• Everyone Loves It, Must Try for Out-of-Towners

Yes, the hype is real! Truth! Everyone keeps talking about the wonderful food at No Bones — and they are right! The feed on the Vegan City Seattle Facebook group is filled with pictures of No Bones meals and gleeful comments. The popularity is warranted. We went to check this out for dinner (busy even on a Tuesday night) and will definitely be back for more drinks, appetizers and to check out the brunch (Sat. and Sun.) everyone's raving about. Update: We've been back for brunch and with friends. The drinks are amazing. I thought nothing could compete with their coconut mojito but their margarita and drink specials like the lychee martini give it a run... I wasn't sure how I felt about a DJ at Saturday breakfast, but the music was great, fun. Love this place. Want to try everything on the menu and getting close... The menu shows great care. The entrees we tried — buffalo tofu salad and sweet pineapple and soy curl sizzling lettuce wraps — were tasty, appealing and interesting. Since we had a gift certificate (No Bones supported a local feminist event for reproductive rights -- how cool is that?!) we splurged on drinks and dessert as well. The coconut mojito and hula pie (macadamia nut ice cream pie with a cookie crust) were extreme delish treats. Next time(s), we'll bring a couple of friends along to share the joy. A lot of care has gone into the atmosphere as well — the tiki bar, beach club theme is fun and makes it a unique destination and dining out experience. This place made us feel like we were on a mini-vacation. Can't wait to try it in summer! It's conveniently located off NW Market Street in Ballard. If you are visiting Seattle this is a must stop perhaps on your way to the Ballard Locks and Discovery and Golden Gardens parks. Did I mention we'll be back to try all the things? The cauliflower wings, eggplant fries, bear battered avocado tacos, volcano roll and jackfruit flautas etc. etc. are much touted. Notable: The owners are working with vegan dessert makers Seattle Cookie Counter (the hula pie) and Brown Sugar Bakery on a rotating menu of sweets so there will be more to try. Do ask what's on the dessert menu. The owners have been supporting the community and the animals for some time. My first experience with their eats (from their food truck days) was at the New Moon Goat Sanctuary fundraiser. Go and enjoy!
