Seattleite Linnea Gallo and her Italian-born husband Massimo run the Fat Hen, near Delancey in Ballard. The space is small but airy and lovely, with marble-topped cafe tables; they're serving breakfast and lunch and weekend brunch—eggs “in carrozza” (with prosciutto cotto and scamorza), eggs Benedict with superlative hollandaise on house-made English muffins, more—plus dinner on Friday nights. Bock bock!

The Fat Hen

Two of us had lunch there and it was wonderful. The French lentil salad and so unusual and tasty. The homemade breads were a real treat. Can't wait to go back on a Friday night for dinner.

very good food, OK service, overpriced

The two of us had brunch here. The coffee was good, the eggs Benedict were excellent, as were the pastries (Kanellbullar). Quality of ingredients was very high. Service was very slow, even though it was not crowded. The prices were why we will not be back -- it was just too expensive for the relatively small portions and slow service. Not everything needs to be a Denny's grand slam, but this errs too far in the other direction.

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

Linnea and Massimo have created the perfect fit for the Ballard community - family friendly, upbeat and affordable. The remodel they did gives new life to the space - so fresh and comfortable! I'm thrilled to have a new go-to place for a business lunch or spontaneous cup of coffee and pastry with friends. I plan on being a regular!
