Seattle, WA + Add a trip

Marcus' Martini Heaven

Great place to relax and unwind. Eclectic music, good service, diverse population, excellent martini's.

Romantic dinner destination

Wanting to take your special someone out for a romantic dinner with a view? Try Chez Shea in Pike Place Market. This cozy, romantic restaurant has a fantastic view of the Sound and the Olympics, amazing food and wine, and a quiet, intimate atmosphere.

Best Oysters ever

Had an amazing experience at Elliott's Oyster House. They had over 20 veritials of oysters, all from the West coast and each amazingly fresh and unique. The staff are virtual encyclopedias on the subject of bivalves. Truly an oyster lovers dream spot. Shameless though it is, the URL posted is to my review, but also contains a link to Elliott's.

Lowell's for Breakfast

You might recognize it from a certain film, but Lowell's in the Pike Place Market is a killer breakfast spot. Great view of the water, and the french toast makes me want to get it every morning I'm there.

Best Thai food

Mae Phim on First and Columbia is small hole in the wall - definitely not much too look at, but the lines out the door should tell you there's something special there. The food is the best Thai lunch in town for only $6.00. Order the Mae Phim special with broccoli instead of onions, 3 stars and a Thai iced tea.

Tilth Restaurant

Just delightful. A restaurant staffed and owned by talented young chefs and servers passionate about organic, fresh food of the highest quality. Along with Lark and Sitka & Spruce, just a great place to visit.

Salumi

Cured meat heaven.

Hours: 11am to 4pm, Tuesday through Friday

La Medusa - Sicilian restaurant

Sicilain food is italian food with North African twist. The food was super good and surprising in the flavor combinations. The prices were cheap for the quality. Can't wait to go back!

4857 Rainier Ave S Seattle, WA 98118 (206) 723-2192

Great Sushi

A great little Sushi restaurant hidden on lower Queen Anne.

The owner is "one of the few chefs in the United States trained and licensed to prepare and serve Fugu the delicious and potentially deadly puffer fish."

Best pho in Seattle

Than Brothers on Broadway on Capitol Hill. Not only the best in Seattle, but some of the best pho I've had, period.

Lola - great for sharing!

Lola, one of Tom Douglas' several Seattle favorites, offers wonderful mediterranean food that is great for sharing with a group. Lots of mezze, kebabs, and other little bites, plus hearty tagines that easily feed several mouths.

5 Spot for Breakfast

Try the Rumble in N'Awlins! Delish!

Elliott's Oyster House

Can't speak to the whole menu, but Elliott's is a great place to sit at the bar and order very fresh northwest oysters (N. California to British Columbia). Get there after 3p and check out the progressive oyster happy hour. Oysters on the half shell 50 cents each at 3:00pm, price goes up until 6p.

Mediterranean Kitchen across the lake in Bellevue is amazingly delicious. Must check it out.

Whym Diner is open late and quite tasty. It's on 101 Denny Way.

The Barking Frog in Woodinville. James Beard House and Wine Spectator Award-winning Bobby Moore as Chef. Incredible food!

Sushi: Nishino or Saito. Brunch: Geraldine's Counter or Table 219. Dinner: Tilth, Sitka and Spruce, the Corson Building.

Etta's Seafood. We had a great meal there after arriving in Seattle. The chowder is excellent. Service was friendly and efficient as well.

Marcella's Cookery is a fabulous cajun place. Went there on the recommendation of Sara Ford and loved it. The barbecue shrimp is fantastic!

Tavolata is a trendy and spacious place to have great Italian food!

Umi Sake House is a trendy place to have delicious Sushi!

Cucina De-Ra has closed and been replaced by a Pizza place (I believe from the same owner). The food was pretty good but the speed and service were abominable. I have no plans to return to the replacement.

Love love love this place.. the ultimate chowhound find.. good food, and good value

When I think of the best pizza I've ever had, I think of two places: Pizzeria Baffetto in Rome and Serious Pie. It's that good.

Quinn's in Capitol Hill was our first gastropub in Seattle, and the food is just amazing. Their burger made it on USA Today's list of the 10 best burgers in the country, and rightfully so -- but seriously, you cannot go wrong with anything on their menu.

Speaking of burgers, there's Lunchbox Laboratory. It's a short drive from downtown up to Ballard and well worth it. It's run by a former high-end chef making what he loves, and it has a cult following. Think of incredibly customizable gourmet burgers cooked and served in something barely more than a shack, with friendly people and kitschy decor, and you're getting the idea.

Great food and service!

fresh and good. nothing beats that.

Charmant! And the escagot is sublime!!

A good breakfast and lunch stop, often populated by local musicians.

I have ever been to Serious Pie and Le Pichet.

My wife and I left the long line at Starbucks to get something to eat before our coffee. As we stepped outside we asked each other what the other wanted to eat, a few quick sniffs of the air around us answered that question. We found the source of the lovely aroma 2-doors down at Piroshky Piroshky. We were in Seattle for 3 days, and we ate there every one of them. The dough is buttery and delicious, the fillings are plentiful and flavorful, and the staff couldn't be happier to see each and every one of the patrons walking through their tiny little store front. If you're trolling for food in the market, stop here. Your heart may not thank you, but your tongue will.

Great dim sum! Tarot and ha gow were excellent

Steelhead Diner - Fabulous food. Pretty trendy, medium prices.

Best flapjacks I have ever had. Great place for brunch.

A great atmosphere. Excellent, and HUGE pizzas. Every waiter or waitress I have had there are extremely nice.

• Serving breakfast, lunch, dinner ALL DAY, EVERY DAY 6AM-11 PM!!! • CREPES!!!, sandwiches, omelets, pancakes, brioche buns! • ESPRESSO VIVACE!!!, coffee, tea, smoothies, freshly squeezed juice!

Top French in Seattle, at a price.

Dinette is the most incredible place. We stumbled on it on a Sunday morning and had the most delicious food...duck-fat potatoes, frittatas, smoked salmon toast, a bread pudding that filled a dinner plate. (Luckily, there were three of us!)

If you get a chance, check out Dinette. You'll be back.

Amazing sandwiches for carnivores and vegans alike. Great french fries, cocktails, music.

Coney Island-themed bar featuring a whole room of pinball games, a bar-within a bar (The Trophy Room), video games, outdoor tables, hot dogs (veggie too) and stiff drinks. Pure heaven!

do not sleep on the homemade tagliatelle with white alba truffle butter. absolutely divine. beautiful, spacious, modern/rustic restaurant. great wine, perfect for special occasion or client dinner. one of my most favorite restaurants in the world!

nice place selling southern food.

Great place to relax and unwind. Eclectic music, good service, diverse population, excellent

All of the entrées and appetizers I've tried have been really good, but the gnocchi in particular is out of this world, as are the desserts.

My favorite local coffee shop. :)
