Seattle is nothing short of a foodie haven – there are so many d’lish places to eat that you could spend all your time visiting restaurants and still not get to them all! Of course, we all have our go-to faves, and here are some of mine that were featured in the Wall Street Journal recently.
First, let’s start with Fremont’s Revel. Their urban Korean-inspired menu is uber-creative and delicious to boot. My must-have dish when I visit is their crispy Shrimp Edamame Pancake (sometimes it gets switched up seasonally – but any variety is always faboo) – I like to smear it with their bean paste hot sauce! Other faves are whatever’s on their “meat platter” of the day.
For speakeasy sipping, head to Needle & Thread (just upstairs at Tavern Law) where the bartender will craft you a custom cocktail – just name your spirit and how you like it.
Where do the locals go for fish and chips? Check out Little Chinook’s at the fisherman’s terminal – savor the flavors (and the scenery) as you wander the docks with your food in hand.
From Local 360 in Belltown, I crave the naughty but oh-so-nice molten PB&J Bon Bons served with a shot of farm-fresh milk. The perfect end to a local, sustainable and seriously delicious meal!
For a neighborhood vibe and crazy-good cocktails, stop by Capitol Hill’s Liberty Bar, featuring hand-crafted cocktails, an amazing selection of Japanese whiskies and more Washington micro-distilled spirits than you can shake a muddler at.
But for a cool downtown destination, celebrity chef Michael Mina blends French cuisine with Northwest ingredients and a dash of California flair at RN74 – stop by for a cocktail, a glass of wine or a full-on fab dinner.
If you still find yourself wondering “Where should I eat?”, Seattle’s food maven Keren Brown, the Frantic Foodie, is making it a whole lot easier to decide with her new book, Food Lover’s Guide to Seattle.
Well, those are just a few of my favorite places in this delicious city – now I want to hear some of yours! Cheers! – Kathy
