Best Seattle Restaurants With a View
"James Beard Award–winning chef Holly Smith produces the most elegant Northern Italian innovations on the Eastside, in sleek midcentury quarters worthy of her food. Smith has a gift for conception, so an Anderson Valley rack of lamb might be paired with green beans in a swell idea of a bagna cauda sauce and studded with thyme-roasted blackberries. Classics are sure-handed, like housemade pastas or heirloom tomato-burrata salads; desserts approach perfection."
"At this northern Italian gem, James Beard Award-winner Holly Smith tracks the season with dishes like rabbit braised in Arneis wine as well as a clearer focus on vegetarian and vegan options than at many Italian restaurants. Located in Kirkland and surrounded by trees, Cafe Juanita is a romantic respite from Seattle’s endless cranes and Amazon Prime packages, feeling at once nostalgic and new."
"This is a really pleasant bar/ restaurant for a bite to eat and amazing wine pairings. The drinks are abundant, the food is great and the service is phenomenal. Beer selection and wines are plenty."
"We had the amazing opportunity to host our rehearsal dinner at Cabernets and IPAs. It was absolutely the most amazing night!. The entire staff was fantast..."
"Magnolians are wild about their merry trattoria, swathed in the hues of clear skies and rosy sunsets and accented with the homespun sorts of tchotchkes that give restaurants soul. Not that Mondello needed help with soul. Native Sicilians run the place, bringing a background burble of Italian to the house, which, combined with the lingua franca of classic Italian food (housemade pastas and zuppe and meaty secondi), makes Magnolia Village feel like a neighborhood in Palermo."
"Magnolia residents have fallen for this little spot in the village, where owners Corino and Enza have been making hand-made pasta for years. One can usually tell how good a restaurant is by the quality of their simple dishes, and the utterly divine spaghetti carbonara with fresh pancetta is heavenly. View this post on Instagram"
"Best brick overnight pizza I’ve had in Seattle, and I’ve lived here my entire life 33 years. Pizza typically isn’t a Seattle specialty, but I’d put Verac..."
"It's hard to keep great places secreted away, and Toyoda's reputation has, for better or worse, become public knowledge. Better for business, yes, but worse for relaxed dining, as you can tell by the crowds that descend on the small eatery. Still, the food is a wonderful treat."
"Toyoda Sushi offers a very homey and cosy atmosphere with photos of past and happy customers all over the walls. This is a family run business and it is worth the trip to Lake City to try it out. Make sure to try their signature roll!"
"A few years back, Perfecte Rocher replaced his dining room tables with one long, curving black counter that reflects both candlelight and the desire to reimagine dinner as a one-on-one experience. Now, just 10 people assemble here at a time, in a semicircular arrangement that casts Rocher’s open kitchen as the stage, his progression of Valencian-Northwest flavors the players. Dinner as theater isn’t for everyone, but if you’re into it, these modernist Catalonian riffs make for a pretty astounding meal."
"If a bakery is an exercise in eating with your eyes first, then Cubes Baking Company is the kind of workout we can get behind. It’s all too easy to—with the unchecked voracity of a blue, cookie-obsessed puppet—pillage the shelves of this Wallingford bakeshop, a place where the likes of cupcakes and scones take on a boxy silhouette. Indeed the baked goods here are square."
"For bakeries the goal, usually, is to be expansive and multitude in your baked goods—sweet and savory; diminutive pastries and impressively tall cakes; styles and shapes of any sort. Yet Nothing Bundt Cakes banks on its eponymous treat (and dad-joke styled pun). At its Mill Creek and Issaquah locations a pastry case is stocked with domed bundt cakes in flavors like red velvet and lemon all piped with cream cheese frosting."
"WallingfordIn a compact brick storefront, baker Kara Burfeind builds fanciful creations out of a range of classic cake flavors like chocolate peanut butter and lemon cream. The SweetSide has a stable of go-to specialty designs, from a spray of tasteful frosting flowers to mermaid or macaron themes. But Burfeind’s happy to put her pastry degree to use on mega-custom cakes shaped like Lego characters or a fondant-wrapped calculator."
"Magnolians are wild about their merry trattoria, swathed in the hues of clear skies and rosy sunsets and accented with the homespun sorts of tchotchkes that give restaurants soul.

"For healthy eating with a Peruvian twist, Pink Salt is an ideal establishment. Located in the cozy Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Pink Salt is owned and operated by Peruvian born restaurateurs who specialize in their national flavors. For years, Peruvian food and drink has been regarded as having the best food in all of South America, blending a wide variety of cultures, including Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and African dishes."
"Expat-approved Peruvian fare like lomo saltado, ceviche, and pollo a la brasa (and a kids menu). Order online for takeout or third-party delivery."
"On a random stretch of Lake City Way is a pink shed that serves the best cannoli in the entire city. Kelly Cannoli is offering delivery of their ricotta-filled pastry shells through third-party apps, and you can stay updated on their hours and menu on their Facebook page."
"They use Toast as an ordering system so wait times vary drastically. The chicken Caesar is probably the best thing on the m..."
