Seattle restaurant recommendations? About This Page:

I'll have 2 1/2 days in Seattle before the Alaska cruise on 7/30, staying at the Fairmont, downtown. Anyone have any recommendations for eating in this area? I'm a vegetarian and a place that serves meals made from local ingredients would be great. I also love Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine. I've been searching on-line but thought I'd ask here for any personal favorites. Thanks!

Vegetarian... Quite a challenge for me, since I focus on seafood in coastal cities, and I haven't eaten in the immediate area of the Fairmont. If you make it to the Pike Place Market, Piroshki Piroshki has a fair number of meatless options. I took a cabbage piroshki with me on the train to Portland. Very satisfying (lets hope they didn't use animal fat). While it, too, is out-of-neighborhood (Queen Anne), I can heartily endorse Toulouse Petit. Though I got the ribeye steak on the prix-fixe menu, check their menus at the web site, they have a fair number of veg options.

Thanks, Dave! I'll check into those options. A cabbage piroshki for lunch sounds yummy to me (as you say, as long as it really is vegetarian). I did find a place at Pike's Market called, I think, Pan Africa, that has veg-friendly items, and Cafe Flora is supposed to be one of the best veg restaurants in the country. I was hoping to focus on Pacific Rim-type cuisine, and I'm always hearing that Seattle is a mecca for vegetarians!

You should have no problem finding vegetarian options. My parents used to live near Fairmont, and though I can't remember a specific place to eat, I remember there were a lot of options and all very good.

Thanks! That's what I hear and I'm excited to try a bunch of places. I figure, if there are lots of vegetarians in the area any good restaurant will have veg options.

Thanks. Interesting that the "New York Deli" is listed and has many vegan offerings. Definitely a Seattle twist on a NYC deli!
