Seattle Restaurant Recommendations?

kris.p.groth

A friend of mine asked for some recommendations for her trip to Seattle. It's been a few years since I've been to Seattle and read about the local scene, so I'm a bit rusty. Can anyone help get me up to speed and make some bomb recommendations to my friend?

Here is something I wrote up on this forum this past summer:

It was a great trip, and I only wish I could re-visit this summer!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Add to that list,

Old Sage - capitol hill - same chef/owners as Spur, food is a little less technical but every bit as good doing some really fun stuff with fermentation here

Ballard Annex - ballard - good seafood and good cocktails

Stoneburner - ballard - just really well done food and they have a solid bar program, Jason's veggie dishes are the best I've had in the city

@Kris - it has been a long time since I've been to Seattle but I had wonderful meal at Canlis.

My wife is from Seattle and we usually get there once a year. With twins, our dining capacity has been somewhat limited recently. That said...favourites include: Restaurant Zoe, Spur Gastropub, the amaretto bread pudding at Boat St. Cafe, The Whale Wins (same people as Boat St), Sitka and Spruce. Never made it to Canlis...yet. Looks amazing but I never seem to remember to take a jacket that they would allow in... The Walrus and the Carpenter is meant to be good also but ran out of dinner times last trip. Oh, and Slim's Last Chance for dive bar and chilli, Bakery Nouveau for twice baked almond croissants and The Swinery for amazing burgers/sandwiches and heart stopping fries and anything pig - bacon cookie dough, bacon caramels, bacon spread, bacon salt. Even just bacon. It's a great butcher as well as the stuff your face on the premises option. Enjoy. Now I need to eat something.

This was a dessert from Restaurant Zoe, just to get those juices flowing...
