Best Fast Food Restaurants in Bellevue

"Where they are: Puget Sound metropolitan corridorWhy you need them: Ivar’s threads the difficult needle of seafood in a fast food setting: It takes itself only just seriously enough that you trust them with all of your chowder needs, but also recognizes that clams are just inherently funny. Since 1938, Washingtonians have depended on Ivar Haglund’s restaurants for silly seafood puns, creative marketing that embraced the quirky Northwest, and a steaming, delicious bowl of clam chowder at a moment’s notice. While the company’s two full-service establishments serve tourist-friendly fare with a view and price tag that wow, the 19 seafood bars (concession stands in local stadiums) keep the locals happy as clams.What to get: You’re here for the chowder."

"A post shared by Laurie🇺🇸➡️🇹🇭 (@thebunchabroad) on Jan 12, 2019 at 4:10am PST. A nautical-themed restaurant, with a diner feel at the same time, Ivan’s Fish Bar is the place to go if you’re craving some classic seafood snacks such as fish and chips, clam chowder, and even french fries that come with salmon. Its location is also quite convenient because it’s right next to the pier."

"Located on Pier 54, the building and views are half the fun. It’s an icon, one of the classic Seattle landmarks. It’s a restaurant that’s been around since 1938, and it still serves mouthwatering meals."

"This small shop in Greenwood offers a variety of bubble tea in addition to its robust selection of gluten-free street food. Its popular “Panda Milk” drink features a cup of milk that is painted with stripes of black sesame syrup, topped off with a cream cheese-based salted milk cap. This incredibly rich and creamy drink delivers strong on the nutty, fragrant notes of black sesame, and pairs well with the shop’s various snacks, such as its sesame scallion noodles and fried chicken skins."

"Below Queen Anne Hill at the northern fringe of Seattle’s downtown, the Seattle Center is a cultural, arts and entertainment zone on 74 acres. This Modernist cityscape was all built for the 1962 World’s Fair, which gave a shot in the arm to the city’s economy and cultural life, and pulled in more than 2.3 million visitors. The Seattle Center’s emblem is the Space Needle, which we’ll come to next, but as we’ll see there’s a lot more packed onto the site, from museums to performing arts venues and the 18,600-seater KeyArena."

"Last but not least, there's the always entertaining Seattle Center which is home to the iconic Space Needle. However, as impressive as it is, there's a lot more to see and in this Seattle park than just riding to the top of the space needle. There's the fabulous Chihuly Garden and Glass with stunning glass sculptures and there's the international fountain which you can dart between shoots of cold water on a hot summer's day."

"The Seattle Center is an active civic, arts and family gathering place and the place to experience some of the best art and culture in Seattle with kids. It features more than 30 cultural, educational, sports and entertainment organizations in the uptown Arts & Cultural District. I would definitely say don’t miss this area."

"Sports fans should take a tour at CenturyLink Field or Safeco Field. Once you’ve worked up an appetite again, go for a casual meal at Canton Wonton House or take your time at Red Lantern."

"Many important architectural heirlooms are concentrated in Pioneer Sq, the district that sprang up in the wake of the 1889 Great Fire. Instantly recognizable by its handsome redbrick buildings, the neighborhood's predominant architectural style is Richardsonian Romanesque, strongly influenced by America's Chicago School."

"Once you get off the boat head straight up the Ferry Walkway to 1st then turn right and go 2 blocks to Pioneer Square. This lovely little green scape is surrounded by late 1800’s Romanesque Revival style buildings, with a plaza full of quaint bistro tables & bocce ball courts."

"There are currently three locations throughout the city, but we recommend with our two day itinerary of Seattle to head to the Pioneer Square location to stay on track. Explore Pioneer Square"

"This bright, lively Central District establishment has quickly gained national recognition for its pairing of low-intervention wines and nouvelle French cuisine centered around seafood (the name means “sea urchin,” after all). The cozy, inviting atmosphere is a perfect setting for visually appealing dishes, carefully arranged with an artist’s touch and just as delicious. The menu shifts, but scallops always fit the bill, whether they’re raw from Alaska and served with radishes in a charred onion and seaweed broth or pink scallops from Washington cooked simply with white wine and thyme."

"A legit hit of Paris in the Central District, L’Oursin glows with pendant lights and Parisian signs, in an unfussy room whose populated bar and open kitchen crook an alluring finger from the street. Chef and co-owner J. J. Proville grew up mostly in France and knows its subtleties, in dishes like a fathomless bouillabaisse with Northwest shellfish under a pastry crust or a tartine of house-smoked bacon with greens on charred brioche."

"A two-person kit that requires “minimal cooking” will yield shrimp cocktail, goat cheese salad, duck confit with duck fat potatoes, some greens (okay, they’re braised in bacon) and housemade chocolate ice cream. Pick up on the 13th or 14th."

"Thierry Rautureau’s bistro serves up French classics—velvet chicken liver mousse, a stunning boeuf bourguignon—served with more savoir-faire than their prices would suggest. (The souffle potato crisps, a labor-intensive appetizer yielding a crop of puffy fries with almost creamy interiors and impossibly crispy crusts, may be the best appetizer in the city.) Thus the two-room place, low-lit with Moroccan lamps, is perpetually packed and fizzy as a sexy cocktail party in full roar; the unofficial Third Place for the well-heeled neighborhoods surrounding the Madison Valley."

"A lakeside restaurant at Carillon Point, with a Franco-corporate sheen and sweeping views over the marina. All the bistro staples are here—coq au vin, moules frites, bouillabaisse..."

"Maximalism reigns in chef Maximillian Petty’s 24-seat dining room atop Queen Anne hill. Dishes like his crispy pig head candy bar reveal a chef able to master a multitude of moving parts. Petty’s combo of cerebral wit and skill is all over the menu—which just changed to a tasting menu­–only format on September 1, since he and wife Jennifer opened their more casual Eden Hill Provisions down the street."

"Avant-garde cuisine can be surprisingly hard to find in Seattle, but Eden Hill is holding down the fort quite well atop Queen Anne, with playful creations like the pig’s head candy bar or foie gras mousse cake batter spilling out of a bowl. Only 18 seats are available for nightly reservations at this light, floral-specked restaurant, which makes getting a seat feel that much more special."

"website | 2209 Queen Anne Ave N (Queen Anne) | cuisine: Pacific Northwest. This is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Seattle for birthdays and anniversaries. During non-pandemic times you’re led through a tasting menu with special little touches from the staff."

"Cinque Terre Ristorante, a sleek downtown eatery owned by three Italian brothers, specializes in seafood pasta recipes from the Italian Riviera. From the oyster bar offering raw No..."
