  • Mother’s Day, the Ben Paris Way

    $22.00 per person

    May 11, 2025 only
    This Mother’s Day, Ben Paris is raising a toast—to moms, mother figures, and anyone who deserves a little extra sweetness. Our featured brunch special is a love letter in French toast form: rich brioche bread soaked in cinnamon and almond batter, griddled to golden perfection, and topped with a vibrant raspberry compote, Nutella sauce, and a dreamy swirl of chantilly cream. It’s indulgent, it’s cozy, it’s everything brunch should be—and it’s only available for a limited time. Nestled in the heart of downtown Seattle, just steps from Pike Place Market, Ben Paris offers the perfect setting for celebration: warm hospitality, beautiful light, and a vibe that feels like home (if home had excellent cocktails and next-level brunch). Come raise a glass—and a fork—with us this Mother’s Day. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your table today.

    Overhyped place. Food was mid, service was slow when there barely was anyone in there. Ricotta pancakes tasted undercooked and chalky. Salmon omelette was just alright. Unsure why this place is so hyped up on social media. Skip.

    Our group of four had a delicious meal with lots of sharing. We caught the happy hour menu which was incredibly priced for the quality of drinks and appetizers we enjoyed! What a fun, buzzy, delicious spot!

    Having visited this restaurant multiple times, I’ve had plenty of great past experiences with the food. The staff is usually lovely. My big issue this visit was the quality of the food has diminished drastically. I don’t know if the chefs are new, but the lamb tagliatelle I ordered was a completely different color than it normally is, it was a dark orange and looked very dry as opposed to the creamy pesto-look it usually has. Usually this pasta is very soft but my pasta was hard. The salmon chowder I was served was pretty good, although it was cold. Overall, I will be eating somewhere else for dinner, the price I paid wasn’t worth the quality of food I received. I might give their breakfast menu another shot in the future, but I’ll never have dinner here again.

    Our breakfast was good. The menu was innovative and the server was very kind and helpful. But $80 for two people to have breakfast and regular coffee?! It seemed way overpriced. A true luxury to dine here.

    Servers are inattentive and unprofessional. Appetizers were fine, every one of our four entrees were cooked incorrectly. Duck was super dry and stringy, both steaks were cooked to the incorrect temperature and the pasta was undercooked (like more than al dente). For the prices they charge, you'd think you are getting a quality meal, but this was laughably bad. The server we had was dressed like she was going to spend a night on the couch at home in her lounge clothes and was very bare minimum. We specified that we had a serious allergy within the party on the reservation, to which they replied they would "tell a server when we arrived" but the hostess (who also looked like she was going to have a movie night at home) didn't even notice nor did she care when I brought it up again. I had heard bad things about this place and I should have listened. Don't make the same mistake I did!
    Ben ParisResponded on March 31, 2025
    Hello Erica, We are very disappointed to read about your recent experience with our customer service, and that you did not enjoy your meal. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service, but also on our commitment to making improvements when we don't get it right the first time. If you'll afford us the opportunity to turn this last experience around, Please feel free to contact our Director of Food and Beverage, Evan Hales via private message on OpenTable. We look forward to connecting so that we may arrange another chance to serve you in the near future. Best, The Ben Paris Team
