My boyfriend and I came here for his birthday dinner. What a gem of a restaurant in Magnolia! We sat in the back patio where they had live jazz music playing. We started with cocktails (flaming llama is their spicy version of a pisco sour and an blackberry old fashion) and appetizer, pulpo a la parilla. The octopus ended up being our favorite thing!! Cooked perfectly and the sauces complimented well. For our entrees, we ordered the lamb shank and garlic cream pesto pasta with chicken! *chefs kiss* I will definitely be coming back to try other things on the menu! On top of the great food and drinks, the restaurant had overall great atmosphere. Pink Salt seems to be a local hangout for the Magnolia neighborhood as many people knew each other there. read more

The restaurant is very comfortable, the service was great and the food was delicious. We'll be back!

Manny makes a mean drink. Stopped in a couple weeks back for a digestif, sat at the bar, and wound up having two drinks. Can't speak to the menu yet, but if the food is anywhere near as tasty as the drinks, this place will vault to the top of my must-visit-in-Magnolia list. Update: Visited again recently for drinks and a quick bite. Selected a couple items from their appetizer menu--steak and octopus. In a word: YUM. read more

Beautiful restaurant! Love the Himalayan salt theme going on! Food was delicious and loved my cute pisco sour! Quick, friendly service! Would definitely return! read more

I came here with my partner on Valentines Day. They offered a course meal for $85 per person, where you pick one thing each from 3 categories: Appetizer, Entree, Dessert. You order everything in the very beginning. The food was phenomenal. The Arroz Con Mariscos had the perfect balance of rice, vegetables, and seafood; they absolutely did NOT skimp on the seafood portions. I had enough to take home for another decent meal. Super pleased. Unfortunately, our server basically forgot about us after our entree. She brought spoons to our table for dessert and we sat there for around 45 minutes waiting for dessert. We eventually flagged her over after a table behind who was sat 30 minutes after we got there got their dessert first. She then told us that our dessert wasn't coming out because they ran out and we needed to pick other options... even though we ordered everything in the beginning. I understand sh*t happens but where was the communication? Why were we not told this until we flagged her down...? And then she told us that she didn't forget about us, because she was "figuring it out". Ma'am. I'm a server and I KNOW that you forgot about us, you didn't check in or even look at our table once when you were walking by for 45 minutes. We're all human and I know things happen but accountability is so much better than a lie. She then brought out the wrong dessert for me. I flagged her over again and asked for the one I ordered. She told me that she could "put passion fruit on top if you want." So bizarre. I had ordered a passionfruit flan. I had to justify this request by saying I do not like the texture of coconut shavings (she brought out coconut flan). My partner got the cookie things... don't get those. Super dry. TLDR: amazing food. Service went downhill extremely quickly. The price point was not worth the service. read more

I have been here twice now. And since April of 2024, I've been dreaming when I can have this dish again. It is mouthwatering and filled with flavor. Food was hot the entire meal. I am normally not a pesto person and claim I don't like mushrooms, THIS WAS A GAME CHANGER. I'm new to eating Octopus,but this was also a great dish. Service has been great both times I have gone. Love the ambiance. Definitely on my must go to stops when coming to Washington. read more

We came here on the last day for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) to celebrate a friend's birthday. Our party of four were given regular menus. When I asked about the SRW menu we were was told that it was invalid on Saturdays but there was no mention of this anywhere. If I had known earlier then we would have dined elsewhere honoring the event. We stayed and thought we'd try it out. Our food was presented beautifully but quality lacked. I barely had any seafood in my arroz con mariscos, it was mostly rice. The only mussel I had was cracked with nothing in it. The dish tasted bland. The lomo saltado was good and so was the grilled octopus but on the small side. My son had the fish and chips from the kids menu. The fish was dry and some of his fries were burnt. Overall disappointing experience since the birthday celebrant was not acknowledged when indicated on our Open Table reservation. Too many misses to not warrant a return. read more

