An Eater's Guide to Seattle
Table Of Contents
Welcome to the land of Local
Everywhere you turn in Seattle, you're greeted by mountains, lakes, and the Puget Sound. There's fresh salmon flown in from Alaska, sushi galore, and an absolute glut of Hawaii's favorite raw fish salad, poke. Washington state is also home to some of the country's most fertile soil, which means incredible produce, a thriving wine scene, and even a case to be made that barbecue, thanks to lovely livestock, is better here than in Texas. Just as importantly, the region's cuisine is influenced heavily by a history of Asian immigration, which is why everything from fried chicken hot spots to fancy restaurants call back to Vietnam, Japan, China, Korea, and more.
As far as single item food experiences go, don't miss oysters at Taylor Shellfish Farm, handmade-noodle pho at Ba Bar, tajarin pasta with butter and sage sauce at Cascina Spinasse, dumplings at Dough Zone, deep-dish pizza at Windy City Pie (and sourdough deep-dish at sibling Breezy Town Pizza), and the hot oil biang biang at Miah's Kitchen, roving restaurant critic Bill Addison's "most profound noodle revelation."
Where to Start on Eater Seattle's Top Maps
As you know, Eater puts out oodles of maps detailing the top places and things to eat and drink in Seattle. Below, we cherry pick the top points on our most popular maps to help time-starved eaters prioritize which spots to visit.

Hot Restaurant: The hottest of the hot right now is Dingfelder's Delicatessen, eventually a full restaurant but currently a walk-up window for traditional Jewish deli fare like pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, half-sour pickles, and chopped chicken liver. It's one of a new wave of Jewish restaurants in the works to fill a void that's existed in Seattle for far too long.
Essential Restaurant: If you need to narrow down the Essential 38, head to Capitol Hill for Renee Erickson's Bateau, which may very well be the finest steakhouse in the nation. Venture north to Ravenna and Junebaby for Edouardo Jordan's deeply personal, immensely satisfying take on American Southern cuisine, or try the city's juiciest soup dumplings and buns at one of Dough Zone Dumpling House's five locations.
Bars: Seattle takes its cocktails seriously. One of the most exciting of the new contenders is Fremont's funky Stampede Cocktail Club. As for longer-standing options, one of the best is Stateside sibling Foreign National, whose inventive use of Asian ingredients made it a clear choice for an Eater Award in 2016; other essential bars to seek out include nationally renowned Canon. Navy Strength is a must-try for modern tiki, and Eater Seattle's award winner for Bar of the Year in 2017, Alchemy, is an adventurous jaunt in West Seattle. There are also wine bars galore, like the lovely French Le Caviste, and hopheads will want to geek out at the city's top beer bars, including Chuck's Hop Shop.
Breweries: There's been an exciting proliferation of strong breweries throughout Seattle in recent years, but one standout is a must-visit: Holy Mountain, with its constantly changing menu of off-beat, barrel-aged beers, all impeccable. And Cloudburst, just north of Pike Place Market, is a masterful maker of dank IPAs.
Poke: Even as the poke craze calms, the Hawai'ian specialty of raw marinated fish remains a favorite Seattle dish, and the top purveyors are worth revisiting time and time again. Your best bets are places like the surprisingly satisfying and wildly popular phenomenon that is 45th Stop N Shop and Poke Bar and the restaurants and food trucks named after the Godfather of Poke himself, Sam Choy's Poké to the Max.
Brunch: The humble bacon-and-eggs midday meal has been elevated to an art form here. Capitol Hill's Wandering Goose does it impeccably, as does West Seattle's Ma'ono Chicken and Whiskey.
Coffee: Experience Seattle's essentials, head to the Eastside for the top spots there, or hit up the hottest additions to the city's famed scene. Stop by Italian espresso machine-expert La Marzocco's first-ever cafe and showroom to try the month's roaster-in-residence, hit up any of Slate Coffee Roasters' three meticulous shops to geek out, then ease into the evening sipping a glass of natural wine alongside your coffee at Vif, which feels like it deserves to be the fourth wave of coffee.
Views: In this fetching city surrounded by mountains and water and evergreen trees, dining with a view is a must. Take the water taxi across Elliott Bay to dine on Hawaiian-Korean creations at Marination Ma Kai or nab an Adirondack chair on the north end of Lake Union for Mediterranean-inspired fare with a skyline view at Westward. You'll also want to keep track of the city's best patios for bright summer days.

Ultra-hip and oh-so-trendy, Capitol Hill is Seattle's proud LGBTQ capital and a rare beacon of late-night revelry. Now, along with nearby South Lake Union, it's also the epicenter of the city's ongoing development boom. Along with all the sleek new condo buildings come restaurants, new bumping up against the old. See some of the finest options in our neighborhood guide. The most relevant spots right this minute include Bateau, Stateside, and Foreign National, though you should also add the fried chicken sandwich and boozy ginger beer purveyor Rachel's Ginger Beer to your list, along with international street food-inspired Nue, ever-popular Malaysian spot Kedai Makan, and renowned Thai nook Little Uncle.

