The Walrus and the Carpenter

The restored Kolstrand building on the south end of Ballard Avenue, is the perfect home for this rustic, light-filled, oyster haven. Opened in 2010, The Walrus and The Carpenter marries restaurant to fishing pub. Tallboys, muscadet, piles of chubby oysters and smart plates are served in a lively, approachable space in Old Ballard. We are open for indoor and outdoor patio dining. Due to the intimate nature of our dining room and to ensure all guests have a chance to visit, we host guests on a first come, first served basis.
