1. Matt's In The Market
I heart Matt's In The Market. A foodies food heaven. They do Northwest and modern fusion like they invented it. If you've wondered what 'slow' food is look no further: this is the place to sample locally grown and in season delights all…More »
2. R&L Home of Good Bar-B-Q
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 322-0271
Category:
Barbeque
Neighbourhood: Central District
This is one of those restaurants without a lot of pretention. Just damn good BBQ. Have I tasted better BBQ in my life, yes perhaps. In Seattle? Nope.
The pulled pork and the ribs are my favorite- perfectly tangy and spicy sauce and meat so tender…More »
3. Easy Street Records and Café
Seattle, WA 98116
(206) 938-3279
Categories:
Music & DVDs,
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: West Seattle
Went in to grab my hungry toddler a grilled cheese sammy- totally easy (pun intended) to just walk up to the bar, order from the friendly barista / take out gal, AND get charged hardly anything for an off-menu item. And it was served up hot,…More »

Oh Easy Street Cafe - you make West 5 look like a pretentious pretender to the throne of casual… Read more »
4. Crave - CLOSED
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 388-0526
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Consistently one of my favorite places in Seattle and I have had some damn fine meals here... It reminds me of the ubiquitous dinner and lunch bistros on nearly every corner of every arrondisement in Paris. Low key, nice feel, good local gourmet…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
It's the morning after. Yes, THAT kind of morning after. Your hair is mussy, your lips are bruised but you are happy and all aglow in that unique morning after kind of way. You and your sweetie want to go to breakfast... in the breakfast…More »

Neighbourhood: Queen Anne
Boyfriend treated me to Valentine's Day dinner here and somehow I (who will normally avail myself of ANY opportunity to get fancy) showed up in jeans and a hoodie (albeit my flirty puffed sleeve hoodie, and accompanied by my saucy red high heeled…More »
7. Tilth
My company held a "Green Games" 4 week competition and a company dinner at Tilth was our prize for reaching a certain level of points. So a big yummy reward was in store.
We had a great experience here. We called ahead and reserved for 6pm and…More »
8. Chez Gaudy - CLOSED
Like an overgrown dinner party at your friend's Paris flat, this place consistently maintains a friendly low-key yet saucy ambiance.
Similar to it's older more rebellious sibling, Bleu Bistro, charm and surprise are everywhere in the decor - desks…More »

Indian,

Neighbourhood: Fremont
*** New owners as of June of 07 *** and WOW does it show. I'd eaten here twice before and felt it was just ok - your average Indian fare in America.
Howevers, we just ate here the other night before heading to see The Fading Collection at Nectar and…More »
10. Julia's on Broadway
Seattle, WA 98102

Categories:
American (New),
Performing Arts,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
I'm not sure why Julia's on Broadway is so disliked. It's a mystery to me. I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed with the food or the service...
As a breakfast/brunch place it's simply wonderful - huge portions, good sides…More »
11. Rom Mai Thai
They deliver to the Central District! That's right, they don't have that mysterious "we don't deliver south of Madison" rule that so many Capitol Hill pizza and thai places seem to have. I hate this rule, and suspect it's to do with some perceived…More »
12. Mesob Ethiopian Restaurant
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 860-0403
Category:
Ethiopian
Neighbourhood: Central District
I used to eat at the old Mesob on the corner of 23rd & Cherry and it was run by this lovely couple. They would serve complimentary flaming sambuca shots! They are sadly no longer a couple but they still co-own and operate the restaurant at the new…More »
13. Duke's Chowder House

Categories:
Seafood,
Soup,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: West Seattle
4 stars for being what it is: a local place for great American grub. Tasty appies, good burgers of all sorts, decent fish & chips, nice pasta even!
Best of all- strong drinks and nibbles al fresco facing a lovely sunset. Or for chillier happy…More »
14. Elliott Bay Brewery & Pub

Neighbourhood: West Seattle
Qualifier - 4 stars for the food, 3 for the beer.
I work in West Seattle and I don't order beer with my lunch. On the occasional times I've tried the beer here at dinner, well, mmmm not so much. I'm spoiled methinks by the Elysian and McMennimans.
But…More »

Categories:
Diners,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Queen Anne
We went to the 5 Spot anticipating exploring the culinary theme. We were disappointed- at first. They were literally between themes - New Orleans had just finished and Route 66 was about to start and this meant that the menu was cut by more than…More »
