We’re fortunate to have a number of great restaurants and watering holes here on the island.
We both consider ourselves foodies and are pleased to report that the island has the some of the best Sushi, Thai, pub food and even a premier ice creamery. Of course this is purely our opinion, but we believe you’ll agree.
The following is a list of island restaurants with some personal commentary. We also have two off-island suggestions (duly noted).
Please realize that some of these establishments have quirky hours and close early; that’s island life for you—but we’d be delighted to make reservations for you. We can often get you a table or on the list, since we’ve referred lots of guests over the years.
Four Swallows **** For a truly wonderful date place with great Italian food, this is without a doubt the place. It can be a bit expensivedepending on your taste, but it is well worth it. (Pictured above.)

403 Madison Ave S, Bainbridge Isle, WA 98110 - (206) 842-8339
Sawatdy Thai Cuisine **** The location leaves a lot to be desired next to a gas station, but it is only 3-minutes from Ashton Woods. Once inside, the interior is great and the food, probably the best we have sampled in all of Seattle. No joke. Great option for carry out if you want to enjoy a meal in your room.
8780 Fletcher Bay Rd NE, Bainbridge Isle, WA 98110 - (206) 780-2429

Off-Island Options:
Less than 10-minutes and 7.5 miles due-north is a small spot in the heart of Suquamish tribal lands. It’s a small business district with two of our favorite restaurants.
Agate Pass Cafe **** An excellent cafe with outstanding, innovative food that is carefully prepared in decent sized portions ). The menu is original, the wine excellent and the service superb and not too pushy. The focus is on local dishes prepared with lots of local ingredients. It is small with an intimate feel. We really love what these two gals have built. (Pictured above.)
7220 NE Parkway St Suquamish, WA 98392 (360) 930-0911
Bella Luna **** Funky, silly, but always tasty, featuring handmade pizzas, but also great sandwiches and salads. They often have live music this is our dive for a casual dinner. This place also has one tremendous view in the summer located right on the waters edge.
2-doors down from Agate Pass at the end of the cul-de-sac, Suquamish, WA 98392 (360) 598-5398
