Seattle Center dining guide
If you're lucky enough to be visiting during the "Bite of Seattle" festival, you won't need any further inspiration for food options. For the rest of the year, here are some restaurants and a few favorite bars within easy traveling distance.
Crow (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
The classy Queen Anne venue has a brief, seasonally accented menu of Seattle-style comfort foods.
Funhouse (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Got a lust for life? This cheerfully rough-and-tumble punk bar will bring out your inner stooge.
Kaspars Special Events and Catering (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Kaspar's Special Events and Catering is available for catered events of up to 300 guests on-site and up to 3,000 off-site.
The Melting Pot (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Furnished with cozy booths that make almost every table feel like a private dining room, this branch of a national chain is staffed with well-trained servers who make uncomplicated fun of fondue.
Moxie (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Menu highlights at the lower Queen Anne joint include a leek tart, clams with chorizo, sea scallops and a lamb burger with fries.
Peso's Kitchen and Lounge (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
The seafood and Latin/Asian fusion dishes here are made with zestful ingenuity, and are quite enjoyable if you can ignore the loud music, bared midriffs and amber-lit Alhambra/dungeon vibe.
Racha (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Best bets at this ornate noodle house include pud kee mao noodles (ordered with eggs, veggies and prawns), soups, Thai salads, eggplant with prawns, and the Neau Yang steak-strips appetizer.
Revolution Bar & Grill (at the Experience Music Project) (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Menu items at the EMP's split level bar and restaurant run the gamut from pizza to sushi and steak. Wash it down with one of 50 beers on tap.
Seattle Center House (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
This food court is where the inevitable fast-food joints and a "full-service" restaurant are conveniently located.
The Sitting Room (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
SkyCity (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
The Space Needle's rotating restaurant features prices as high as the view. But by dining here, you bypass the rather steep entrance fee to get to the top of our own space-age Eiffel Tower.
Taqueria Jalisco (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
No-frills, inexpensive Mexican fare and fruity margaritas make Taqueria Jalisco a favorite stand-by.
Ten Mercer (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
Ten Mercer's casual lower level strikes just the right mood for Seattle Center show-goers looking for a glass of wine and a bite to eat.
Tini Bigs Lounge (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
"Seattle's second-best cocktail lounge" has a lot to offer -- an energetic yet mature vibe, a deep specialty drink menu and a selection of premium vodkas, rums and scotches that skims the divine.
Tup Tim Thai (Queen Anne/Seattle Center)
The lower Queen Anne restaurant draws a steady crowd for Thai favorites like pad kee mao and yellow curry. It might be the ultimate small, cheap and good Thai place in Seattle.
