Seattle Eats/Drinks For Every Occasion: High Brow/Low Brow
16
items I've lived in this city for 15 years and have had the great fortune of trying many incredible restaurants, cafes, dive bars, sandwich shops, etc all over the city. These are my current favorites, ranging from high brow to low brow in no particular or...

Amazing drinks, food, ambience on a rooftop and a view of Lake Union? This place is so unique and I'm obsessed. It's such a fun place to celebrate a special event with girlfriends or enjoy a happy hour in an elevated setting. You can't beat the views...

Picnic opportunity alert! Now true Seattleites (is that what we're called…is that how you spell it…can someone come up with a better name???) will know that putting Un Bien and not Paseo on this list is a choice and a controversial one at that, but I...
Un Bien
Hear me out, it's a weird location right on 99, but the food is SPECTACULAR. Treat yourself to the birria tacos with consume and thank me later. This is a super casual spot with fabulous margaritas and legit Mexican food. Great for families, large gr...
El Legendario Mexican Restaurant
Fancy aesthetic brunch needs? Look no further than Harry's Beach House. Best bloody mary of all time. This is a great place for a large party celebrating a milestone, but I particularly like to sit at the bar by myself on a Sunday morning with a bloo...
Harry's Beach House
Vegetarian superstars, this one is for you. This place brings me so much joy every time I go. I am not a veggie and yet I choose to go to this vegetarian cafe whenever I'm in the area. The coffee is stellar, the food is light but feels decadent and t...
Cafe Flora
Seattle's bagel scene is booming. You have to try Backyard Bagel. Everything is delicious, but I LOVE a sesame bagel with scallion schmear. Now, for all my West Coasters out there, you may freak out when you hear they don't toast their bagels. Don't ...
Backyard Bagel
I absolutely love this Lebanese restaurant. The service is impeccable, the food is to die for, and the prices are reasonable for a fancy experience. Great date night spot.
Cafe Munir
Special occasion restaurant with to-die-for Italian food, great people-watching, and a dessert tray? YES PLEASE. I've been lucky enough to mark some special occasions at this restaurant and they never disappoint. It's classy and old school, but not s...
Il Terrazzo Carmine
Can you tell how much I love pizza by how many pizza recs are on this list? This one is fancy pizza. Not necessarily expensive, but the vibes are fancy, dark, and mysterious. They've got great cocktails. I recommend the Star Destroyer. This is a grea...
Cornuto Pizzeria
This is not your average Seattle Indian restaurant. Don't get me wrong, I love a sit down Indian restaurant with all the hits, but this is something else. This is Indian street food and wow is it going to blow your socks off. My order is 1 Kathi Roll...
Spice Waala
This recommendation is for happy hour. I can't speak to dinner or brunch, although they are extremely popular, it's a bit outta my price range. I can however speak to their incredible happy hour cocktails, service, and food. Wow wow wow it's all good...
Sabine Café
Dive alert! This place is fun, but it made my list specifically for the buffalo chicken wings. I don't know why, but they are the best in town. Don't sleep on a good dive people. Get out there and L I V E.
Kate's Pub
Get the Derek's fav. It's dish delish. This place is new and incredibly popular. They have a limited menu and limited hours, but it's worth it. Nuff said, go try it.
My Friend Derek’s
This place is weird in all the right ways. It used to be a Chinese restaurant but now it's got great hot chicken and a bar that feels like you're in the 70's. It's a vibe and I highly recommend you check it out. Beware-- when they say hot chicken the...
Sisters and Brothers
Such a fun menu and incredible pizza! Great cocktails. The vibes are immaculate, especially on the back patio. This place gets busy but it is SO worth the wait for a table. Early dinner at Sunny Hill goes amazingly well with a sunset stroll at Golden...
Sunny Hill
Best coffee in Seattle and I'm not joking. Do I practice yoga? I do not. I do, however, love a 12 ounce black americano with a few ice cubes so I can drink it as fast as humanly possible and this place makes the best one in the city. It's not all fan...
