I hadn’t been to the Virginia Inn for a long time. It is still a great place for a bite. They were really busy with a large group, but got us sat pretty quickly and got our food order quickly. We ordered fish and chips and the burger that were both tasty and with good portions.
The burger is made with brisket which was a great addition. The burger was cooked to perfection and had great flavor.
Location is great next to Pike Place and Belltown.
The fish and chips were fantastic, lightly breaded, good portion with the fries and loved the tartar sauce. I loved that they were lightly breaded as they were not too greasy and really flavorful.

Opened in 1903, the Virginia Inn is one of the oldest restaurants in Seattle and even predates the famous Pike Place Market. I stopped in for lunch when exploring the downtown area. The restaurant is beautiful with dark wood and tile floors. I took a seat at the bar and ordered Fish and Chips, which was done in no time. The plate came with two pieces of fish, seasoned French fries, and a small portion of coleslaw. The breading on the fish was good, which was a little different than other places as it was lightly breaded almost like a rub. The fish was ok; a little bland. The slaw was also different, not the typical mayonnaise base, but good. The service was ok.

No crowd on a Thursday at 5pm. We came here because they had gluten free options. Super happy with the fish and chips! It’s a cornmeal type of batter that was more like Southern fried fish, but the fish was of a much higher quality. The house made tartar sauce was the best I’ve ever had!! They have a cute patio and the vibe was laid back. Highly recommend this place.

I had the special Chilaquiles for breakfast. Outstanding! This place is only 3 blocks from Pike Place but nowhere near as crowded. Avoid the lines and have some good food!

Had dinner with the family Friday night recently, late December, and had reservations. We had reservations at 6:30pm but it was not full when we walked in. Take your chances I guess with or without a reservation. The service was good and the food was good as well, but nothing was outstanding…solid would be a good description.

Gumbo soup was unexpected delight. It was so good I almost forgot the pic. Wonderfully thick broth (and gluten free). Well done! Companions all loved their food too.

I LOVE biscuits and gravy but have only ever found a restaurant dish ONCE in the last 12 years that has hit the spot… AND TODAY I FOUND ANOTHER. Absolutely delicious.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Seattle Breakfast Spot!
We had breakfast at Virginia Inn, and it was the perfect way to start our day in Seattle. The atmosphere is warm, historic, and full of charm—like stepping into a cozy piece of the city’s past.
The food was fantastic! We ordered the Eggs Benedict and smoked salmon toast—both beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the portions just right. Coffee was strong and smooth, and the service was friendly and relaxed, making us feel right at home.
Located just a short walk from Pike Place Market, it’s a great spot to sit, enjoy a calm morning, and watch the city wake up. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality breakfast in a classic Seattle setting.

We have walked from The Mayflower Park Hotel to the Seattle Center to the Olympic Sculpture Park down by the water and then back up to eat at Virginia Inn. We both got the Smoked Salmon and Clam Chowder. Very yummy
