13 Coins in Downtown Bellevue.
The 1967 Seattle institution brought its high-back booths and all-day breakfast to Bellevue Place in 2015 — the room downtown eats in when it is too early or too late for anywhere else.
13 Coins is the room downtown Bellevue eats in at the odd hours — a big, dark, leather-boothed dining room on the ground floor of Bellevue Place, next to the Hyatt Regency and across Bellevue Way from the Square, where breakfast is served all day, the swiveling captain’s chairs face an open kitchen, and the menu runs to more than a hundred items across the American-Italian map. It is where the hotel guests start the day, where the Collection’s staff end theirs, and where a family of six can sit down without a plan.
The Seattle original dates to 1967 and takes its name from a Peruvian legend about a suitor with thirteen coins; DBN covered the Bellevue plan in July 2014, when 13 Coins took over the Koral space, and the April 2015 opening as a 24-hour room with Kemper Freeman on hand. The around-the-clock service has since given way to long-but-not-endless hours, but the booths, the counter, and the coins set into the tables are the same, and it still shows up on the Collection’s event lists eleven years on.
It is not fine dining and does not pretend to be; it is a reliable, roomy, any-hour kitchen with four private rooms that make it the easiest big-group booking in the Collection. Where it fits is in our guide to the best restaurants in downtown Bellevue.
What to Order at 13 Coins
More than a hundred items, breakfast to steak, all day; these five are the ones that carry the name.
Joe’s Special
The Coins classic scramble — spinach, ground beef, eggs, and Parmesan — served all day since the Seattle original opened in 1967.
Eggs Benedict
House hollandaise and hash browns; billed as the number-one seller on the menu, and available at midnight if that is when breakfast happens.
Chicken Parmigiana ‘The Believer’
Breaded chicken, cream sauce, mozzarella, and spaghettini, on the menu since 1967 — the Italian half of the American-Italian promise.
Steak David
Filet mignon with lobster meat, hollandaise, and spinach — the plate to order from a swiveling captain’s chair at the counter.
13 Coins Cheesecake
Pineapple-graham crust and raspberry coulis. Split it, or do not.

Getting There & When to Go
Bellevue Place is the easiest place in downtown to arrive at any hour, by car or on foot from the hotels.
Getting There & Parking
- Drive: Bellevue Place garage; bring your ticket to the front desk for validation. Weekdays, 3 hours free with validation; evenings and weekends no validation is needed. Lincoln Square’s garage and Bellevue Square’s free garages connect by sky bridge.
- Light rail: 2 Line to Bellevue Downtown Station, then a roughly 12-minute walk west along NE 8th to Bellevue Way — see our light rail guide
- On foot: The restaurant faces Bellevue Way at street level next to the Hyatt Regency entrance. From Bellevue Square, cross at NE 8th or take the sky bridge into Bellevue Place.
Best Times to Go
Weekend brunch is the wait; weekday breakfast is the calm version of the same menu. Late night is the room’s signature — the kitchen runs later than most of downtown, later still on Friday and Saturday. Happy hour runs twice a day. Holiday weekends and hotel-convention weeks fill the booths early.
Make It a Night
You are in the middle of the Collection: pair the meal with a shopping loop through Bellevue Square across the street, a nightcap at Daniel’s Broiler 21 floors up in the same complex, or Snowflake Lane in the holidays, right outside on Bellevue Way.
