Lola is chef Tom Douglas’s Greek-inspired restaurant at the base of Hotel Andra on Fourth Avenue in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Douglas, a James Beard Award winner who helped define Seattle’s modern dining scene, built Lola around Mediterranean cooking and Pacific Northwest ingredients. The weekend brunch has drawn regulars for years.
The dining room has warm wood, deep booths, and an open, lively feel suited to couples and larger groups. The menu centers on Greek staples with local produce and seafood. Expect spreads with warm pita, grilled octopus, and skewered kebabs. At breakfast and brunch, look for Lola’s made-to-order doughnuts served with jam and mascarpone, plus hearty Greek-style egg plates. Regulars often order several spreads and small plates to share before choosing mains.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekend brunch fills up fastest, so reserve ahead or arrive close to opening. Weekday mornings are calmer and work well for hotel guests and business travelers. Douglas’s restaurant group has changed hours and closed several locations since 2020, so check Lola’s current status and schedule directly before you go. The restaurant sits a short walk from Westlake Center, the Westlake light rail and monorail stations, and Pike Place Market. That makes it an easy stop before or after a day downtown. Street parking is limited, so transit or a nearby garage is the simpler option.
