Review by Annabel Dibbert

September 13, 2024

The Fat Hen is my go-to brunch spot in Seattle! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy and lively, perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

I absolutely loved the Shakshuka - it's so flavorful! The roasted fingerling potatoes were crispy perfection, and I highly recommend the ricotta toast for a delightful treat. ☁️ Don't skip their ginger latte; it's a game-changer!

The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a great experience despite the small space. Just be prepared for a wait - totally worth it! Can't wait to return... 🍽️
