Cafe Flora

This is one of only two entirely vegetarian restaurants I know of in the city of Seattle. Cafe Flora is near Madison Park and the Central District. It wasn't our intended restaurant of choice that night, however it more than served its purpose.

Four of us went to dinner without making a reservation for Cafe Flora. There was plenty of parking to be had and also plenty of space inside the restaurant. They gladly seated all of us upon arrival at about 7:00pm without a wait. I ordered the Prix Fixe which consisted of a three course meal for $25. Not too bad in my mind. Entrées were a little steep ranging in price from $15-17 a dish though.

My wife, the only vegetarian in the group, ordered us a wonderful appetizer they call artichoke croquettes. The great croquettes were gone within minutes while we munched on their nice airy bread. My Prix Fixe included a yummy caesar salad for an appetizer, Oaxacan tacos, and crème brûlée . My wife dined on the Oaxacan tacos and gave them a thumbs up as well. Our neighbors/friends seemed to appreciate their food, what they consumed is escaping me also. The desserts were nice and definitely hit the spot.

The service was flawless. I drink a lot of water in restaurants and my glass never got below half full. Our server was hilarious and was able to guess my dessert selection sans a cape or black magic hat.
