Good Voyage — Restaurant in Seattle

Not cheap, but absolutely worth it. I came to Good Voyage planning to work solo at the bar, but was instantly welcomed and included—by the staff and the kind of patrons who made me feel cooler than I actually am.

I am terrible with names, so they could be wrong. Sienna poured two sherries so good I didn’t want to them to end. Max, the chef, served the best halibut I’ve ever eaten—tender, perfectly cooked, in a perfect beurre blanc. The side of giant beans with olive oil, lemon zest, and sea salt? Magic. One of the staff (I wish I remembered her name) offered me a bite of the most odd roasted cauliflower I’ve ever seen, and somehow it was delicious.

A regular shared his cider with me—from a strange Spanish carafe called a porrón. That’s the kind of place this is. The staff clearly loves what they do and genuinely enjoy each other, and welcome you into their bubble.

Of course the wine I had was perfect. I believe they are sister establishments with the killer Left Bank Wines.

They host a monthly oyster dinner I’ll definitely be back for.

So glad they reopened after the fire—Good Voyage is part of what makes South Park...

Our dinner at Good Voyage was one of the best restaurant experiences my partner and I have had this decade. The sophisticated yet unpretentious atmosphere blends with impeccable food and drink to create the perfect date, celebration, or random Thursday spot. You deserve this!

At the beginning of the meal, we were wondering whether we'd ever had better fries. The answer was no. By the time we finished sharing the salted cheese tart, we wondered whether this was our favorite restaurant. The answer was yes (outside of France). In between, we were absolutely bowled over by the gigante beans, the chicory salad, and the duck breast.

Everything tasted great on its own, everything tasted great alongside everything else, and the wines on offer provided sterling accompaniment. I can't recommend the dinner service at Good Voyage enough - but don't sleep on their breakfast and...

We feel so lucky to live around the corner from this gem. 💎The team thought of everything. The food is stellar. I fantasize daily about the coq au vin, frites, cheese tart, galletes, breakfast sammy with the hot honey add on (I mean all of the food, really). Great coffee game, love an espresso tonic. I could drink the classic daiquiri all day (but I do have some self control). Of course the wine selection is on point (and then you can go grab an amazing selection for home from Left Bank just next door). The renovation and decor, the bathroom mural, make it even more fun and cozy. Service is friendly and personable. You can make it whatever you want almost any time of day. 💗(also, hot tip… if you have laundry you need to do, there is a laundromat...
