Ate lunch here on my last day of a recent trip to Seattle. Their decorations were eclectic, so there was a lot to look at. Service was good, especially considering there was only one staff person visible, but we did wait for any potential lunch rush to be over. I had the beet salad, with lamb added, and it was delicious. The greens were very fresh, the lamb was cooked perfectly, and the other ingredients added a nice mix of flavors. My friend had the gorgonzola panini and was very pleased.

Well, walking around Pioneer Square we casually noticed this spot and thought Mediterranean would be the healthy choice. We were seated right away and a place that looked like it was made for two. This is a family run business and the owner has been here at the restaurant for over 25 years in Seattle. the food was healthy and delicious. We will definitely be back.
walked here on a whim before catching the ferry and it was perfect. Fresh balanced food and tasty desserts. I enjoyed sitting at the window watching the fans make their way to the game.

Food excellent, service not so much. Server unfamiliar with wine list and snarky when asked about varieties. Forgot items that we ordered. But, overall good variety of vegetarian dishes. Would recommend the stuffed grape leaves and falafel.

The atmosphere is inviting and the staff very welcoming and friendly. I did not have to wait long for my order and it was the best lamb I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned in the rice platter. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a great portion and another thing I liked is that the chef asked if I would like freshly squeezed lemonade instead of the limonata I ordered. Nice touch. The dessert was off the menu but deserves a mention. Excellent chocolate cake! Will definitely come back when visiting Seattle.

Stopped by in the afternoon for a quick beer. The pleasant ambiance was evident from the sidewalk and we wanted a calm place to chat over a beverage. They sell cans of Pike IPA for $6. The staff is very helpful and chill. We grabbed a homemade chocolate mousse with raspberries dessert treat to share later in our hotel room—it was delightful!!
My experience at Cafe Paloma in Seattle was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The food was absolutely delicious, with the falafel being a standout highlight. It was incredibly moist and bursting with flavor, making it a real delight for my taste buds. The chicken dish was equally impressive, as it practically melted in my mouth, showcasing the chef's skill in preparing the perfect protein.Cafe Paloma not only left a great impression on my taste buds but also on my overall first night in Seattle. What made this dining experience truly exceptional, though, was the outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable, even taking the time to help me figure out how to use the light rail system in the city. Their warmth and willingness to assist made my evening even more memorable.In summary, Cafe Paloma is a must-visit when in Seattle. The delicious food, particularly the falafel and chicken, combined with the exceptional service, left me with a fantastic first impression of the city. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this charming cafe is sure to provide you with a memorable dining experience that's nothing short of delightful.

What a fantastic meal! The service was highly friendly and attentive at Cafe Paloma, and don't get me started on the food. Everything was delicious and flavorful. We ordered the Meze Platter to taste some of the delicious mezes and each of us got one falafel which rocked our worlds.Pictured here is the Rice Dish with chicken that I would order a million times over!
