We've lived in Seattle for 20 years and have navigated our way through the many restaurants and cafes that Seattle has to offer. Here are our favorites.

Bastille Restaurant in Ballard

The lamb burger is the best burger in town. They grow organic salad greens on their rooftop garden. Fun, beautiful space. One of the best brunches too.

Caffe Fiore in Ballard

Super friendly staff, delicious organic coffee drinks and a serene, comfortable environment in the heart of Ballard. A nice place to hang on a rainy day.

Sambar Bar & Lounge in Ballard

Okay, I'll share this secret with you. Sambar is a local hotspot and secret hideaway. It can barely fit 20 people; however, in the summer, there's an outdoor patio that's really lovely. Decor is gorgeous, drinks are creative and food is divine.

They always use fresh, local ingredients. The food is close to perfection and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The Corson Building

A very unique experience. Family style dining. One of Seattle's most famous chefs uses fresh and local ingredients. Brunch too.

Paseo Caribbean Restaurant

Ask any local about Paseo and they will tell you it's one of their favorite restaurants. A small, hole-in-the wall Caribbean restaurant that is consistently delicious!

Veraci Pizza in Ballard

Family owned pizza place. Make sure you order a whole pizza since by-the-slice sometimes doesn't translate the flavors as well as a piping hot one can. so good!

Root Table

A small, cozy restaurant that's practically hidden from the street. Once inside, they have great service and really delicious Asian cuisine. Though they don't have a kids menu, they are very kid-friendly.
