More restaurants in Seattle

Maneki ★ 4.5

$$ JapaneseInternational District

Maneki in Seattle's International District is the oldest Japanese restaurant on the West Coast: opened in 1904, surviving wartime internment.

OrderThe geoduck sashimi if it is on the board, otherwise the chef's nigiri set with a tatami room.

TipReserve a tatami room four to six weeks ahead; the bar runs walk-in but the room shapes the meal.

Ivar's Acres of Clams ★ 4.0

$$ Pacific Northwest SeafoodDowntown

Ivar's Acres of Clams in Seattle on Pier 54 is Ivar Haglund's 1946 waterfront fish house, a wood-walled dining room over Elliott Bay with pan-fried oysters.

OrderPan-fried Olympia oysters with the alderwood-smoked salmon plate at a window table.

TipThe Pier 54 fish bar to the side is the cheap counter: same clams, lower price, ferry views.

The Boat ★ 4.7

$ VietnameseInternational District

The Boat in Seattle's Little Saigon is the original Pho Bac since 1982: the city's first pho restaurant, still a red boat-shaped building at 13th and Jackson.

OrderThe original Pho Bac tai with rare flank, or the com ga mam toi the kids put on the menu.

TipCash and card, walk-in only; arrive at 11:30 or after 14:00 to skip the line through the parking lot.

Phnom Penh Noodle House ★ 4.4

$$ CambodianInternational District

Phnom Penh Noodle House in Seattle's International District is the Sam family's 1987 Cambodian kitchen: hu tieu, bai sach chrouk and cha houy teuk.

OrderThe hu tieu noodle soup with pork and prawn, and the bai sach chrouk grilled pork rice plate.

TipClosed Monday and Tuesday; the lunch crowd lines up at 11:00 and the kitchen sells out of bai sach chrouk by 14:00.

Toulouse Petit ★ 4.0

$$$ Cajun CreoleQueen Anne

Toulouse Petit in Seattle's Lower Queen Anne is the city's largest Cajun-Creole kitchen: 200 covers, beignets and chicory coffee at breakfast.

OrderThe bouillabaisse with the Mardi Gras jambalaya for the table, or just beignets at the bar.

TipThe 09:00-11:00 breakfast service is the secret deal: beignets and eggs cardinal, fewer than 12 covers full.

Damn the Weather ★ 4.2

$$ New American GastropubPioneer Square

Damn the Weather in Seattle's Pioneer Square is the cocktail-driven gastropub since 2013: a brick-walled room, a 24-seat bar, kitchen open until midnight.

OrderThe cheeseburger and a Sazerac, in that order; the kitchen runs late on a Sunday.

TipMondays the cocktail list goes half price after 21:00; Sundays the kitchen takes the day off.
