For most Seattleites, drinking at lunch on a weekday is still a bit taboo. Those who feel a bit more European seem to congregate at Matt’s in the Market, where you can enjoy a delicious meal, a great view, and a glass (or three) of wine without anyone batting an eye. Look around and you’ll see a bottle on most tables, or a cocktail, or both! The wine list is deep and well-curated, the cocktails thoughtfully chosen. So ditch that boring iced tea and live a little!
