Neighborhood gem

MariPili is a James Beard nominated Galician themed tapas bar providing a casual environment for elevated Spanish bar food and homestyle cooking. MariPili is named for chef's aunt and the bar and walls are adorned with Galician art and keepsakes. Estrella Galicia is served on tap and there are a wide variety of tapas options like the pan seared lingcod 'Bacallau a Mariñera' and Spanish classic 'Croquettas de Jamon' as well as our seasonal tasting menu Tapear Tapearei which includes many bite sized courses reflecting a more traditional tapas experience. Honoring the chef's blended heritage, the wine list features a selection from Spain and Washington exclusively.

Exceeded our expectations. Truly exceptional and outshines high quality Tapas in Spain. We are very lucky to have this gem here. Don’t overlook the Spanish croissant. It is next level great. Doubt you will find a dish you don’t love. We had several and they were all very impressive.

Flavorful and sophisticated plates. Nice hip vibe without being overwhelming. The best dessert in Seattle -- torrijas chocolate. The portions are still too small even for tapas plates, though.
