Dahlia Lounge
Of Seattle superchef Tom Douglas’s five restaurants in town, this one, with its vermilion walls, cozy booths and paintings by noted Northwestern artists, is the one to try first: it’s a pioneer of modern Northwestern cuisine, which combines fresh regional seafood and produce with Asian influences. Don’t miss Douglas’s eclectic sampling of local oysters (nothing tastes more like the Northwest!), classic crab cakes and famous coconut cream pie. There is also a wonderful selection of local wines (Washington is now the second-largest wine region in the country), and the waiters know lots about them, so ask their opinion before you sample a few.

The Georgian
With towering ceilings, floating glass chandeliers and seven-course options, the Fairmont Hotel’s Old World restaurant is one of the city’s most formal establishments. Head chef Gavin Stephenson trained at Le Cordon Bleu and his Northwest cuisine is French-inspired: dishes include grilled halibut chop with a warm morel and pea vine salad, oysters served in a caviar mignonette, and basil wrapped roasted lamb loin. A testament to Seattle’s laid-back vibe: despite the dining room’s grandeur, the Georgian’s dress code does not require jackets.
