RESTAURANTS
Seattle has lots of great restaurants of all
different varieties. Jack In The Box, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's -- you name it!
Seriously, though, if you are looking for a good place to eat out, you've browsed to the
right page. We have listed a tiny fraction of the good restaurants Seattle has to offer,
and have tried to arrange them by price. We have also indicates about how far they are from
the hotels with cute little car icons. Each
represents 5 minutes or less of drive time.
- Rosita's Mexican Grill
(
) --
A great Mexican restaurant -- one of our longtime favorites. Reasonably
priced with a nice atmosphere, Rosita's serves great contemporary and
traditional Mexican dishes.

- Sea Thai (
) --
An excellent and inexpensive Thai restaurant. The place is
small, but the flavors are huge. And be sure to check out their rice pudding
for dessert.
(map)
- Gorditos (
) --
The biggest burritos this side of the Rio Grande. What
Gordito's lacks in atmosphere they make up for in tastiness and enormous
freakin' burritos. Great enchilada plates too, and don't miss their
incredible salsa bar. Two locations!

- Mehak Indian Cuisine (
) --
An inexpensive Indian restaurant, and one of our
favorite. Perhaps the two biggest smiles you will ever see grace the faces
of the owners. Great lunch buffet too.

- Nasai Teriyaki (
) --
Looking for a teriyaki joint? Definitely check out Nasai.
Which Nasai? Well, out of the seven teriyaki restaurants in the Seattle area
sporting that name, I recommend the one next to the University Village.

- Musashi's (
) --
Ahh, Musashi's. If you like sushi (or even teriyaki), you'll
love this place, if you can fit in the door. In the words of CitySearch.com,
"This tiny Wallingford spot is jammed most of the time with a ravenous
cluster waiting outside and frenzied double-parkers running in for carryout."
We recommend arriving before 6.

- China Village (
) --
A great, reasonably priced Chinese restaurant a mere
panda's throw away from the University Village.
(map)
- Copacabana Cafe (
)
-- A small Bolivian cafe serving huge Bolivian flavors.
Salads, soups, seafood, meats, vegetables, you name it! Right across the
street from the famous Pike Place Market -- if you are down there visiting
the market stop off for lunch. You won't regret it.
(map)
- The Sunlight Cafe (
) -- A wonderful vegetarian restaurant. We could live on
their cornbread, vegetable risotto and bean and cheese burritos.
(map)
- Flowers (
) -- A restaurant-cum-bar in the heart of the university district.
Great eats (you can't go wrong with the polenta and cheese), good drinks.
(map)
- Beso Del Sol (
)
-- Southwest Mexican cuisine. A bit pricier than Rosita's,
but a slightly more formal atmosphere. Serving Southwestern Mexican food two
blocks from out house! If you're a burrito fan, be sure to order the
Tombstone Burrito (or just go to Gordito's, see below)
(map)
- The Red Robin
(
,
,
or
) --
Perhaps the best place to get hamburgers outside of
Hamburg. Ben's favorite part is their bottomless steak fries. Festive
atmosphere, full bar and bottomless steak fries. Oh yeah, did I mention that
they have bottomless steak fries?
(maps)
- Buenos Aires (
) --
An Argentinean steakhouse. This is where we went the night
of the proposal. Fabulous steaks, wonderful lamb, and definitely ask for the
baked provolone appetizer!
(map)
- Ray's Boathouse
(
) --
A very fancy (coat and tie) seafood restaurant with a
breathtaking view of Puget Sound and the Olympics. Northwest fish have been
known to interview fishermen and only bite if they know they'll end up at
Ray's.
