About Bar Sur Mer

Bar Sur Mer is a small, Spanish-style restaurant that offers a tapas menu featuring a variety of seafood dishes, including mackerel, Icelandic cod, sardines, anchovies, and octopus. They also serve boeuf tartar and lamb dishes for meat lovers, with the beef tartare presented alongside delicious homemade crackers. The highlight of the menu is the kokotxes (Icelandic cod) plate in an herby sauce. The patatas bravas, a staple in Barcelona restaurants, are good but not exceptional. Creative cocktails are a major attraction, praised as the best in the Seattle vicinity, with expertly crafted concoctions that impress customers. The restaurant also serves a delicious basque cheesecake with yuzu marmalade for dessert.
