Seattle Restaurants

As anyone who has watched the classic comedy show Frasier will know that Seattle restaurants offer you some of the best cuisine in the whole world, with different restaurants celebrating the various cultures of people that live in the city to ensure that no matter what kind of food you like, you will be able to dine out in style in Seattle.

Thanks to its location amidst some of the best farmland in the USA, and its proximity to the ocean, Seattle restaurants pride themselves on the quality and freshness of the food that they offer. The chances are, that most vegetables will have been harvested the same week as you eat them, while fish will generally get onto the table the same day as it is caught, meaning that you can enjoy the full flavors of your dishes like never before.

Some of the best restaurants in the city offer the locally caught salmon that flood the rivers during the spawning season, and lines of men along the river catching the fish as they swim up river are a common sight during the spring. The salmon is some of the best fish that you will ever taste, and is served in a wide variety of different ways in different restaurants, although the quality is generally so good that the plainer the cooking the better!

One of Seattle’s most famous restaurants is located in the iconic Space Needle – the futuristic building that overlooks the city and looks like something from the Jetsons. While an evening meal in the space needle does not come cheap, and in all honesty is not the best cuisine that you can experience in Seattle, the whole experience of watching the city below you pass slowly by as you dine is a truly unforgettable one that you will be glad you paid for. Book well in advance if you want to eat in the Seattle restaurant at the top of the Space Needle, as demand is always high – particularly at the weekend, when it can be booked up months in advance. The romantic atmosphere in the restaurant means that it is the most popular place to propose in the city, so expect at least one round of applause to ripple around the dining area while you eat when some one pops the question.
