Best Restaurants on Downtown Kirkland

25 restaurants analyzed · Kirkland, Seattle

Downtown Kirkland is one of the most appealing dining neighborhoods on Seattle's Eastside, with American, Thai, and Southeast Asian restaurants spread across a walkable lakefront area along Lake Washington. The stretch near Central Way and the waterfront park draws both locals and visitors looking for a meal with a more relaxed pace than downtown Bellevue or Seattle proper. Prices lean toward the higher end, but the setting and the concentration of well-regarded restaurants justify the trip across the lake.
