Amazing fresh seasonal local produce, cheeses, fresh pastas, smoked salmon and hand dipped ice cream.
Salmon sous vide and seasonal tagliatelle are always a winner. Their drinks are phenomenal and made with amazing care.
Owned by the sweet and wonderful Graca and Antonio from Bahia. Try one of the warm drinks with cachaca and cloves. National dish of Brazil is feijoada, try that and the chicken croquettas.
Open 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. with breakfast, lunch and dinner served the majority of those open hours. Drool worthy are the croque madame, salade verte, French onion soup, sardine sandwich, steak frites.
A good place to introduce someone new to Vietnamese cuisine w/ extensive menu. My favorites are seven courses of beef, Tamarind Tree Soup, banh xeo, bun rieu, cinnamon pork balls w/ fresh coconut.
Where Vietnamese people go to eat. Cash only. Get any of the combo platters, their bun bo hue is out of this world, grilled shrimp wrapped on sugar cane is also good.
Extensive menu for both vegetarians and omnivores. Unpretentious, simple and good. Try the che ba mau, a sweet dessert.
Quarterly 13 course Vietnamese veggie fundraising feasts for temple is best kept vegetarian foodie secret in this city.
Sommelier is excellent. Most of the ingredients are locally sourced. Never had a bad experience here. Good place to go for drinks, appetizers, or full on multiple course dinner for hours.
Great at restaurant week, during Valentine's season they have a cheese and chocolate buffet that is absolutely incredible (cotton candy drizzled with chocolate!). Lovely decors and attentive service.
Sit outdoors when the weather permits, sip on a house made soda and try the BBQ goods from the grill. Scrumptious!
If you're lucky, you'll see one of the aunties rolling dumplings at one of the tables in front. Phenomenal dumplings, spicy noodle soup, pot stickers, green onion pancake.
Mushroom dumplings are scrumptious, sushi chefs here converted me to sashimi. Happy hour is good. Try the poke.
Entirely sustainable sushi. Best salmon sashimi I've had and their website (sushiwhore.com) is absolutely hilarious and entertaining.
Japanese street food, alot of food on a stick. My favorite ramen in the city (enoki, add egg and pork). Try the fish collar grilled. And say yes to octopus balls and okonomiyaki.
Hand crafted pastas in lovely neighborhood tucked location. Delicious seasonal food brings you back to the lovely times you had in Italy.
Huge selection on weekends of traditional Vietnamese foodie goodies. Cash only! Easy to get to via Light Rail.
Caramel dream chai will keep you up until 3 a.m, got me thru college and tastes like heaven.
In house cappuccino orders come with a delish high quality chocolate. Buy any lb of coffee beans, and receive a free coffee of your choice! Recommend the Meaning of Life roast.
Highly recommend their dulce de leche cake for special events!
Amazing brunch! Esp. The brioche French toast and lavender w/ hazelnuts. Duck confit hash is out of this world. And always deeply consider the special, best I've had was ramps, eggs, and potatoes.
My fave fried chicken and greens in Seattle. Red velvet cake the size of your face! Crab cakes to die for. And amazing photography, family memorabilia and decors.
Hoppin John Fritters, Beignets, Rosemary Lemonade at brunch will make you want to become a permanent-vegetarian!

Food lovers paradise w/ wide variety of high quality cheeses by the lb, pastas, spices, chocolates, bulk goods and so much more goodness!
Great selection of cheese, chartuterie, antipastos, pates, and other specialty foods! Great for Italian cooking ingredients.
Salted caramels have a special place in my heart and the correct way to eat them is upside down with the salt side on your tongue. Enjoy!
The most amazing S. Asian food outside of my friends' and their mommas' houses! Butter chicken will change your life!
The best fresh juices, hemp ice cream this side of the mountains. Perfect after yoga classes next door!
Good place to catch up with a friend, date, for a drink and some good quality food. Parking can be a pain in this area.
If you are comfortable with animal heads on the wall, you'll love this place. Has a satisfying macaroni and cheese and one of the best burgers in the city.
Go here if you want to see an oil painting of Bruce Lee and spoil yourself silly with good service.
Sushi chef turned vegan cookie baker master owns and runs the place. Makes an amazing chai, vegan cookie, vegan chili, and open faced sandwich.
The place I'm referring to is past 50th & University Way in an unassuming location with "Open" often being the only signage. Ran by incredibly sweet couple and makes a mean kimchi tofu soup!
Seasoned deep fried tofu amazingness sold in bulk! They distribute to most of the Asian grocery stores in the area. Huge selection of sticky rice and dessert specials on weekends. Try dessert tofu!
Good place to hide out during lunch. Have the day's papers available for your meal reading pleasure at hostess table. Great service.
Orrechiette with rapini and spicy sausage is one of my favorite pasta dishes in the city. Beet salad also delicious. Chef often sends out complimentary amuse bouche to tables he enjoy.
Best pie I've had in Seattle. All they serve is beer, pizza, and tiramisu and it's all good. Love the tattoo'ed up servers and owners with baby in tow! Try the Real Hawaiian and arugula/egg.
Best slice of pie you can get at 2 a.m. Fresh hot out of the oven. Simple and good!
