by Hi,
Lots of folks have asked me about where to eat while at LISA this week. Here are a few ideas…
Walking Distance
Breakfast:
Try the Specialty Cafe on 1400 5th Ave just a bit south of the Hotel.
Lunch:
Matts in the Market at 94 Pike St in the Pike Place Market.
Space Needle (This is a longer walk and the food is so-so but the view from the spinning restaurant is incredible so go for lunch and not dinner)
Dinner:
Middle Eastern: Falafel King at 1509 1st Ave down on the waterfront.
Asian: Wild Ginger at 1401 3rd Ave towards the waterfront
Italian: Tulio Ristorante at 1100 5th Ave
Italian: The Pink Door at 1919 Post Alley by the waterfront
Japanese: Benihana at 1200 5th Ave. This is one where they cook the meal in front of you so it is best for a group of 4 or more
Eclectic: Purple Cafe at 1225 4th Ave
French: Cafe Campagne 1600 Post Alley by Pike Street Market
Seafood: Etta's Seafood at 2020 Western Ave down by the waterfront.
Chowder: Pike Place Chowder at 1530 Post Alley down by the waterfront
Steak House: Metropolitan Grill at 820 2nd Ave
Sushi: Shiro's Sushi at 2401 2nd Ave (this is a longer walk and requires reservations, but very good)
French: Le Pichet at 1933 1st Ave (longer walk)
If you can drive try out these places:
Salty's on Alki. This has a great view of the city as it is in West Seattle with a view back to the city.
Canlis: Great food, but also very, very expensive
cheers,
