurants - I get tired of the wait sometimes.

Best Brunch Spot in Seattle
by LauraDeller at Citysearch
Library Bistro's brunch menu was diverse and inexpensive. Our waiter was engaging and helpful. Valet parking was only $7.00 and there was a fast return on my car. Overall, it was a very good experience. I'll return for lunch or dinner in the near future."
- Pros: Bloody Marys, Mimosas and Food!!!
- Cons: Downtown location, No buffet

Amazing Brunch, Attentive Service, Hooked for Life!!
by JuanSebas at Citysearch
We loved our experience at the Library Bistro. My girlfriend and I shared the french toast which was life changing. Not kidding. I sometimes wake up with drool spots on my pillow and realize I was dreaming of the caramel sauce and bananas. Mmmmmm....
We also shared an eggs benedict which rivals any I've ever had.
Service was nice and attentive but also not intrusive. We'll be back ASAP!
- Pros: Great Bloody Marys, Fresh and Tasty Food!
- Cons: Downtown, Out of the Way

Stimulating?
by jessicalung at Citysearch
I had such a wonderful time, I felt as though I was in my study. The server had so much personality and the food was simple and exquisite. I was surprised by their combination of flavors and it all went together so nicely. For example, I had a roasted pumpkin soup with fried sage and spiced nuts, I also ended up ordering beets, despite the fact that i don't like beets, I aparently love them when they are done this way.
I also noticed a rediculous and stuck-up guest sitting in the booth next to me and the server kept his cool the whole time and took care of their every stupid request, even when they ordered mac'n cheese with the cheese on the side.
Overall, it was lovley and I would recomend it to anyone.
Did you know you can buy any book in the bistro for $5?
- Pros: Quiet, intimate, aesthetic, delicious
- Cons: Not the fastest, stuffy guests

The Bookstore Bar not only permits the smoking of cigarettes and cigars, but it sells them too.
