1. White Swan Public House
$$ | |Weaving local seafood into gastropub-style favorites, this waterfront restaurant makes food as good as the view, which stretches up to the Space Needle to the west and over to Lake Union to the north. Seafood chowder, both on its own and over fries as "Poutine o' the Sea," Dungeness Crab Louie salad, and amazing oysters show off the kitchen's skill with the local treasures. The menu offers plenty of options from snacks to seafood platters, plus some meat and vegetable dishes for any landlubbers. In the summer, grab a quick chowder at the 100-Pound Clam, the restaurant's sister shack on the patio, or stop by on weekday afternoons for "Shells and Champagne" happy hour specials.

2. Bar Harbor
$$$ | |Straddling an indoor space and outdoor patio of the large 400 Fairview building, this lobster specialist channels a Maine shoreline shack into an urban west coast landscape. Seafood is the star here, particularly in the lobster roll, but also in other sandwiches, a range of salads, and the clam dip. They serve craft beer on tap, a few wines, and slushy cocktails in the summer.

4. Great State Burger
$ | |This update to the classic American burger shop manages to be both an ode to the Northwest and an example of how fast food can be done right. Organic, grass-fed beef is broken down and ground in-house, organic milkshakes are made from local ice cream, and the crinkle-cut fries feel like a nostalgic nod to childhood. Local sodas and beers flow from the taps. The bright colors, well-lit space, and service speed take cues from the fast-food industry, but the flavor is a cut above.

- Organic burgers
- Cheerful decor

5. Tanoor
$$$ | |This elegant Lebanese restaurant serves an enormous menu of Halal cuisine, including flavorful mezze, all-day breakfasts, and plenty of meat on a stick. For more casual meals, they have a few Middle Eastern street foods and sandwiches. Everything comes rich with spices alongside fluffy, freshly baked pita. The huge selection includes plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free items, with attention to allergens. Because it is fully Halal, there is no alcohol served, but it has a terrific selection of non-alcoholic drinks, from blended juices to cardamom-infused Turkish coffee.
803 Dexter Ave. N, Seattle, Washington, 98109, USA206-457–5272Known For
- Huge selection of Lebanese food
- Spacious dining room
- Fresh-baked pita

6. Teinei
$$ | |A narrow gem tucked into the office building landscape of South Lake Union, this spot opened by the former chef of the local Japanese consulate specializes in ramen, but executes a huge variety of Japanese specialties. The izakaya food works well for a small snack with a drink, while heartier dishes make a great dinner. They also serve pizza, but the smart money sticks with the more traditional Japanese foods.
