The Best Restaurants in Seattle

The Emerald City boasts some of the finest dining on the West Coast. Fresh seafood and a devoted foodie culture with a strong Asian influence make Seattle's restaurants a destination in themselves.

Elliots Oyster House

Elliots Oyster House on the waterfront is an excellent location to enjoy the sunset while dining on fresh oysters and cold beer. The cedar plank salmon and the seafood gumbo are excellent choices.

The Brooklyn Seafood, Steak and Oyster House

For fine dining downtown, The Brooklyn is hard to beat. A great wine (and beer) list complements a diverse menu of Northwest favorites: steak, salmon, oysters, crab cakes and more.

Paseo Caribbean Restaurant

For a different experience, join the crowd waiting in line outside Paseo. This small hole-in-the-wall establishment has some of the best Caribbean sandwiches and dishes in the city. The prices can't be beat either.

Wann Izakaya

For an authentic Japanese izakaya experience, check out Wann's downtown. The sake menu is great and the Asahi and Sapporo flow freely. Great dishes include Takoyaki (octopus dumplings) and Kobe beef tataki.
