125 Boren Ave. N.	American	$	Eastlake & South Lake Union

3 Pigs Bar-B-Q				Write a Review
1044 116th Ave. NE	Barbecue		Bellevue

10 Mercer				Write a Review
10 Mercer St.	Pacific Northwest	$$	Queen Anne
10 Mercer, once a parking garage, is now an oasis in an area where too many restaurants cater to the sports-jersey crowd. A commanding bar gives you a good view of patrons and passers-by outside; there's also a more private eating level on the mezzanine above. The bartenders and staff are... More >>

35th Street Bistro				Write a Review
709 N. 35th St.	French	$$	Fremont
With its large windows, hardwood floors, and large potted tree in the center, 35th Street Bistro has the look of an upscale sidewalk cafe moved indoors. Largely organic, the reflects owner Bob Day's commitment to "simplicity and focus on the taste of the ingredients"—which under Chef Tom... More >>

74th St Ale House				Write a Review
7401 Greenwood Ave. N.	Bar Food	$	Greenwood & Phinney Ridge
The high ceilings, big windows, and handsome wood floors of this alehouse make it an ideal hangout for people lucky enough to live within walking distance. If your ambitious enough to drive this far north for a thirst-quencher, you're also treated to several reasons to stay put for a few rounds.... More >>

Alki Homestead Restaurant				Write a Review
2717 61st Ave. S.W.	American	$	West Seattle
The Homestead eschews modernity, which is why so few Seattleites (particularly those under 65) know it's there. Regardless of your entrée choice (most go with the famous all-you-can-eat fried chicken, but the buttery baked halibut is great, too), your meal will begin with a basket of... More >>

All-Purpose Pizza & Ale				Write a Review
2901 S. Jackson St.	Pizza	$	Leschi & Madrona
All-Purpose radiates a stay-a-while vibe with dramatic abstract paintings on plum-colored walls, wi-fi, and chatty servers. A unique sourdough crust subtly enhances upscale pies like "Ked's Fave" (arugula, prosciutto, shaved almonds, garlic, and olive oil sauce) and the "Weed Eater" (pesto... More >>

Bamboo Garden				Write a Review
364 Roy St.	Chinese, Vegetarian	$	Queen Anne
Conveniently located for the theatergoing crowd, this one-room Chinese restaurant serves two main dining constituencies (vegetarians and people who keep kosher) with a wide array of dishes featuring delicious fake meat. Yet carnivores who don't know from kosher seem to enjoy it just as much.... More >>

Betty Bar & Restaurant				Write a Review
1507 Queen Anne Ave. N.	American	$$	Queen Anne
Betty, restaurant number two for Crow owners Craig Serbousek and Jesse Thomas, shares its sister's gift for simple food cooked beautifully: The chefs will perch a grill-charred salmon fillet on a hill of crisp-tender green beans and roasted fingerling potatoes, a dribble of mustard vinaigrette... More >>

Brad's Swingside Cafe				Write a Review
4212 Fremont Ave. N.	Italian	$$	Fremont
Fremont—the Fremont worth saving—survives and prospers as long as Brad Inserra is behind the stove at the Swingside. Inserra loves sautés, braises, and fricassees, often robed in dense, spice-scented tomato sauces. He loves piling nuggets of fresh seafood atop swirls of pasta,... More >>

Brasa				Write a Review
2107 Third Ave.	Mediterranean/Middle Eastern	$$$	Belltown
Brasa’s ocher dining room, with its curves and mezzanines and showcase bar, may get you in the mood to spend money. With Madrid and Lisbon, not Paris, as her culinary departure points, chef Tamara Murphy cooks as epically as her surroundings, imbuing her meats with the smoke of her... More >>

Brouwer's Cafe				Write a Review
400 N. 35th St.	Bar Food	$$	Fremont
Wine snobs be damned: Brouwer’s, with its 50 taps and 200 bottles (not to mention the 40 scotches) proves that beer-and-food pairing can be an elevated pursuit. A hearty Lost Coast accents the rib eye and Belgian fries, the Piraat matches up with a robust Gruyère and ham sandwich,... More >>

Buddha Ruksa				Write a Review
3520 S.W. Genesee St.	Thai	$	West Seattle
Buddha Ruksa's like a wedding reception hall crossed with a Buddhist retreat, dressed with wood paneling, warm colors, and all sorts of deities and candles. Another peculiar element of the ambience is the very open kitchen; it's so open you can practically stir-fry your own rice. But from this... More >>

