Five Columns Greek - Bellingham

Relaxed yet class place. Good family atmosphere, the tree in the center makes a nice setting, and good mediterranean food. The Greek Burger is a really good burger. Baked Spaghetti is recommended too. They have all the Greek classics, spanakopita was my daughter's favorite. I've been to almost all of the restaurants in Bellingham when I visit her, from the burger joints to higher end, this is easily one of the best places in town.

Five columns is my go to neighborhood restaurant when I want to relax. They have such a relaxed vibe and it really feels like a family run restaurant (because it is)! I think that's another thing that I love about it. Soula knows exactly who we are and it's only one of two restaurants in town where you feel welcomed into their space because they remember and know you. I love the ambiance, the color they use in their décor, the giant tree in the middle of the restaurant, and my favorite aspect is how CLEAN it is there. You cannot say that about many places these days. I'm not exaggerating when I say you could probably eat off the floor there. The floor never has any leftover food under the table from the last guests, everything is wiped clean, and you can tell there is a sense of pride in their ownership there. I feel strongly that that feeling transfers into the food a person cooks and that is also apparent at Five Columns. I will add more photos over time, but most recently we went back for breakfast after our dinner there the evening before. I love eggs benedict and theirs has a delightfully fresh hint of lemon in their homemade hollandaise sauce. The hashbrowns are cooked perfectly and portions are generous with all of their meals. My partner had the salmon eggs benedict loved his as well. For dinner, you can't beat the Greek salad here and the saganaki (flaming cheese) dish that they light at the table. The humous is creamy in texture and not dried and pasty like other places. For entrees, we usually order from a few things we love, but I really like their pasta dishes. Don't forget to leave room for Greek desert though because their bogatsa is amazing. It's a cinnamon vanilla custard inside a phyllo dough pocket and a perfectly sized desert to end with. I have to give one last shoutout to the owners at Five Columns because they went above and beyond with a request of mine in the past where they specially made my favorite Greek dish for me pastitsio. It's usually only offered once a year with a special and they made it on a special order for me. Five Columns has very friendly service, good food, relaxing atmosphere, and I highly recommend frequenting their establishment.

My favorite place to eat in Bellingham. Friendly service they make you feel at home. Highly recommended you can’t go wrong with any of the food.

Had something quite different from my norm for breakfast gyro meat, mushroom, tomato, feta omelet. Quite good. Service was excellent. Pleasant smiles from every staff member I encountered. Definitely will return there for lunch or dinner.
