Beacon Hill
One of our favorite restaurants, period. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the hummus is a staple, so always order it. Wood-fired, Mediterranean-meets-Northwest plates built for sharing. Back open after the 2025 fire, and still a Beac...
Homer Restaurant
Another of our go-to spots, a few blocks down from Homer. Get the burger, period: their smashburger won Eater Seattle's Best Burger award. Guam-inspired menu with late-night karaoke.
familyfriend
Family-run Filipino bakery that's been on Beacon Hill for decades. They always have good stuff in the case, so grab a box of pastries and pan de sal for the house.
Despi Delite Bakery
Another great pizza spot. Wood-fired, Italian-style pies and small plates right on Beacon Ave, and a whole lot easier to get into than A.K. A neighborhood classic for a sit-down dinner.
Bar del Corso
My go-to for Mexican food. Order the enchiladas with red sauce, they're the move. Quick, casual and a Beacon Hill favorite.
Carnitas Michoacan
Columbia City
Our favorite breakfast spot in Columbia City. The French toast is a must. Right on Rainier Ave and just steps from Empire Roasters, so you can make a morning of it.
Geraldine's Counter Restaurant
My go-to coffee place. Order the PBJ waffle with your latte, then head upstairs to dig through the record shop.
Empire Roasters & Records
For the donut lovers. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors, so get a box and try a few. Big, filled, creative donuts a short hop down Rainier from Columbia City. Get there early because they sell out.
The Flour Box
Othello & Georgetown
It's tough to get a pizza here (next-day preorders open at noon and sell out fast), but A.K. has clearly become the place to go. Whatever you end up with, you have to get the chocolate chip cookie.
A.K. Pizza
Korean rice bowls on Airport Way in Georgetown. I get the Bulgogi Bopbowl with a side of the Kale Tempura. It's also on my Korean Food in Seattle list.
Bopbox (Georgetown)
Next on My List
Haven't been yet, but it's been on my list for a while. A small Ethiopian spot on Rainier Ave in the heart of the South End's Ethiopian food scene. Plan on sharing a big platter with injera.
Delish Ethiopian Cuisine
Another South End Ethiopian spot I want to try, right on Rainier Ave. It's a cafe and restaurant in one, so it works for coffee or a full Ethiopian meal.
Kezira Cafe Seattle
On my list for a sit-down Mexican dinner in Georgetown. A lively, colorful spot on Airport Way that's popular for its moles and margaritas, and an easy pair with a Georgetown afternoon.
