Fine dining finds
Foodies and those looking for a special night on the town should find just the thing among a selection of Seattle's top-end establishments.
Andaluca (Downtown)
This is an intimate and romantic spot to enjoy dishes with a Mediterranean and Northwest flair. Try one of the celebrated classic martinis to start, either here or at the sister bar, Oliver's.
Cafe Juanita (Kirkland)
Plan for an exquisite evening of rich, scrumptious food in a delightful Eastside dinner-house setting. The sea scallops, rabbit, risotto and steak are all highly recommended.
Campagne (Downtown)
Need a glamorous, upscale French restaurant with reliably exquisite food for an anniversary dinner -- or maybe a proposal? Campagne's your place.
Canlis Restaurant (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Canlis is the place to go when you want to plan a really, truly special experience (marriage proposals, big anniversaries, etc.). The food, service and setting are all spectacular.
Earth & Ocean (Downtown)
Seattle's current crop of "it" ingredients are well represented (foie gras, carnaroli rice, blood oranges), as is local geography (Dungeness crab, Penn Cove mussels, Samish Bay gouda).
Le Gourmand Restaurant (Ballard/Crown Hill)
You get what you pay for at Ballard's incongruous and excellent Le Gourmand, a pricey, romantic little place where food really is an art form. The place is best of breed.
Rover's (Madison Park/Madrona)
If you got the money, honey (at least a couple hundred dollars for dinner for two), they've got the time to serve up a six- or nine-course meal that'll make your head spin.
