Best Restaurants in Seattle Area

1115 restaurants analyzed · Seattle

Seattle's food scene is anchored by Pacific Northwest seafood and Asian cooking - strong Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese restaurants across the metro, fed by direct trade routes across the Pacific. The coffee culture is the country's most serious, and the craft beer scene runs deep. Neighbourhood dining is the norm rather than destination dining districts, with prices sitting moderate - more affordable than San Francisco for comparable quality.
