- MMarybethSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024Estelle’s is simply great. The food is creative and never fails to impress. The cocktails are simply brilliant. The staff at Estelle’s are friendly, knowledgeable and work as a great team. The size, informality and sense of casual elegance is very appealing. Estelle’s has become our favorite restaurant to take friends to who visit us from out of town and is always a wonderful treat for us too. Nadine, who has been our server the last few times we’ve been there, is outstanding. She a charming and gracious woman who truly enhances the experience of dining. Not to mention her depth of knowledge and experience. Gray, at the bar, is an performer as well as a talented mixologist. The menu at Estelle’s is small, but each dish is so well done and distinctive it is very hard to have a favorite! A new-to-us dish that wowed us on our most recent visit was the ‘chicken liver mousse coastal huckleberry & chive with sunflower sourdough’ omg! We’ll be back soon again and highly recommend it.More infoEstellePrice: Moderate• American• Bellingham•4.6

So while the sunshine doesn’t last long in the Emerald City, as summer inches closer, here are a few of the best places in the city to visit for excellent food and drinks outside.

Storied restaurants, from Canlis, the pinnacle of Pacific Northwestern fine-dining, to chic modern hangouts like the Walrus and the Carpenter, prove Seattle’s range and prowess.

Discover Orcas Island
Known as the "Gem of the San Juans," Orcas Island in Northern Washington State is where fresh produce and homegrown fruits like prunes are prominently featured in restaurants serving contemporary American fare. After watching the sun set off of Puget Sound following a day of kayaking or hiking, you may find that a meal of fried chicken with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, roast broccoli with jalapeño honey and a buttermilk biscuit in milk gravy hits the spot. Fresh seafood is, of course, popular in this area, with oysters shucked at the bar, pesto-crusted local halibut or jumbo spot prawn skewers filling plates in small cafés and seaside diners here. Top off your meal with something sweet like a tropical soufflé made with passion fruit.