Always amazing. Pink salt serves up great ambiance, nice servers, bartenders always friendly and the food is delicious! Served hot and fresh with lots of flavor. The pasta dish is great. Also recommend the coconut prawns and the yucca. Great drinks. Great food. Great service. Great ambience. Really can't go wrong. Free parking all around no meters. The joy of magnolia. Head to pink salt for a great meal. read more

Ok the last few days of actual summer, the weather became immediately cold and it finally rained. But I was determined to go to Pink Salt to fulfill my desire for Peruvian food. There is a outdoor patio which was cute. But due to the rain and the cold, I had to go inside. The ambience is great for a date (that low-medium lighting). There is a fireplace in one section. I can see it being romantic spot. I came after 7 so I missed happy hour but I was excited to try some dishes. They have QR codes on the tables. I would note that there were more items on their QR code menu than on their general website so you might have to reassess what you want to order. I was given corn nuts while I waited Because I had a bite to eat in advance, I couldn't eat as much as I would. I did get a pork belly slider, ceviche nikkei and I took a dessert to go (cheesecake with passion fruit/maracuyá sauce). It was really good! I definitely felt full after my experience. Shoutout to my waiter who was very sweet and made me laugh. I will definitely come back especially a) early enough for happy hour and b) early enough to get natural light to take better photos of the food read more

Pink Salt is a very cool restaurant with a classy feel. We had a reservation for Seattle Restaurant Week, and I'm surprised it wasn't busier! The service was great too. This was my first time trying Peruvian food and it did not disappoint. The papas a la huancaína were so good, and the sauce was unlike anything I've had before. The tallarines with pesto were light and fresh. The coconut flan was also really good, I had wanted the passionfruit flan but they ran out so I opted for coconut instead and it was delicious. My only complaint is that the portions are on the smaller side, but that wouldn't deter me from returning. read more

This small, cozy Magnolia venue is the perfect date night destination. Romantic low-light atmosphere, expert service, delicious food. A small restaurant with a nice fireplace and table or bar seating, with the kitchen visible. The lamb shank (Cordero Pachamanquero) was hearty and rich with potatoes and yam and a thick gravy. The Pesto Risotto with Tenderloin was flavorful and satisfying, nicely seasoned. With no drinks or dessert we paid $45 each. read more

I am not familiar with Peruvian food so may not be appreciating this place properly but was an overall 3.5* for me. Tried Seattle Restaurant Week lunch here and found mild Peruvian influences.

Truly a hidden gem! The decor and lighting were super cute and atmospheric, and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the lomo saltado and the arroz con mariscos -- the second was quite possibly one of my favorite things I've ever eaten in my life. We also had some traditional cocktails with it; super yummy! Plenty of street parking around too, and in a cozy corner of Magnolia. Would absolutely go back again. read more

LOVED LOVED LOVED this place! We were in town for the weekend and found this GEM on Yelp. This restaurant was so cute with a touch of Peru. The service was great. The staff was friendly and willing to accommodate. Our waiter made sure we we're taken care of at all times. Everything we ordered had so much flavor. All the dishes had a beautiful presentation and met expectations. The ceviche tasted fresh. It had the perfect amount of salt, fish was cooked with the right amount of lime. We can't wait revisit this place. Highly recommend! read more

We went here for a date night. Overall vibe and decor was nice. They had complementary corn nuts which was unique and a nice surprise to snack on initially. The food portion sizes were good. I had the pesto pasta with chicken, which was ok, but not quite enough for 5 stars. The passion fruit flan reminded us of cheesecake more than flan, still tasted good, but a little strange on the texture. read more

This space is adorable. There was a lot of thought put into the decor. The servers were friendly and attentive enough. The food is...well, not great. The starters were marginal. The coconut prawns were dripping with oil, making them inedible. Despite one bite being taken out of exactly 1 prawn out of the entire appetizer, there was no inquiry from the server as to how the food was. I was there celebrating a birthday, it felt awkward to complain. The risotto was just ok. Stodgy. The steak was cooked well, but not well enough to come back to this place. It was expensive...that is not my issue, the food quality/preparation should have reflected the prices. The cocktails were good, and the highlight of the meal. Disappointing. It seems like there are a lot of positive reviews, maybe it was just an off night? read more

