Looking for a Seattle restaurant open on Mondays?
We know it can be a struggle. A lot of Seattle restaurants are closed on Mondays and sometimes Tuesdays as well, as that’s a common (and well-deserved!) rest day in the industry after a busy weekend of service. That doesn’t mean you have to settle for any mediocre eatery that happens to be open—or, worst of all, cook dinner yourself. We went through our list of favorite Seattle restaurants to find the ones that are open on Mondays, so you can make the start of the work week a million times more bearable.
