Menu
Operating near the scenic shores of Lake Sammamish, Coho Cafe acts as a fundamental pillar of Pacific Northwest cuisine in the region. This is the suburban dining ideal: an establishment fully capable of hosting a casual family brunch or executing a sophisticated, multi-course seafood dinner with equal aplomb.
All-Day Dining
Coho’s expansive, highly versatile menu transitions seamlessly throughout the day. Morning brings a robust “Hiker’s Breakfast” ($12) — perfect fuel before tackling the trails — alongside local wild rice sausage gravy with biscuits ($15) and a Lake Superior Scramble ($12).
Seafood Mastery
As the day progresses, the menu pivots to showcase the kitchen’s seafood expertise. The Seafood Bisque — containing sweet red crab, bay shrimp, and lingcod in a sherry cream reduction — is deeply satisfying. The Dungeness Crab & Wasabi-Avocado Tower is a visually striking signature that showcases both technique and presentation. The cornmeal-crusted Walleye ($26) with house-made tartar is another highlight, alongside Pork Marsala ($24) and Shrimp Scampi ($23).
The Setting
The Lake Sammamish proximity gives Coho a setting that most restaurants can only dream of. It’s a place where the scenery enhances the meal, and the kitchen honors the landscape through its sourcing and preparations.