First time visiting this evening, and we were underwhelmed. The prawns were so greasy they were inedible. There was something in the salad that made my tongue swell up, and by the time we got home everyone had a stomach ache. Won't be returning. read more

I love their grilled octopus and Pisco Sour, especially the spicy one. The yuka fritas were a bit thick and not as crunchy as they should be. The ceviche was ok but I prefer the one at the place in Lynwood. Service attentive and ambiance nice. If your in the neighborhood, with a visit. read more

Best restaurant experience in Seattle. If I wasn't so full I would have kept eating. I think we tried about half the menu and frankly if I had visited earlier in my trip o probably would have asked to go again but unfortunately we only tried this place the night we left . Next time! The ceviche was amazing! Pisco sour was delicious and they made the cutest little lama in the foam! The other dish that blew our minds were the pork fried rice (truth be told I gave me friend a hard time for ordering this because I thought it was just going to be a meh plain dish) I was SO WRONG. This was the best fried rice I've ever tasted. So flavorful! The octopus was also amazing. I forgot what the green dish with the egg in it was called. That was my least favorite but my friend liked it. You should definitely check this place out if you find yourself in the Seattle area! read more

Peruvian inspired restaurant in the Magnolia neighborhood. It has date night vibes with fantastic food, including very fresh ceviche and an excellent lamb shank. These aren't traditional Peruvian dishes per say, but still give you a really good idea of the flavors you would find in Peruvian dishes. Lamb shank with a demi glace sauce and fingerling potatoes- it is huge and delicious Pan seared Sea bass over saffron risotto- risotto definitely isn't traditional, but there is a lot of seafood in Peruvian cooking Ceviche neikki - yellow fin tuna with Avocado, soy, and citrus marinade. So fresh and well balanced with crunchy, acid, and creaminess from the Avocado read more

Food and drinks were amazing! Plating was beautiful and staff was friendly. Loved the ambiance of the restaurant, cool lighting and decor

Yum! Good Peruvian food graces this cute Magnolia neighborhood! I was visiting a friend who lives in the neighborhood and was so excited to finally grab takeout from this well-rated establishment. I phoned in the order on the drive over and it was ready when I arrived 25 minutes later. The food was unique, fresh, and delicious! There weren't a ton of options for this pescatarian but I was still able to enjoy a stuffed appetizer that was very satisfying. Everyone else who ordered meat entrees loved their order so we were all around happy campers! I hope they'll expand their menu to accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians more in the future as it will be my go to restaurant when I'm in Magnolia! read more

We dined here while staying at an Airbnb nearby. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance and warm, inviting decor. We're not familiar with Peruvian food but we love pasta and Pink Salt does it well. I opted for the Tallarin Con Pollo, while hubby chose the Tallarines Huancaina Con Lomo. Both dishes were excellent--flavorful and delicious. Hubby's tenderloin was cooked perfectly and my chicken was succulent. Their pasta is handmade and oh, so delectable. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We will surely eat here again the next time we visit the area. read more

Romantic setting and authentic tasting Peruvian food sets a seductive mood. This is the most upscale Peruvian restaurant I've found in Seattle (let me know if you have other Peruvian favorites - I'm familiar with don luchos & senor carbon but would love to find a pollo Al a brasa shop). I really enjoyed the pisco sour cocktails here as they tasted authentic to the recipe I'm familiar with learning in Peru. I'm really glad to see Pink Salt in Magnolia and look forward to returning for more delicious food and great service. I highly recommend ceviche Clasico for a genuine Peruvian flavor experience. My only suggestion to management is to offer this ceviche with pulpo. read more

Love the ambiance and the servers were really awesome. Really delicious food. Great for a date or dinner and drinks with the girls!

