Explore Seattle’s Foodie Neighborhoods on Foot

Savory Strolls


Bring your appetite on a relaxing walk through these four food-focused neighborhoods.

Downtown

The dozens of eateries in historic Pike Place Market could keep you happily snacking for days, but downtown offers plenty of culinary gems as well. Amid Pine Street’s shopping, check out the diverse flavors of Asean Streat Food Hall at Westlake Center, the four buzzy restaurants inside the flagship Nordstrom department store, and Din Tai Fung and Pike Place Chowder at Pacific Place shopping center.

Ballard

In this foodie-favored neighborhood that also abounds with cool shopping, enjoy a meal at Sabine Cafe or Ocho tapas bar. Then sample fine ales with a beer crawl around the Ballard Brewery District. Try Lucky Envelope and Stoup Brewing.

Set your course for the Ballard Brewery District and explore over a dozen breweries within a one-mile radius. Check in at each location using our Ballard Brewed Passport and win an exclusive tin tacker!

People dine at outdoor tables under a wooden pergola, while others walk past on a lively sidewalk lined with trees and storefronts. Some people push strollers, and a server walks toward the diners.

Upper Queen Anne

After admiring this charming district’s Victorian houses and taking in the skyline view from Kerry Park, stroll among the many indie dining spots along Queen Anne Avenue N, such as plant-based Sushi Samurai, 5 Spot, and Grappa. For pastries and expertly crafted coffee drinks, consider Scandinavian-inspired Café Hagen and Moonrise Bakery, which doles out both savory and sweet scones and croissants along with natural wines.

Green Lake

Anchored by a scenic 259-acre body of water, Green Lake Park is near several pockets of eclectic dining. Family-friendly options include cheerful Revolutions Coffee and lively Rosita’s Mexican Restaurant. Venture around the lake to Duke’s Seafood and Bongos Cuban and Caribbean grill.