Cafe Flora				Write a Review
2901 E. Madison St.	Vegetarian	$	Madison Valley & Madison Park
Vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free cuisine can be bland, a virtuous mortification of the flesh, but not at this pleasure-intensive joint. In the greenhouse-like great room or the calm of the main restaurant, you'll find decadence and (visual) drama in a puff-pastry-clad portobello Wellington or... More >>

Cafe Juanita				Write a Review
9702 N.E. 120th Pl.	Italian	$$$	Kirkland
Holly Smith, who took over a 25-year-old legend and remade it for the new millennium, mates twin obsessions: one with regional Italian cuisine, the other with seasonal, local ingredients. The latter is admirable in theory, but makes for some less wonderful surprises when the kitchen hasn't had... More >>

Cafe Lago				Write a Review
2305 24th Ave. E.	Italian	$$	Capitol Hill
From the regulars cozied up to the counter to the black-and-white checkered floor, Cafe Lago is like an Italian Cheers blended with Mayberry's barbershop. It's welcoming, unhurried, and neighborhoody, with the waitstaff dispensing good-natured barbs and advice as easily as Chianti and antipasti.... More >>

Cafe Presse				Write a Review
1117 12th Ave.	French	$	Capitol Hill
Sister restaurant to Jim Drohman and Joanne Herron's Le Pichet, Cafe Presse looks like a repurposed warehouse but acts like a well-loved Parisian cafe. The service can be distracted or even dismissive, but the vibe is always come-as-you-are, whether you're there to eat a mushroom omelet at 9, a... More >>

Cafe Yarmarka				Write a Review
1530 Post Alley	European	$	Pike Place Market
Stop by this market stall during a slow moment and you'll spot the women who run it nimbly folding trays' worth of pelmeni (tiny meat-stuffed dumplings). The baked piroshki get rewarmed in the microwave, so pass them over in favor of dumplings or stuffed cabbages like that woman in your... More >>

Canlis				Write a Review
2576 Aurora Ave. N.	Pacific Northwest, Seafood, Steak House	$$$	Queen Anne
Canlis is a seafood and steak house the way Bobby Short is a lounge singer: so grand an example of a genre as to transcend it. The Polynesian-influenced menu has evolved over the years; the only constants are the view—the best in town—and the formal yet gracious service. Dishes like... More >>

Chiang's Gourmet				Write a Review
7845 Lake City Way N.E.	Chinese	$	Ravenna & Wedgwood
This warm, lively Lake City restaurant offers two menus: Chinese-American and traditional Taiwanese-Sichuan. From the latter, a light, flavorful jellyfish appetizer has a crunchy texture recalling Japanese seaweed salad. Chiang's also makes a splendid (and massive) seafood hot pot brimming with... More >>

Chiso				Write a Review
3520 Fremont Ave. N.	Japanese/Sushi	$$, $$$	Fremont
Chiso's sushi ranges from good to oh-my-God, but what makes the place so attractive are its Japanese dishes with American ingredients. Attention-grabbers include a saute of geoduck and shiitakes in sake-butter sauce, pork-chive-shrimp pot stickers, and a bowl of tofu, asparagus, and mushrooms... More >>

Crave				Write a Review
1621 12th Ave.	Pacific Northwest	$, $$	Capitol Hill
With its postage-stamp-sized dining room and fishbowl windows, Crave may not be the place to hide from the rest of the world, but the restaurant’s ability to cook excellent comfort food makes it an ideal spot to recover from its ills. The brunchtime cheese blintzes, wrapped around a sweet... More >>

Crush				Write a Review
2319 E. Madison St.	Pacific Northwest	$$$	Madison Valley & Madison Park
Jason and Nicole Wilson's Madison Valley restaurant is like the high-school beauty queen you wanted to hate but couldn't, because she was too genuinely nice. The renovated 1903 house, done up in white-on-white modernity, is beautiful; the restaurant itself is wildly popular. Chef Wilson's food... More >>

Dahlak Eritrean Cuisine				Write a Review
2007 S. State St.	Ethiopian		Rainier Valley

Dahlia Lounge				Write a Review
2001 Fourth Ave.	Pacific Northwest	$$$	Belltown
Tom Douglas's flagship restaurant (Tom Hanks eats here in that movie) may be a big space, but it still feels like a love nest. Must be the acres and acres of red, giving everyone at your table a healthy, loved-up flush. Dahlia has some of the best service in the city, free of upmarket attitude,... More >>
