1. La Boucherie
It's like splurging on expensive champagne. Except, instead of a hangover and house in disarray, you wake up in the morning with a euphoric appreciation of money well spent. And your mind begins spinning a premature nostalgia for your farm to plate…More »

I could tell you about the tremendous collection of Chinese teas, which is great, but what I find even more intriguing is what takes place in the upper chambers of this tea gallery.
Now, I'm not quite certain because I haven't mustered up the courage…More »
3. Satay
A little spice is nice. A lot of spice is a kick in the pants... Satay serves up some sweet a** kicking meat skewers & mee goreng. Grab some Sriracha and take a seat!

Categories:
Vietnamese,

Neighbourhood: Ballard
Whenever I heard people talk about The Monkey Bridge, I thought it was some kind of rubber stamp shop. So good to be wrong.
It got its name from the Vietnamese villagers who cross over bamboo bridges, linking them to the fresh local markets on the…More »

So, I just tried A Woman's Kiss... I mean, I'm not Katy Perry or anything, but I liked it. Delicate almond flavor enhanced by smooth dark chocolate. Exactly as you would imagine.

This may be the closest to France I've ever been, which is a whole other sad story in itself, yet this happens to be a happy story that unfolded one sunny day on a beautiful garden patio in a Parisian cafe.
My mother, my youngest son and I all taking…More »

My favorite buffet in Seattle! Not my favorite "vegetarian" buffet- this is the best darn buffet in the city. And the owner is so friendly, welcoming you with his ever-present smile.

10. Gojo
Oh ya! Wow. This is my new spot for Ethiopian food.
Tucked into the little strip mall next to Sam's Club off Aurora, its unassuming exterior prepares one for a pleasant surprise upon entering through the large wooden door. Intimate and cozy, with what…More »
11. Kabul Afghan Cuisine
In case you haven't eaten at Kabul, and you're expecting to be whisked away to some exotic location, don't. Aside from the Afghani artwork on the walls and a an antique water pump sitting on a table by the door, the place is very much like a small…More »

Incredible happy hour! I'm tempted to eat here everyday. $1 miso soup. $1 edamame. $4.50 for an enormous roll of crispy sushi with a spanish aoli sauce drizzled on it. It's so decadent, it's almost like eating a sushi doughnut. My son said, "This…More »

15. Mexico Cantina y Cocina
What happened to you Mexico? You used to be my favorite place to visit for a special occasion. You used to blow my mind with the torch-lit veranda, excellent views, and addictively tantalizing flavors laced with salt & lime.
You're still good. More…More »
16. Kashcool Restaurant - CLOSED
We loved Kashcool. It's beautifully decorated, traditional Persian-style. Even crowded, the service was attentive and cheerful. The food was great. The joojeh kebab and chicken are flavorful, juicy and tender. The fesenjan was delicious. Of course…More »

We've eaten at both Vij's and Rangoli, and they're both excellent. Vij's is dimly lit and romantic with exotic decor while Rangoli's is just plain fun. Really different from any other restaurant I've been to. They both have amazing food. Extremely…More »

Romance In The City (19)Drunk on Billie Holiday, swooning through a city enraptured by the art of eat and drink.

When In Wenatchee (8)Someone once wrote, "A cursory glance at Wenatchee would have most people thinking that if they owned Hell and Wenatchee, they'd rent out Wenatchee and live in Hell."What the "Pour Fool" didn't know is that along with 300 days of sunshine, Wenatchee is the epicenter of outdoor recreation, boasting 11 miles of impressively landscaped trails around the Columbia River, beaches, boating and miraculously sunny ski hills. When you're feeling tuckered out, there are plenty of great shops and eateries to take refuge. Here are a few of my favorites. |
