If you’re looking for an excellent date night restaurant, look no further than Six Seven. Located in the Edgewater Hotel off the Alaskan Way Waterfront, the fine-dining restaurant offers phenomenal views and even better food.
Six Seven is seafood-focused, but offers an array of tasty bites for all tastes. Reservations are recommended, and paid Valet parking is available at the restaurant.
It’s just a few blocks from Centennial Park and the Olympic Sculpture Park, offering a great place to stroll after your dinner.
Another Belltown gem is Mainstay Provisions, a casual cafe serving sandwiches, soups, pizza by the slice, and excellent baked goods. There is also a selection of specialty grocery items that you can peruse, and Mainstay also has a second location in Ballard.
Mainstay is known for quick service and consistently tasty food – making it perfect for a quick lunch break.
Marination Ma Kai is a casual, family-friendly Hawaiian restaurant with several locations around Seattle. The Ma Kai location is in West Seattle, and offers stunning views of the Seattle skyline.
The food is simple but excellent. Guests can enjoy spam musubi, fish tacos, Kalua pork, and other Hawaiian classics – while enjoying the cool breeze off the Seattle waterfront!
Baxter & Frost is a hidden gem. At first glance it’s an unassuming coffee shop. But step inside, and you’ll find an incredible selection of some of the best desserts Seattle has to offer. Gourmet chocolate, fresh baked pie, flaky pastries, cookies and more – all in a casual but welcoming environment!
Located just blocks from Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum, it pairs well with a variety of awesome activities right in downtown Seattle.
With four locations scattered throughout Seattle, Tacos Chukis is a no-frills counter service Mexican joint with phenomenal food. The price to flavor ratio is off the charts, offering affordable meals that are absolutely delicious.
Plus, the counter-service model usually means faster service, making it a quick in-and-out meal that won’t break the bank.
These are some of the best restaurants in Seattle, in our opinion. What’s your opinion?
