Before you ’re ready to say goodby to dusty noodle and picnic dinners , we ’ve scram a few repast that you ’ve just get to get in before the conclusion of summertime .
Everything Croissant
Standard Bakery
The Cronut ™ is so 2013 , and even the cretzel is more than a year old . This might not have as catchy a portmanteau - based name , but the croissant crossed with an everything bagel rival its more smartly make friend for best intercrossed pastry . The crispy croissant is sprinkled with the spice from an everything beigel , slice open , and spread with cream cheese before being closed back up and put on sale .
The OG
Sunset Fried Chicken
This was the summer of fried crybaby . And as novel restaurants , erstwhile haunt , and specialty shops battled it out for sandwich supremacy , Monica Dimas ’ store - within - a - store at Rachel ’s Ginger Beer rose to the top like the crispy shrapnel in a deep fryer . cuddle into a toasty bun with Anethum graveolens jam and tangy coleslaw , this is the form of sandwich whose crunch scream “ summertime ! ”
Fried oysters
Walrus and the Carpenter
Pull up a chair at Walrus ’ airy outdoor seating orbit and order a shell of the most gluttonous means to corrode bivalves : deep - electrocute and served with a side of cilantro aioli .
Salmon Mazemen
Ramen Bushi-Do
Japan encounter the Northwest in this unique summer peculiarity . Though it come out looking like a composed Cobb salad , hiding underneath the chunks of Salmon River , slices of green onion , strings of cucumber , and third power of tomato are boneheaded house - made spinach noodle . The whole lot comes dressed in a slenderly sweet sauce , ready to be mixed , slurp , and savored .
Walkaround cup
Ellenos Yogurt
Ellenos is to other yogurt what Simone Biles is to other gymnasts : sure , they ’re competing in the same sportswoman , but they ’re not playing the same plot . Other yoghourt are flip - flop around in containers on grocery store shelves while Ellenos is sticking the landing in an open - top off cup , dish up like an frappe cream sundae for you to eat as you graze around at Pike Place , the U - District farmers market , or their other storefront locations .
Poke bowl
45th Stop and Shop & Poke Bar
Poke , the Hawaiian - style tender fish salad , has taken the summertime by storm , and you do n’t want to miss your chance to remain firm in line at a mini market to taste what ’s in your Instagram . Also , it ’s fresh , coolheaded , and sanitary . Like summertime … but more real , and in a bowl .
British fish & chips
Nosh the Truck
WhenThe Seattle Timesannounced the best fish & chips in Ithiel Town , the only people resist were those who had n’t yet availed themselves of Nosh ’s beer - battered bounty . The only thing keeping these from being a perfect carbon copy of what you ’d get at a British chippy is that they ’re better . An immaculate Pacific cod fillet , mint mushy peas , and grown fatty fries , all envelop up in faux paper .
S’mores Fun
SUSU Rolled Ice Cream
If you opine about noodle when you see “ Tai street food for thought , ” you ’re doing it wrong : we ’re talking sparkler emollient now . SUSU brings the streetside treat to Seattle , pouring an shabu pick al-Qaeda onto a flat griddle , then scraping it off in scrolls and adding originative toppings . In the S’mores Fun , you ’ll get graham cracker , chocolate syrup decant over top , and a garnish of shaved chocolate and marshmallows . Just like camping , but with 100 % less glow marshmallow , dirt , and bear .
Whole Hog
Humble Pie
If we were this pizza , humble is the last affair we ’d be . It comes with prosciutto , pull pork , and bacon , plus it ’s served at a place with sizable outdoor seating and picnic - style bench , making it the perfect summer knack . Say hi to the chickens that live on in the chicken coop ( and supply eggs to the eating house ) while you ’re pledge local beer and wait on your pie .
Shiso geoduck
Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar
There ’s no more avoid it : if you ’re going to live on in Seattle , you ’ve got to try a geoduck . Yup , that jumbo clam with the suspicious name that nobody can write about without mentioning its resemblance to manlike genitalia . Good thing in addition to being unearthly , it ’s toothsome : clean , crisp , imbued with the essence of the sea . Amazing when drizzle with shiso oil and dish up with lemon zest , as it is at Taylor Shellfish ’s huitre bars .
Beef ribs
Jack’s BBQ
Put it on your calendar ( Tuesdays only ) . coiffe an alarm ( it begin at 5 pm ) . Do n’t be late ( they run out ) . amount hungry ( they ’re about the size of a toddler ) . put a Shiner Bock ( it ’s basically Texas here ) .
Beef fat fries
Butcher’s Table
What happens when a chophouse re - invents the French fry ? Something nigh to what would happen if a McDonald ’s hasheesh brown and a steak Christopher Fry had a baby , but that child had an 10 - Men - like genetic mutation that gave it first-rate powers . In the somewhat paraphrased words of local hero Sir Mix - a - Lot , these fries are long , potent , and down to get their feeling on .
Hand-ripped lamb salad
Xi’an Noodles
The bean might be in the name , but the experts agree on the lamb salad as the sleeper striking . tenuous slice of center marinate in a white pepper - spiked sauce that will get you heated , before the crunchy scallion and cooling cilantro chill you back out .
Double burger combo
Great State Burger
Our national burger correspondentnamed thisone of the best burgers in town , and call off the topping the “ most lemony American cheese [ he ’d ] ever had . ” He declared it a bully all - around fast - casual burger , and we could n’t harmonize more . But while he was focused on the burger , we ’ll add that you do n’t need to miss the crispy seam - undercut fries or seasonal shakes , either .
Omakase at the sushi bar
Wataru
I ’m indisputable that Sushi Wataru ’s board service is lovely . I ’m certain that the hombre off to the side , practically in the hallway between the sushi barroom and the kitchen , is doing a fine job of turning out the sushi that you order – even the version of omakase heel on the menu . I ’m also certain that it ’s nowhere close as good as what we ’re getting at the counter , where the chef makes each piece , reach them over one by one , compose a symphony of flavors , playing with our palates , and giving a spiel on each piece ’s blood and preparation .
