\nMy personal favorite of celebrity chef Tom Douglas’ local restaurants. I have never had a bad experience at PK. Highly recommended.
\n2030 5th Ave, Seattle – (206) 448-2001<\/a><\/p>\n
\nA local original and favorite. Great location and atmosphere.
\n1401 3rd Ave, Seattle – (206) 623-4450<\/a><\/p>\n
\nGreat Vietnamese food and some of the best vegetarian options in the city. Can be found in the International District.
\n418 8th Ave S, Seattle – (206) 340-1388<\/a><\/p>\n
\nUpscale pub bistro fare on the fringes of Pioneer Square. I have not had a bad meal or beer here.
