We had yet another superb brunch yesterday morning at Monsoon, the high-end Vietnamese restaurant in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, but this time we had Chloe with us. Dogs are welcome on the patio in front of the restaurant — our server brought her a chef’s prep pan of water, along with our beverages — and it’s a comfortable spot for man and beast.

The brunch menu includes both Vietnamese options (congee with tasty toppings, dim sum, and more elaborate entrées like vermicelli noodles with grilled shrimp & crispy vegetable roll) and Western options (two examples: organic eggs benedict with dungeness crab, wokked chili garlic bok choy & crispy potatoes; and brioche french toast with grilled pineapple, candied peanuts & creme fraiche). Everything we’ve eaten there has been delicious, and the service is attentive and friendly.
