If you’ve ever heard the expression “champagne taste on a beer budget,” you know that sometimes we all desire the finer things in life without the hefty price tag. And on a related note, sometimes it’s fun to enjoy fancy fare in a laid back setting. Recently, the Champagne Diner opened in Seattle, and it’s just as amazing as it sounds.

Champagne Diner opened on August 19th in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood.

Bryn Lumsden, who owns the beloved Seattle bar Damn the Weather, opened the fine dining diner with his partners Jacob Edelstein, Angel Azcarraga, and Adam Mann.

The space is sleek and modern, but it’s not meant to feel pretentious or unwelcoming.

The menu changes regularly, but you’ll always find plenty of classic options like veggie pot pie and fish and chips.

This might taste like your classic diner food, but it certainly won’t look like it.
