Map
Lola opened July 2004, alongside the new Hotel Andra on 4th and Virginia and right across the street from the Dahlia Lounge.
The Greek-inspired menu combines local northwest ingredients with Mediterranean freshness and simplicity. Lola’s customers dine on sizzling ouzo-splashed kebabs, bright-tasting mezze, wood-grilled whole fish, and cumin-spiced lamb. The stylish and modern dining space is decorated with warm earthy colors, hand-painted chandeliers, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The rough-hewn granite bar surrounding a huge wine cask features an inventive cocktail menu and a great wine list including some delicious, hard-to-find Greek wines.
At Lola you can start with a number of spreads to charge your taste buds: Barrel aged minty feta, roasted sweet hot red pepper, cow’s milk yogurt tzatziki, cauliflower~anchovy, Kalamata and Turkish fig or Skordalia ~ garlic spread. They can be ordered separately or all together and they are served with grilled, pita triangles. Seafood, kebabs, roasted fowl or beef and hearty leaf and root vegetables make htis greek inspired bistro a brilliant choice for casual dining in Seattle.
