Boasting one of the country’s most creative and diverse dining scenes, Seattle is dedicated to sourcing locally—from land to sea. Storied restaurants, from Canlis, the pinnacle of Pacific Northwestern fine-dining, to chic modern hangouts like the Walrus and the Carpenter, prove Seattle’s range and prowess. And even as the city’s changed over the last decade, growing and evolving under a massive tech boom, its soul remains as vibrant and bold as ever.

Whether it’s a margherita pizza or sashimi you seek, here are the best places by cuisine type, according to our tastemakers.
Discover Lower Queen Anne
A sophisticated downtown anchored by the Seattle Center and the Space Needle, the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle is a hub of sports arenas, live music venues and museums. With so much to do, it’s no surprise that this urban oasis is also a culinary mecca with over 100 restaurants, bars and fast-casual dining options within easy walking distance of the attractions. Try freshly caught Pacific Ocean oysters or upscale diner fare. For a more casual yet trendy option, visit the many food truck pods offering street food that hearkens back to Seattle Center’s World Fair origins. The Lower Queen Anne area is rich in culinary adventure. Everyone should try a Seattle dog or fresh shucked clams.
