On food and coffee and beer in the Pacific Northwest. While I was up north coffee and beer were missions in between the wedding, visiting friends, hiking and general tourism. I took tons of pictures and had opinions of everything, but alas – too much time has passed – so here are pictures and limited thoughts on what I ate and drank in Seattle and Portland.
The Food:
Salumi Artisan Cured Meats (Pioneer Square, Seattle) – amazing sandwiches!
Nextdoor Gastro Pub (Port Angeles)
Green Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant (International District, Seattle)
Pikes Place Market (Seattle)
Paseo Caribbean Restaurant (Fremont, Seattle). I was excited to try this place because I hadn’t had a Cuban sandwich before, while there was a long line and seemed very popular, I didn’t care for it.
Black Bottle (Belltown, Seattle). Unfortunately my pictures didn’t turn out, but this place has very good flatbread and cocktails.
Homemade Trader Joe’s Pizza (Capital Hill, Seattle)
Voodoo Doughnuts (Old Town Chinatown, Portland)
Good Taste Restaurant (Old Town Chinatown, Portland)
The Coffee: Lots of coffee was consumed. Most didn’t make into pictures, Caffe Vita and Caffe Ladro, for example.
Heart Roasters
Stumptown Coffee Roasters (of course!!)
The Beer and Liquor:
Buckman Botanical Brewery was my favorite of all the breweries we visited.
