Poppy
In 2012, Seattle Magazine named Poppy Seattle’s best Northwest cuisine restaurant, a well-deserved accolade for this inventive dining mecca in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Created by chef Jerry Traunfeld (formerly of the equally acclaimed Herbfarm restaurant in Woodinville), Poppy presents a fresh take on the Indian thali, a compartmentalized platter holding various dishes with many different tastes. Traunfeld uses local seasonal products to create his daily thalis. You might order one that features crisp-skin king salmon with pinot noir-fennel sauce as a main dish, complemented by carrot-lemon soup with dukkah; cucumber, black lentil and sumac salad; peppermint snap peas; and fennel and shiso kimchi. The medley of textures, herbs and spices is surprising and satisfying.
Shiro’s Sushi Restaurant
Sushi lovers, whether they’re locals or businessmen from Tokyo, flock to Shiros in Belltown because, quite simply, it serves the best sushi in Seattle. Sushi master and local legend Shiro Kashiba serves only the finest, freshest fish to his customers; you will never taste anything but the best here. For a sumptuous repast, order the chef’s selection of omakase sushi or sashimi. Tempura and other traditional Japanese favorites are also available. One of Shiro’s signature dishes is broiled black cod kasuzuke.
