Located in the heart of Issaquah, just 20 minutes east of Seattle, Gilman Village is more than a retail destination—it’s a thriving local food scene. Every restaurant here is independently owned and committed to showcasing the best of Pacific Northwest flavors. Whether you're enjoying brunch with friends or date night under the stars, each spot offers a unique, handcrafted menu full of local flair and fresh ingredients.
For a warm, upscale dining experience with a relaxed vibe, Flat Iron Grill delivers. Known for its seasonal Northwest-inspired menu, fresh seafood, and perfectly cooked steaks, it’s a go-to for both locals and visitors. Pair your meal with one of their expertly selected wines or craft cocktails for a memorable night out.
If you’re craving comforting Italian classics, Nicolino’s is a gem tucked into the village. From hearty pasta dishes and wood-fired pizzas to house-made desserts, this cozy eatery serves up authentic Italian flavors with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
Sustainability meets sophistication at Well & Table, a farm-to-table restaurant with a rotating menu based on what’s fresh and local. Expect beautifully plated dishes, vegetarian-friendly options, and an excellent wine list. It’s the perfect spot for a thoughtful meal in a modern rustic setting.
A newer addition to Gilman Village, Crumble & Flake is already making waves with its artisan pastries, flaky croissants, and bold coffee. Whether you're stopping by for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, this bakery is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth—or a love for expertly crafted baked goods.
While not a restaurant, it’s worth noting that Gilman Village itself enhances every dining experience with its charming ambiance, restored historic buildings, and locally owned shops. It’s a place where you can dine, stroll, and discover something new every time.
