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 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.
Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar in Seattle's Pioneer Square is the on-counter outpost of the 135-year Samish Bay farm: half-shells, geoduck crudo, manila clams.
OrderA dozen Olympias and Kumamotos from the farm, with a glass of grower's Champagne.
TipHappy hour 16:00-17:00 drops the oysters to $1.75 each; the Occidental location is the largest and quietest of the three.
Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar Melrose in Seattle's Capitol Hill is the Capitol Hill outpost inside Melrose Market: a marble bar, Samish Bay oysters.
OrderHalf-shell oyster flight with the steamed manilas in white wine, butter and parsley.
TipWalk in for the marble bar; the back room books on Tock and turns slower.
Wataru in Seattle's Ravenna is the 2015 edomae omakase counter: aged nigiri, Toyosu-sourced fish, and a 10-seat bar that runs two seatings a night.
OrderThe 14-course omakase at the bar; Wataru flies the centrepiece fish from Toyosu Market in Tokyo.
TipTock booking opens at midnight three weeks out; the second seating at 19:30 is easier than the 17:00.
