Portage Bay Café offers a vibrant brunch scene with varied reviews. Diners rave about the friendly service and enjoyable atmosphere, with popular dishes like the Bananas Foster French Toast and savory French toast standing out for their deliciousness.

Great place to visit for lunch after Nordic museum or Ballard locks, located right between those two. View all feedback.
