Daphnes in Edmonds

My sister took me out this past Friday night to Daphnes in Edmonds, WA. It is a one room bar with two booths and four stools. Although tiny, it packs quite a punch both in menu and personality.



Upon exiting your car, you can hear the big band music wafting out into the night air. If you are to linger outside, peering in to see if there is any room for you, you are greeted by all inside chanting "Come on in!". Even if all the spots are taken, someone will scoot over and invite you to share their seat.

Desmond is an amazing bartender and personality. He skillfully pours or prepares your order, delivering it with a big smile and inviting South African accent.




My sister and I were invited to share a bread, meat and cheese platter with our new friends and booth mates. Thank you to Allison and Adam. The bread was fresh, crusty and warm. The cheeses and salumi were great too. We drank wine and tried the house specialty drink, the French 57, a beautiful drink tasting of orange blossoms and packing quite an alcohol punch.

You just can't go wrong with this spot. The clientele and staff are super fun. The menu is great. I will likely be back soon and often. If you're in the area make it a priority.

Thanks to Desmond and Daphnes for a great night. Daphnes website
