This eatery in Pike Place Market should be on every food enthusiast's radar. Don’t miss chef/owner Kevin Davis’s amazing Caviar Pie.

They call it Korean/French fusion; I just call it good food. Don’t miss the cornbread with preserved garlic and smoked Gouda cheese.

One of the most iconic markets in the country. I could spend a month here. Be sure to check out Mee Sum Pastry, Gourmet Dog Japon and the Oriental Mart Grocery and Kitchenette.

An authentic tapas restaurant with tons of choices and a great wine list to boot.

A small place with big flavors, they even make their own cheese in-house. The pizza of the day and the gnocchi are always good picks.

When it comes to Seattle’s food scene, it’s all about Tom Douglas. Food and Wine named Dahlia Lounge the "Quintessential Seattle" restaurant in 1999...well over a decade later, that still rings true.

Traditional Japanese cuisine. This is the real deal.

Staying in this hotel you'll feel like royalty. Great service and ornate décor.

Heaven for coffee fanatics. These guys treat a cup of Joe like a sommelier treats a bottle of fine wine. They experiment with brewing methods, different grinds, temperatures and more. Prepared to have your mind blown.

Melt in your mouth dishes and creative combinations like flan with salmon roe got this Seattle restaurant a 2009 James Beard nomination.

An “organic, sustainable” restaurant that makes food that tastes as good as it is for the planet. Tree huggers & food lovers rejoice!

The home base of Mario Batali's dad's cured Italian meats. C’mon! How cool is that?!

Located downtown, but out of the hustle and bustle, it's a great hotel to get a good night's sleep. Did I mention they have 400-count Egyptian cotton linens? Zzzzzz.

Hotel 1000 has thought of everything when it comes to a good hotel. Avid golfer? Try their virtual golf course. Book worm? Check out their library.

Canlis is a family owned restaurant that opened in 1950. The talent for creating outstanding food must be a family trait.

If you see a long line in the streets of Seattle you can bet Marination is on the other end. Their tacos and sliders are great. I love the spicy pork tacos.

I’m a pizza freak, and Tom Douglas does some of the country’s best here. Love the blistery, hand-made crusts, and the house-cured guanciale pie with baby arugula and two eggs (you gotta dunk the crust) is worth the airfare to Seattle alone.

Modern. Clean. Simple.

I hated this hotel. Very noisy, hot and stuffy.

This is the place to go for oysters.
