1. Elliott's Oyster House
Oysters taste even better when you have a view of the water. It's as if the staff just plucked them up from their "backyard" and dropped it onto your plate! Nevermind that you've got to cultivate these delicious babies...
My friend and I shared a…More »
2. Washington State Ferries
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 464-6400
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Belltown
One of the best ways to catch a "Seattle Postcard Photo" moment of the city, especially a shot of the Space Needle amongst the high-rise buildings of downtown. A friend and I drove onto the ferry boat headed towards Bainbridge Island, the closest…More »
3. La Buona Tavola
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 292-5555
Categories:
Specialty Food,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Wine tasting that gets personal, in a good way.
I sat at the communal table with a friend, where David the owner walked us through a sample of Sangiovese reds with a finish of Moscato D'Asti. For $5, you get to sample some wonderful Italian vino…More »
4. Piroshky Piroshky
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 441-6068
The beef and cheese piroshky I had = a Russian hot pocket meets pastry in heaven!
I've never heard of a piroshky before, but the moment I bit into the soft, freshly baked, and flaky pastry, I was in love. It was a perfect combination of melted…More »
5. Shorty's
I challenge you to a game of FAMILY GUY pinball. If you accept, then meet me in the back dim lit room of this bar/arcade dive.
I stopped by Shorty's during a Seattle visit, expecting to check out the place briefly before hitting up Tula's next…More »
6. Pike Place Chowder
Seattle, WA 98101
(206) 267-2537
Categories:
Seafood,
American (Traditional),
Soup
Neighbourhood: Downtown
How can you resist a place that has an award for the "Nation's Best Chowder?" The New England clam chowder is delicious - the perfect cure to a dreary rainy Seattle day. Nice and creamy with tasty chunks of potato and clams; I love it when chowders…More »
7. FareStart
A feel-good meal that also tastes good! Dining at this modern, yet affordable restaurant will be an experience that is pleasant, but also helps to support at-risk students advancing in the culinary profession. The decor is chic, but also casual -…More »
8. Black Bottle
Seattle, WA 98121
(206) 441-1500
Categories:
American (New),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Belltown
3.5
Great trendy ambiance - dim lights, minimal decor, and loud music. Fun, if not exactly intimate.
I was looking forward to the food and drinks here, given the stellar reviews both on Yelp and in the Lonely Planet guide. I was mildly disappointed…More »
9. The Kingfish Cafe
Seattle, WA 98112
(206) 320-8757
Categories:
Southern,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
3.5
Everything about this place seems to have a personal and historical touch, as if you stepped into a Southern home and were served straight from the kitchen. The place looks worn in a charming way, from the creaky wooden floor to the…More »
10. Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Portland, OR 97204
(503) 295-6144
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
The latte was divine - wonderful strong espresso with a perfect amount of steamed milk and artistic flair atop the foam. I was excited to try this cafe since it's so well known and loved in Portland. My friend and I were there the day of the…More »
11. Granville Island Public Market
Vancouver, BC V6H 3S3
Canada
(604) 666-6477
Categories:
Grocery,
Fruits & Veggies
Neighbourhood: Granville Island/False Creek
A fun indoor market bustling with crowds - locals and tourists alike- full of foods, candies, maple syrup, tea and coffee, and arts & crafts. If you're visiting Vancouver, this is a great place to purchase gifts as opposed to tacky souvenirs. What…More »
12. Republic
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
Canada
(604) 669-3266
Categories:
Bars,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
DJ Kenya rocked the house the night my friends and I were there, getting our taste of Vancouver, Canada's downtown night life. We intended on going bar/club hopping through Robson and Granville, but with the rain and all of the other clubs acting…More »
13. Voodoo Doughnut
Portland, OR 97204
(503) 241-4704
3.5
It looks like exactly what it sounds like: a maple doughnut with crispy bacon strips on top. A nice, warm caramel colored icing with 2 strips of fatty bacon laid out nonchalantly on either end of the doughnut. Like someone just left it there…More »
14. Aura
Portland, OR 97209
(503) 597-2872
Categories:
Lounges,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
One of the few spots open for the clubbing scene in downtown Portland, which meant it was jam-packed that Saturday night. Clean and minimally chic decor, two stories with a bar on each level, and a stage area for folks who like dancing to an…More »
