The Black Cat

Rebecca Chen

Super cute restaurant with tons of cat-themed decor, in a lovely historic building. I came by myself around noon for Sunday brunch, and there was no wait to sit at the bar. I got the crab cake benedict, which was delicious: the crab cakes were flavorful, the eggs were perfectly poached, and the sauce was rich with just a bit of a spicy kick.

Beautifully designed, very good food and friendly staff. A great place to dine in Bellingham. We'll remember our dinner fondly...

The Black Cat is my new favorite brunch spot! Come in Sundays until 3 for a brunch with a view and some incredible cocktails (I had the bloody Mary with clamato juice, just perfect)! To eat, I enjoyed the Croque Monsieur, and my guest, the crab Benedict which they enjoyed thoroughly. The Croque Monsieur was fantastic, the ham was sliced thick and was of superb quality, the bread (sourdough) was flavorful and stood up to the bechamel sauce, and the egg wasn't too runny, absolutely spot on! The fries, served underneath, were perfectly crispy, too. It did take quite a while to get our food, but luckily my guest and I had lots of catching up to do! I've only been to The Black Cat once before and enjoyed the fondue. I will say the cheese was great, flavor wise and in consistency, but found it odd that the broccoli was cold and the apples were room temp. I'd rather them the other way around. Other than that, both experiences have been delightful, great service, beautiful location, absolutely would recommend!

My partner took me out here and I have to say the ambiance is spectacular- with nice window seating overlooking the beautiful Fairhaven district and woody tones throughout the restaurant. The food is absolutely immaculate, I had the crab pasta- the perfect combination of flavor crunch and texture.. My partner had the Alaskan salmon with brussel sprouts and I stole a brussel sprout off their plate oh my god I've never had a sprout so light, crispy, almost like a puff- in my life. We split the fish and chips, the batter surrounding the cod was light, buttery, crispy, and the fish was perfectly cooked. These people seriously got some wizards in the kitchen. 11/10
