About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Innovative
MariPili is a James Beard nominated Galician themed tapas bar providing a casual environment for elevated Spanish bar food and homestyle cooking. MariPili is named for chef's aunt and the bar and walls are adorned with Galician art and keepsakes. Estrella Galicia is served on tap and there are a wide variety of tapas options like the pan seared lingcod 'Bacallau a Mariñera' and Spanish classic 'Croquettas de Jamon' as well as our seasonal tasting menu Tapear Tapearei which includes many bite sized courses reflecting a more traditional tapas experience. Honoring the chef's blended heritage, the wine list features a selection from Spain and Washington exclusively.

    We sat at the bar. Great food great service. Front room has tables and nice bar, also a larger back room. Either makes a good experience. We took an Uber, not within walking even though not far. They know their food, wine and cocktails.

    Ordered Seattle Restaurant week prefixed, which included five courses and was $65 for the meal and $35 for the alcohol pairing. Food was in smaller portions than expected, but the dishes were prepared with thought and intention. Each dish was flavorful and enjoyable. The chef nailed it with this menu. Alcoholic pairing was good value for the $35 cost. While the dishes tasted excellent; there wasn’t enough food and our group left hungry. This led to us walking to get food elsewhere, which wasn’t expected with a $65 coursed menu.

    Service was quite slow, we only ordered a few dishes and somehow it took 2.5 hours for everything to come out. Food was ok - nothing I feel like I would come back for. I remember it being better when I was there a year ago.
