best breakfast and best service in Pike Place, best Cajun in town

by eepah at Citysearch

Yes, their cajun is amazing, but if you haven't had Chef Chau's breakfasts you are missing out of the BEST of Bayou on First!!! I first came to this restaurant in 2005 on a Sunday morning and immediately made it part of my weekly routine! First name basis is how they prefer to do business, and they're always ready with a smile and a hot cup of coffee. Breakfast faves include the homemade granola and the steelcut oatmeal, but anything you get will be delicious.

  • Pros: great food, good value, excellent service, unique faire
  • Cons: no hope for parking

Pet Friendly, Good Cajun Food, Great Customer Service

by Yvette1985 at Citysearch

My friends, our three mini-dogs and I went to this restaurant for lunch on July 4th.

The waitress is SUPER friendly and patient. After I spilled an entire cup of water, she was very nice in helping us wipe up my mess.

We stayed for about 2 hours eating and chatting and we didn't feel rushed.

The blackened chicken PO-BOYs are good especially with the green tabasco sauce... and the beans and rice were good too.

The food was pretty good, definately above average ( B or maybe B+ ) but with the combination of location (by Pikes Place), the friendly, comfortable, dog friendly atmosphere I give this place an A. I will definately be coming back here for spicey lunch.

  • Pros: Good Price, Dog Friendly, Location, Great Customer Service
  • Cons: The food wasn't as spicey as I thought, but they did have the Tabasco to make up for it.