International District:
As diverse a neighborhood as you'll find in the city, the ID or CID (whose full name is Chinatown International District) is home to Chinatown, Japantown, and Little Saigon, with all the wonderful cuisines those represent and more; see our neighborhood dining guide for tons of great options. In particular, fans of noodles should seek out the satisfying cheap eats at King Noodle, the lunch-, weekday-, cash-only favorite Thai Curry Simple, or the obscure ramen deal at Tsukushinbo, only available Fridays for lunch. Dip dumplings in soup at Mike's Noodle House, try spicy wontons at Gourmet Noodle Bowl, or admire the unusually-long pan-fried potstickers at Szechuan Noodle Bowl. And don't miss Huong Binh Vietnamese Cuisine's perfectly grilled pork, as well as the affordable lunch boxes and barbecue pork banh mi at Saigon Vietnam Deli.

Ballard:
Once a rough-and-tumble fishing village, Ballard has changed a lot since it was annexed into Seattle city limits in 1907. The neighborhood — mapped out for your dining convenience here — straddles the line between modern development and the preservation of its early history, a sort of lens into what's playing out across the city as a whole. There's plenty worth eating here, including upscale newcomer Copine, which focuses on elegant French preparations of Northwest ingredients; seafood-focused oyster bar the Walrus and the Carpenter; wood-fired pizza perfectionist Delancey; and Caribbean sandwich restaurant Un Bien. Not hungry yet? Work up an appetite while watching the salmon run in the fish ladder at the Ballard Locks. Ballard's year-round Sunday farmers market is a treat, too.
Other indispensable neighborhood guides:
West Seattle, Georgetown, Pioneer Square, Wallingford, Columbia City, Green Lake, U District, Beacon Hill, Federal Way, Tacoma, Tacoma's Lincoln District, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Seattle Glossary of Terms
Seattle Hot Dog:
It's a hot dog or sausage slathered in — wait for it — cream cheese and grilled onions. No one knows quite why. Verdict: surprisingly good. Sorry, Philadelphia, you missed out big time on this innovation. Want to try the most extravagant version in the city? It's Renee Erickson's salmon roe-coated homage at dramatic bar Deep Diveunderneath the Amazon Spheres.
Geoduck:
Pronounced "gooey duck," this is an enormous, coveted clam that shocks newcomers with its phallic appearance. Take a deep dive on this bizarre, beloved Pacific Northwest native, and look out for it at places like Lark, How to Cook a Wolf, and Sushi Kashiba.
Teriyaki:
This sticky-sweet Japanese-American dish is a Seattle specialty, popularized by Toshihiro Kasahara at Toshi's Teriyaki Restaurant in the 1970s. You can still find Kasahara north of the city at Toshi's Teriyaki Grill (16212 Bothell Everett Hwy, Mill Creek); you can do your laundry while pairing doughnuts and teriyaki at King Donuts and Teriyaki and Laundromat, which closed briefly before being reopened by new owners; or you can devour a teriyaki chicken burger at one of Katsu Burger's growing number of fusion joints.
Starbucks:
Just kidding — sorta. Sure, you know the mega-chain got its start in Seattle, and you probably don't need to check out Starbucks' faux-riginal location in Pike Place Market (the true original was nearby at the corner of Western and Virginia). But do check out the company's sexy, modern, copper-plated Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room on Capitol Hill (1124 Pike Street), where fresh specialty beans are piped directly to baristas serving a variety of intriguing concoctions, with or without syrups and whipped creams. The space is even home to a full bar, and a high-end Italian bakery called Princi has taken up residence to ply customers with flaky cornetti and other breads and pastries baked fresh all day, every day. It's certainly impressive.

Old-school yet relevant, Canlis is Seattle's classic white-tablecloth, fine-dining, dress-code restaurant. It's still owned and operated by the Canlis family, and it's still setting the benchmark for quality and service in the city. One of the only permanent menu fixtures, the Canlis salad, is an icon; the rest of the menu rotates, showcasing local ingredients tinged with Asian flavors, a mark of the powerful influence that immigrants have had on the region's cuisine.
Renee Erickson:
A recent James Beard Award-winner, this chef channels rustic European country cooking by way of seasonal Pacific Northwest ingredients in her bright, airy, elegant spaces. She runs some of the city's most adored restaurants, including mobbed oyster bar the Walrus and the Carpenter, wood-fired Whale Wins, innovative steakhouse Bateau, and even a darling doughnut shop called General Porpoise.
Shiro Kashiba:
A legend in his own right, this beloved chef trained with Jiro Ono (of Jiro Dreams of Sushi) before defining sushi culture in Seattle over the past 50 years and counting. He spent early days at Maneki (still an unbeatable dining experience more than 100 years after its inception) and other spots, pioneering the use of local seafood, then two decades at namesake Shiro's. Finally, after the world's shortest retirement, Kashiba returned to the counter in late 2015 at Pike Place Market's Sushi Kashiba, an incredible ode to fresh fish.
