Restaurants in Mercer Island

“Shawn’s bakery is simply the best! Mouthwatering sandwiches, soups and don’t get me started on his pretzel roles. The Artichoke and Pesto sandwich is amazing and the Fig sandwich is over the top! Thank you Shawn for delighting our taste buds.”

“This restaurant is amazing and exactly what Mercer Island needed. We sat at the bar and had exceptional service by our bartender Natalie. We tried and shared several dishes, and all of them were excellent! So flavorful and unique. We started with their orange tofu, which is a take on orange chicken. Absolutely delicious! Even non-tofu fans would love this dish. My dining partner enjoyed the spam Musubi Which was his favorite and he would definitely order this again! I had the seared Ahi tuna, which was done rare to perfect perfection we shared a Korean Banchan salad, which was very flavorful and complex with a great crunch. we finished with the Indonesian style fried rice entrée, and loved the depth of flavor.To top it off, they have incredible and unique cocktails. The owner is very hands-on and came to greet everyone at the restaurant. Such a nice personal touch.Really can’t recommend this place enough and already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Hands down, the best Mexican food in the Seattle area! The flavors are so authentic, and every taco is a perfect harmony of fresh, bold ingredients that you just can’t find anywhere else. This family-owned taco truck goes above and beyond with outstanding service, and you can really feel their passion for sharing true Mexican flavors with the community. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the handmade salsas, every bite is unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Mexican food with heart!”

“Fantastic wine selection paired with lovely charcuterie options. Love going there to see Friday evening music, especially when Chris Stevens is playing!”

“Unique, fun, modern burger joint on Mercer Island. Operates out of a repurposed 76 filling station. Life in the island wouldn’t be the same without Haps! Easy, happy, quick dinner for families. Some solid healthy choices if you’re not feeling burger and fries. Beer on tap. Outdoor seating! All compostable packaging. Quite a bit of parking.”

“We ate at the Bellevue restaurant! We are truck drivers and go all over the country. This is the BEST Pizza we have ever had! We ordered the Agog Primo with roasted garlic. The crust was perfect crispy and light! BRAVO!! 5 Stars”

“Love this cute historical place! Went on a whim after taking our dog to Luther Burbank, they allowed our dog on the patio but call ahead just in case as i don’t think that was the standard. Staff was wonderful!”

“Very friendly workers and establishment. Have never had any issues with this location. Recommend!

Vegetarian options: I get the veggie patty footlongs. They do the job.”

“Delicious sushi!! Modern, bright and clean. We will definitely be back!!”

“Exquisite. Having spent time in the south of France and in Paris I can tell you without a doubt her croissants are equivalent with the Best.
I first met the owner during the pandemic and it was challenging because it was hard to get workers during that period and this is a new business and a very chic little corner shop on Mercer Island. But to see the Joy on the owners face as she prepared the croissants you knew she’d love what she’s doing. She’s been trained by the Best. I believe she said France And it shows. She’s not only an incredible patisserie chef but she’s also an artist because the designs like the Matcha croissant is amazing. It’s Art don’t hesitate. I also like the sandwiches of course you have to get them when they’re incredibly fresh, but I like a good pate sandwich. I haven’t had one since Paris with a fresh banquette.”

“I get $15 Uber eats credits every month. Buys me one bowl of poke. For Mercer island, a place with very few food options, it’s good enough for me to come back :)”

“Dropped by on a Saturday afternoon to quickly grab a coffee, spend some time indoors, use the loo and then leave. Polite staff, clean establishment and really cozy.”

“We love the food at el sombrero, they have the best margaritas in Seattle.”

“Island Pho – Mercer Island’s Hidden Gem for Comforting Pho

If you’re craving a warm, flavorful bowl of pho, Island Pho on Mercer Island is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The star of the show is, without a doubt, the pho. The broth is rich, aromatic, and clearly simmered with care—deep layers of flavor that hit all the right notes. Whether you go for the classic beef combo or the tender brisket, each bowl is packed with generous portions of meat, fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked noodles. The balance is just right—nothing overpowers, and everything comes together beautifully.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the portions are more than satisfying. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back the next day for another bowl. For pho lovers, Island Pho is a comforting, delicious standout on the island.”
