This isn't everywhere we ate but these are the standouts...
We managed to get a last-minute rezzie at Canlis which was about 1/2 mile from our Airbnb. I was stalking it for months and never was able to get a spot. But persistence paid off because a few days before we left I managed to snag a table. It's fine dining and worth every penny, even if the food was just kinda meh. But I still recommend it for a couple of reasons. One, they had just gotten a new chef behind the stick and I think she was still trying to find her footing a little bit. I'm certain they've figured it out. Two, the service is impeccable. Their staff is trained so well and they really go above and beyond. They found out we were foodies and the whole kitchen staff gave us recs on where to go with our kids, etc. It was so cool that they did that for us. And three, the room is gorgeous. The view is amazing. They don't make 'em like that anymore. It's a really special place. Their Canlis salad (recipe here) is pretty famous and it was pretty dang good.
I found Beth's Cafe after an exhaustive search for a breakfast spot that wasn't just coffee and pastry. (Imagine that, Seattle has a lot of coffee places.


Of course, we did the famous Seattle Pike Place Market. That place is amazing. Don't forget to check out the gum wall! We had an Airbnb so we were able to buy some fresh af halibut cheeks. We poached them at home and they were absolutely amazing. It doesn't look like much but this was one of the best meals we ate while we were there. And yeah you work with what you've got in an Airbnb kitchen, so don't judge me too hard...
