The post-Portland stop over

After some advice from friends, Charles and I decided to add a three day stop over in Seattle post-Portland. Strangely enough, I've had a far more difficult time pinning down things to do in Seattle than Portland. So if you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them left in the comments.

Here's what I've got so far food wise:
Here are some great posts I'm going to keep referring to:

Ella and I had a lovely time in Seattle for our chick weekend a couple of years ago. Highlights were, yes, Salumi...and pie from Dahlia, and a memorable dinner at Tavolata. http://foodiesuztravels.wordpress.com/seattle/

Also, this! http://creamandsugar.ca/packing-list-seattle/

Thanks, Sue. Definitely remember your 'chick weekend' post. I'll have to re-visit.

Cream and Sugar's 'Packing List' looks fantastic! I was reading it yesterday. I'm in for the ice cream spot, but I'm still not sure about the Tom Douglas restos... the pizza at Serious Pie does sound amazing though.

Since we're staying in Capitol Hill, I'm hoping we'll also find some of the random charming-ness that everyone keeps telling me I'll love about Seattle.

For a cheap lunch, have the Drunken chicken baguette at Baguette Box in Capital Hill. Really good. $6.75

You need to have dinner at Flying Fish. They have the most incredible black pepper crab, it's highly addictive and probably the best thing I've ever eaten.

Andre - That sounds right up our alley. Thanks for that!

Anon - Wow! It must be incredible. Definitely a possible stop.

It was actually my super cool winemaker from Efeste that took my whole sales team to Flying Fish while we were in Washington on Business. If you can't trust a winemaker to pick fantastic food who can you trust? :)

I have heard nothing but good things about the pizza restaurant Delancey. It's owned by the husband of well-known blogger Molly of Orangette. Sounds like an awesome trip - I'm jealous!

Marianne said...

Thanks, Isabelle. Delancey looks great - perfect for Sunday evening dinner. We're really looking forward to it, so hopefully it lives up to all our expectations!
