Recommended Places to Eat in Downtown Seattle

The Pacific Northwest is known for its delicious and fresh foodstuffs, from salmon and shellfish to berries and apples. It is also a place that has drawn folks from around the world, all contributing to the local food culture. Downtown Seattle offers many opportunities to enjoy both local and international cuisine in elegant or casual settings. Your dining options are many and are constantly changing. Here are my personal recommendations for downtown Seattle restaurants where I know you'll enjoy a quality dining experience.
