Its close, village-like feel, artsy ambience, cool hidden squares and sun-baked cafes make it a delight to explore. Rebuilt after destruction in WWII, its mishmash of lanes hide artisan shops, ateliers (workshops) and terraced houses strung with drying washing. Its centrepiece is La Vieille Charité."

"Stained glass-lit Saint Bread is a shrine to carbs at Portage Bay. Though the bakery doesn’t serve a dedicated brunch, there’s certainly no rule against late-morning weekend gorging on smoked trout toast, okonomiyaki tortillas, and all manner of pastries: cardamom knots, chocolate croissants, and coffee cake — just a few of the standouts, not to mention the excellent steamed egg sandwich on melonpan.

"OnlineThe best friend team behind Lady Grey Cakes, an online custom cake storefront, whips up artful creations that range from unexpected (blueberry pancake-influenced cake, anyone?) to comforting classics like dark chocolate with Nutella buttercream. The two-woman operation divides the work—Becca Hapke guides the menu, while Alia Al-Hatlani uses her background in oil painting to guide the pastel-swirled buttercream designs. They can satisfy any age, but these elegant wedding cake–adjacent decorations seem better suited for grown-up celebrations."

"The Sugar Bakery and Cafe was spun from a husband and wife’s experimentation with the apples from a tree in their front yard, but they didn’t stop there: pumpkin mousse cake, chocolate truffles, and toasted coconut cake show they’ve moved well past the apple tree.

"Olympic Sculpture Park is an award-winning free public sculpture park owned and operated as part of the Seattle Art Museum, originally opened to the public in 2007. The park spans nine acres along the city's downtown seawall beachfront at Myrtle Edwards Park and was designed by Weiss/Manfredi Architects on the site of a former industrial area. As one of downtown Seattle's only urban green spaces, the park is open to the public daily between dawn and dusk, with free tours available at select times throughout the year."

"Olympic Sculpture Park, an ingenuous feat of urban planning, is an official offshoot of the Seattle Art Museum and bears the same strong eye toward design and curation. There are more than 20 sculptures to stop at and admire in this green space that sprawls out over reclaimed urban decay. You can also enjoy them in passing while traversing the park's winding trails."

"The words “hotel rooftop bar” don’t exactly elicit enthusiasm among locals—you can imagine the sort of scene one can expect there—but the Nest, on the top floor of the Thompson Hotel downtown, is something different. Open in the summer of 2016, this megawatt stunner of a bar is part of the Huxley Wallace family, as is the hotel’s restaurant, Scout, on the bottom floor. It’s an obvious choice on a sparkling summer evening, when the sun doesn’t set over Elliott Bay until past 9 p.m., but it’s a delight on winter nights, too, when you can retreat to a cozy spot near the floor-to-ceiling windows and watch the lights twinkle along the waterfront."

"This downtown hotel’s rooftop bar, easily accessible from Pike Place Market, overlooks Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The 3,500-square-foot lounge offers table and bar seating, indoor and outdoor space, and floor-to-ceiling windows to emphasize the view even from inside. Small plates are complemented by classic cocktails, such as sidecars."

"Around the corner from Pike Place Market, The Nest serves up high-end, hand-crafted cocktails with astounding views of Elliott Bay. The environment is stylish and swanky with modern decor. Their cocktail menu is easy to navigate with comparisons to classic cocktails next to each of their offerings."

"It's the perfect size, flavorful, not too thick, and I absolutely love their shoe string fries.” See all Bad Bishop reviews"
