Another one of the best Seattle restaurants that won’t cost you a lot of money is Agua Verde in the University District.

With five different types of tacos to choose from, and a number of other delicious entrees, your experience is heightened by the fantastic decor and can be made complete if you reserve canoeing or kayaking on the water a few weeks in advance.

If you’re willing to spend just a little bit more money on finding one of the best Seattle restaurants, check out Kingfish Cafe in Capitol Hill. Seattle is one of the more health conscious cities in the nation, but there are always substantial lines out the door of this soul food style Cajun eatery. You can get an authentic New Orleans meal by ordering Miss ChooChoo’s Ribeye with cornbread and a lemonade, followed up by a dessert of chocolate cake and their legendary juleps. Quinn’s is another restaurant on Capitol Hill, specializing in unique takes on the standard hamburger and fries. Owned by Scott and Heather Staples, this pub-style eatery has a mismatched but surprisingly attractive decor inside the building that dates back to 1910. If you’re a stickler for the classics, try their hamburger and fries, but if you want a new twist on an old original, taste their wild board sloppy joes. Another one of the best Seattle restaurants, the Pink Door, offers a very unique atmosphere in the downtown district. Diners, to whom the gluten-free are catered, will enjoy not just outdoor dining and live music, but also a nightly cabaret and a trapeze artist that swings over the diners. Their specialties are the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Penn Cove mussels and clams.

Finally, for the upper echelon of Seattle eating, make reservations at the upscale Ray’s Boathouse in Ballard. Although this Seattle classic has received a lot of hype, it’s not overrated. Offering both cafe and dining room seating, Ray’s Boathouse specializes in northwest seafood. A trip to Seattle wouldn’t be complete without stopping by this famed eatery.
