Seattle Visitor’s Guide: Part 1 ~ Where to eat
by Kyla Myers
If there is one philosophy I subscribe to it’s “Think Global, buy local.” If you’re in Texas, eat beef. When you’re in Seattle, “Buy Local, Eat Seafood.” Particularly if you’re from someplace that is nowhere near the coast.
Here are a few of my favourite Seattle restaurants:
- Elliot’s Oyster House: My favourite Oyster Bar but don’t limit yourself, they also offer a full menu of extraordinary foods. If you like oysters you should sit yourself down right at the Oyster Bar and chat with Award Winning Master Shucker, David Leck. He’s a doll and will give you extra oysters if you’re nice and show an interest. David loves his job and it shows.
- The Lobster Shop: My favourite “dress up” restaurant. Located at Dash Point, the Lobster Shop is a bit of a drive and on the pricey side, but I find it hard to think of anywhere in the world where I’ve had better lobster and I’ve lived all over the world. Afterward you can have a stroll along the moonlit beach. This is a great restaurant for a romantic dinner for two.
- Salty’s: Salty’s is probably my overall favourite restaurant. It’s the one place I never miss when I’m in Seattle. There is one at Alki Beach and one at Redondo, which is further out. Redondo is my fave. Go for brunch on Sunday if you can, it’s unforgettable! If not, you can go for the Early Bird and get the best prices.
- Assagio: If you are craving great italian, you can’t go wrong with Assagio!
- Typhoon or Thai Ginger: If you love Thai food (The Gulf of Siam Seafood curry at Typhoon is unbelievably good and packed with seafood.)
- Dilettante Chocolates: Looking for fabulous coffee and a pastry? This is your perfect afternoon stop.
- Cafe Umbria: Voted Best coffee in Seattle. Put them to the test!
