Favorite Seattle Restaurants that I've Never Been To

Christy and I have lived in Seattle for almost 7 months now and have had fun eating at some delicious restaurants. I have a growing list of restaurants that I've heard of and can't wait to try, but haven't been to yet. We love going to restaurants with our friends and family, so I hope you all get the chance to come visit us so we can create new memories at these fine establishments (and see you too I guess, but mostly as an excuse to eat good food).

Coffee
Tougo Coffee Co.: "It's our goal at Tougo Coffee Co. to embrace our neighborhood and the diversity within it. And we hope to achieve this by providing a comfortable, vibrant atmosphere for all to enjoy."




Seafood
Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar: "Seastar provides guests with an amazing array of freshly prepared seafood, great steaks, poultry, pastas and raw bar items." Located above Whole Foods and opens next week. Check out the review from South Lake Union Blog




German
Feierabend: "Here at Feierabend, our goal is to bring a taste of Germany to Seattle. All of our 18 biers on tap are imported from Germany and served in their appropriate glass. Our food is a pleasant combination of traditional German cuisine with a Northwest touch." Located a few blocks north of REI.


Spanish-esque
Tango Restaurant and Lounge: "The tango dance was flavored by ingredients of dance from Spain, Cuba and South America. At Tango Restaurant we use the history of the tango as a guide for our latin infused food and drink. Taste our Spanish tapas, Cuban mojitos or South American ceviche and enjoy!" Located between Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle.



Italian
Spinasse: "Our menu is directly inspired from the region of Piedmont. We encourage guests to enjoy our family style menus, or simply dine a la carte. We are true to the cooking techniques and traditions of the region. That said, we source as much local organic product as possible. We believe in the core simplicity and beauty of our ingredients. We also pride ourselves on continually honing artisan skills in the production of hand made pasta, butchery, salumi, vinegars, and other specialties." Located in Capitol Hill between Pike and Pine.




Wine Bar
Purple Café: "We are a multifaceted food and wine concept that merges casual sophistication with an upbeat metropolitan style. We feature a global wine selection coupled with a menu that blends classic American styles, seasonal northwest ingredients and Mediterranean themes. The atmosphere is often described as an urban retreat with rustic elements." Located downtown by Fairmont Olympic Hotel (Shuckers).

Big Brother & SIL - sounds marvelous, I just wanted to let you know I'll be coming to visit sometime in the next 6-36 months to take advantage of your wonderful finds (esp. Purple, which is why I'd have to wait 36 months or that German place :)

Man, you certainly have good taste, Carl, and looks like you've got some work cut out for you. Would you be interested in some company as you make a tour of these fine dining establishments?
