Ray’s Cafe

Located upstairs from Ray’s Boathouse, our casual waterfront restaurant and bar shows off the gorgeous Pacific Northwest with sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Enjoy local, fresh seafood and a beautiful sunset on the Ballard waterfront at Seattle’s best seafood restaurant.

Seasonal fresh dishes await including wild Northwest salmon, true cod fish and chips, our signature clam chowder, house-smoked wild salmon, local shellfish and our renowned Pacific Sablefish in Sake Kasu. Order a Ballard microbrew on tap, local and international wines and handcrafted cocktails.

And don’t miss our seasonal Café deck! Located atop the water, it’s the perfect setting to soak up the sun from spring to early fall.