I'm so happy I finally popped by Pink Salt in Magnolia. They have a lovely outdoor dining set up with some perfect Italian background music- covered and heated for chilly evenings. Our water came with Cancha to snack on- they're the perfect little salty nibble to tide you over while browsing the menu. We went with the Ceviche Clasico to start. It's made with rock fish and leche de tigre. A nice fiery bite combined with the creaminess of the sweet potato. Exquisite! We also had to try the Causa de Cangrejo which was a composed salad of whipped potato and Dungeness crab. It was a perfect balance between the crab and potato. It felt luxurious and traditional all at once, which is hard to pull off. Hat tip to the chef! For our mains we shared the Estofado de Pollo which was a tomato based stew with chicken thighs. You could taste the smokiness of the grill on the chicken. It was fab. We also had a very tadtional dish, the Aji de Gallina, which was pulled chicken in a creamy aji amarillo sauce. That was my favorite dish of the meal (though it was hard to choose) because it felt homey, traditional and elegant all at once. Perfectly tender and wonderfully seasoned. I'm in love. Finish with the alfajores, that's an order. Maybe it's because I've been craving shortbread lately or more likely because these were the best Alfajores I've ever had (I've been to Buenos Aires... these were better ). They are absolute perfection with a bit of coffee to end the meal. The shortbread just melts in your mouth. We had an amazing meal, the ambiance is perfect, the service was so kind. I'm so excited to go back again and again to run the menu. Support this restaurant (and all of the other independent, family run places around town)! read more

Pink Salt Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great spot for a date night. We went on a Thursday around 7:30 and there was live music (singer). Food was really good. I had the risotto with cod. Tasted amazing. Serving was huge (yay leftovers) and the risotto was piping hot. Service was prompt and attentive. Everything came out quickly. Overall had a great time and will be back. Vibe was little old school but it's nice and you can tell everything is done with a lot of care. I looked at some of the recent negative reviews and they're a little silly. One person complained about going to dinner on Valentine's and there being a prefix menu? That's just standard. Anyways check it out for yourself. read more

Very cute interior at this Peruvian spot in Magnolia neighborhood. I went in on a Friday night with my friend and made a reservation. The place wasn't packed at the "lounge" side of the restaurant, so I almost think a reservation wasn't necessary, but glad I made it anyways. The menu was pretty small, and after hearing from our server it ends up there is 5-7 dishes that are "specials" but no where to be listed on the menu. It's a little strange to me as the menu should be updated to correctly portray all the offerings, and I feel like there is usually 1-2 specials offered. Our server also felt scattered from the time we sat down, and even went missing a couple of times and we couldn't track her down for a while. To eat, my friend and I shared family style - we started with Pisco sours, which I agree with other yelpers that the cocktails were too small for the price. The taste of the Pisco sour was delicious though! For food, we got the: Ceviche Clásico: this was one of the most delicious ceviche I have had in a while, and was packed with mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari and scallops. The citrus marinade was everything! I felt like the choclo & sweet potato were unecessary in the dish. Maybe some bread to soak up the juices would of been good. Solterito con wontones (mushroom wontons): These tasted great, but the presentation was terrible. The wontons were not wontons at all, and were limp looking. The side salad it came with complimented the mushrooms nicely. Arroz con Mariscos: this was one of our favorite dishes of the night, and had tons of seafood in it. The portion was okay, but certainly on the smaller side for the price. The seasoning and taste was on point. Chocolate Truffle: their local chocolate truffles weren't on their dessert menu, and offerings change daily for what they have available. We were really excited about some of the offerings, but many of them were unavailable during our visit, so we stuck with a basic chocolate. The truffle itself is fine, but I wish there was more unique peruvian desserts on the menu. Overall, I would love to come back again, but the portion size for price is one thing that gets me. The food is no doubt tasty and the ambiance nice. The "pink salt" wall is a very cool aesthetic at the bar. Check this spot out if you are in the area. read more

Visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday. My partner and I had lunch on the patio and enjoyed the best lunch. The day was hot but the mostly covered patio, refreshing cocktails and our attentive server Manny making sure we were plenty hydrated, made the afternoon perfect.
