Description

Copine is an American/New American restaurant in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood.[3] The restaurant opened in July 2016.[2] The restaurant's founders, Shaun McCrain and Jill Kinney, searched for a location to open the restaurant for more than a year.[2] Before founding Copine, McCrain worked for Per Se.[4] McCrain and Kinney worked at Seattle restaurant Book Bindery before departing; Book Bindery closed after their departure.[2][5]

In December 2025, Copine announced plans to close permanently in May 2026.[6]

Reception

Condé Nast Traveler recommends, "Pick another spot for that calamitous catch-up with the old high school crew, and save Copine for a quiet date, a strategy session with your business partner, or a big night out with mom and dad."[7] In 2022, Aimee Rizzo included Copine in The Infatuation's overviews of Seattle's best takeout eateries and Ballard's best restaurants.[8][9] In 2023, the restaurant was a semifinalist in the James Beard Foundation Award's Outstanding Restaurant category.[10]
