Carmelita is a Northwest treasure. The patio is a lovely environment. The food is delightful, thought-provoking, whimsical... I disagree with the previous review: I thought the pricing and serving sizes were fair and hospitable.
Try the Conde de Valdemar Crianza Tempranillo with the crazy sweet potato entree...
Pros: Wonderfully prepared and presented food; nice wine list; creative touch.
Cons: Parking is a little tricky (on the weekend).

I love Seattle for many reasons. Great veggie food is only one. I have, however, been consistently disappointed with Carmelita. The food is alright. I like a resatuarant that gets a little innovative. Carmelita fits that bill. Yet, the half-dozen times I've eaten there - service has been excruatiatinlgy slow and surly. Once - we waited 20 minutes for the hostess to get off the phone and seat us - acting as though the customers were bothersome. I prefer Cafe Flora. No doubt.

This isn't the place for you if you're looking for boatloads of cheap food on your plate. It is, however, delightful dining for those who appreciate the freshest ingredients prepared and presented in an inventive manner. If you want bulk, I suggest Cafe Flora. If you're interested in something more refined, then I recommend the tantalizing treats at Carmelita's

I'm surprised this one hasn't come up. Carmelita has a garden that is very pretty, the food is innovative, and the atmosphere is calm but trendy. It's a great date place, and if you're having a special celebration (anniversary, birthday, etc) they give you something special.

The service nice, the food delicious. But $29 for ice tea, gnocchi and a lettuce salad is way too pricey. Not a good value, in fact, overpriced!

My second cousin - a fine food connisour - reccomended that my grandmother take us to Carmelita's because we don't eat much meat.
The portions were small, neither my wife or I much cared for our entrees and my grandmother's salad didn't look too promising either.
I guess this could be one of those upscale dining experiences that I'm just not getting.

I also ate well and thought each dish was truly tasty and fantastic looking.

Believe me, you'll never miss the carnage when you go here! I went there with my husband and his two friends from out of town - we were blown away - and they are big, hefty people who usually eat a lot of meat! This is definitely the best food in Seattle...you don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy.
