The Continental Pastry Shop and Greek Restaurant is known for the dishes we serve and the pastries baked on the premises. Almond baklava, walnut baklava, kataifi, galactoboureko and revani are all made on a daily basis. During the holiday season, George comes in early to bake specialty pastries and breads to be featured for a limited time in our Seattle diner. George insists that only top quality ingredients are used for his pastries and grinds his own almonds to achieve the consistency he demands to make the perfect Revani or Copenhagen.

The Scene – Simple, friendly and airy, this U-District institution has the affable atmosphere of a Greek cafe, with owners George and Helen Lagos and son, Demetre, doting on regulars like family. Save for a few vibrant photos of Greece hanging on the walls, decor is unfussy and utilitarian. Weekdays, students and professors fill the linoleum-tiled dining room with animated conversation, while weekends bring out large groups for brunch with the kids. – – The Food – The Lagos took over in 1974. Quality and consistency remain hallmarks. Breakfast (served all day) comes…

Just like Yiayia used to make

The Continental is a great family-run Seattle institution. They have all the standard dishes one would typically expect from a Greek restaurant, and they are all up to snuff. A great place to go for lunch if you are in the U-District (especially if you have a little time to leisurely enjoy some baklava and Greek coffee after your meal) or even better to go with your family for dinner. They also have a selection of Greek wine and groceries for those who want to bring something home.

delicious!
by leisure_lif3 at Citysearch
my friends and i always come to this place. it's so delicious! the service is always wonderful, and the ambience really does make me feel like i'm in some cafe in greece. the salads, entrees, and wines are great, but their desserts strike people as odd and maybe evne anti climatic until they realize that it's also a bakery. nevertheless, i always go there whenever i'm up in the university district.. and even when i'm not, i make the 20 mile drive to eat at this place!
- Pros: great food, service, value
- Cons: street parking, crowded during 'student hours'

Great food Great prices
by ryynoo at Citysearch
This is a great restaurant if you are more concerned about taste and value than ambience. There is nothing wrong with the facility, it is just simple and that is fine because the food is great. I had gyro's and they were some of the best around.
- Pros: Taste, Value
The Details on Continental Pastry Shop
What to Drink:
It's not on the menu, but ask for Helen's spritzer--a refreshing blend of fresh orange juice and sparking water.
Where to Sit:
You'll get great service anywhere, but large groups are usually more comfortable on the left side of the dining room, while solitary diners will find cozier spots on the right side.
The Extras:
Don't be alarmed if you hear someone speaking German, Italian or French--foreign language speakers meet nightly at the restaurant.
