I will never get tired of the chicken spicy wontons! The flavors at Din Tai Fung are unmatched and the overall service is fantastic.

Coming from a harsh biryani critic, I'll say their chicken biryani is a solid 9.5/10! Definitely my go-to when I need my desi food fix

Amazing breakfast spot that was enjoyed by my entire family! Collectively, we thoroughly enjoyed the corned beef hash, brioche french toast, salmon benedict, and goat cheese & spinach omelette. Their fresh squeezed juices were also delicious!
Bacco Cafe

I love the concept of this place because it allows me to try a wide variety of sushi, instead of sticking to one or two rolls. The sushi was fresh, tasty, and affordable (you pay by the pound)

Some of the best Birria Tacos I've had in a while, in terms of flavor and salt-content. The consomme was also excellent and had the perfect consistency. I've seen some mixed reviews of this place but I personally had a great experience!

Loved the Live Aloo Tikki Chaat (they actually layer it in front of you)! I'm usually not big on fusion food, but this place was awesome! They also had really fun drinks
Farzi Café

Great seafood spot with exceptional service! They have a huge variety of options but if I had to pick my favorite item, it would be the “Oysters Rockefeller”
Water Grill - Bellevue

Loved the ceviche and tacos! For drinks, I highly recommend getting the margarita flight. For the flight I chose La Pasión, Piña Niña, and Spicy Pepino – all were amazing but the Piña Niña was definitely my favorite
Cantina Monarca

Best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The steak and chicken thigh sandwich’s are SO good — juicy and incredibly flavorful! The caramelized onions are also amazing (so popular that you can order them separately)

I really enjoyed getting work done here while sipping my oat milk chai latte! I also tried their chicken roll, which was the perfect light snack -- flavorful and baked to perfection! I loved the aesthetics/overall vibes of this cafe too
Piedmont Café

Everyone needs to try the "Shaken Blackberry Espresso Spritz"! I also love the healthy smoothie and food/snack options here

Go here if you're still not over Dubai Chocolate! The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup was 10/10 and I also enjoyed the pistachio waffles!
Lune Cafe

I always come here for the toasts, with my favorite being the "basil ricotta tomato" toast. The honey gives it the perfect hint of sweetness. The coffee is really good too!

10/10 Dubai Chocolate Crepes! If you don't mind waiting, I highly recommend the Souffle. I got the strawberry delight, which took over an hour to make, but it was 100% worth it
The Screaming Parrots Cafe

The blueberry grilled cheese is my favorite thing on the menu as it’s always made to perfection!
