The Big Star reopened in April with a new operator. I had ignored it until a friend told me he had the best breakfast ever...pork tamales with green chile sauce and two eggs on top. I had to try it. When I saw chilaquiles on the menu, I had to try them. Superb! Made fresh from scratch, they were the best I have ever eaten and I have spent a lot of time in Mexico searching.
So how is it that a diner on Bainbridge has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten? The owner (very much an anglo) grew up in Mexico City and operated restaurants in San Miguel de Allende.
In addition to 15-20 unique Mexican dishes, the large menu has all the traditional diner favorites. The owner can really cook, so I am sure they are just as tasty.
Big Star is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The two items I mentioned are on the breakfast menu, but you can get them all day.
Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a gift to impress someone, this is the place. Their selection of classy yet quirky items is amazing and the owner and his partner are so friendly. They carry higher end items but there are also a few smaller tickets items for those on a strict budget. Very impressive for sure, a must see.

Used to be great when it was on the south-end, the move to winsow only did bad things for its caliber AND reputation. Now its some Pan-Asian fusion place that's supposed to be refreshingly ecclectic for the often culinarily sterile BI.

If you are gluten-free, they have the best 3 berry muffins yet. Believe me, I have done the hunt. Since I live in Eastern Washington but travel to Winslow every so often, I buy a dozen and freeze them. My friend, who is also gluten-free agrees with me and so does her son, who is gluten-free.

This is clearly the best bakery in town, too bad everyone knows it and the crowds are almost unbearable these days. I recommend one of the many fun, exotic teas with two thick-cut pieces of homemade wheat toast, loaded with yummy butter and locally produced strawberry jam. THe best breakfast for miles. Granola is the best, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. My friend and I even called the bakery one time while we were making granola to ask if we could talk to the baker about his secrets. He totally obliged, and our granola was (almost) as good as Blackbirds. Only on Bainbridge.
Pros: Pastries, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Not enough seating, CROWDS!

This is a very large garden reserve in Bainbridge island, just 45 minutes (ferry plus drive time) from downtown Seattle. The reserve is on an appointment system to control visitor flow so you don't feel crowded once you are in. The place is very nice for a stroll in any season. The Japanese garden is a serene place to be in autumn and the reflection pond is captivating. One cautionary note though, the ground doesn't allow any picnic or eating. So it is better to feed up before you hit the gate.

If you have not been to the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, you are missing out on one of the great Northwest experiences. If you are a gardener you are missing Nirvana!
At this point I have been three times (mid-summer and spring) and each time the private 150 acre reserve with woods, gardens and bird refuge blows me away.
Take the virtual tour (http://www.bloedelreserve.org/text800/mappage/index.html) and see for yourself!
