Portage Bay Cafe in South Lake Union offers a variety of big breakfast plates with large portions, including avocado toast topped with poached eggs. The restaurant is popular and can be quite loud, making it a lively spot for guests. It has friendly and efficient service, with many customers praising the excellent service and the delicious variety of menu options. It's a great brunch spot, and it’s recommended to ask the server for recommendations, especially for out-of-towners. While the café is always crowded, this provides plenty of time to chat with friends while waiting for a most delicious meal. The crab benedict is outstanding, and the oatmeal French toast with the berry bar is noted for its amazing taste. Recent visitors also highlighted the large portions, with one calling the French toast the best ever and praising the fresh berry bar with homemade whipped cream. Service remains wonderful even when busy, though some mentioned it can be frustrating to find out what items are out of stock after ordering multiple dishes. Prices tend to be high, often around $25-30 per person before tax and tip, which some find crazy. The menu does not offer small meal options or sustainable choices, and the check cannot be split three ways. Overall, it’s a popular, lively brunch spot with excellent food and a friendly atmosphere.
