Featured Seattle food and drink
Seattle has plenty of top-notch dining options. Here are a few of the most popular, according to Skyscanner.
Beecher's Handmade Cheese (1600 Pike Place)
One of Seattle's most popular restaurants is Beecher's Handmade Cheese, which has an average of 4.6 stars out of 93 reviews on Skyscanner.
In Seattle's historic Pike Place Market, visitors press their noses against the windows to witness a vat of creamy white milk transformed by the expert hands of the cheesemaker. They watch as curds materialize from the milk and then are knit together to create a fine artisanal cheese.
"I'm literally making a trip to Seattle solely to get Beecher's mac and cheese," wrote visitor Sophia. "The sandwiches are yummy, too."
Pike Place Chowder (1530 Post Alley)
Another popular dining destination is Pike Place Chowder, with 4.7 stars from 72 reviews.
"This is the best chowder I've had to date," wrote reviewer George.

Finally, there's Bakery Nouveau. It has five stars from 23 reviews on Skyscanner.
Located in West Seattle where the historic Blake's Bakery once stood, William and Heather Leaman continue to make one-of-a-kind creations.
"There is always a line out the door right when they open and for good reason. The twice baked chocolate croissants are the best — crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside," wrote reviewer Sarah.
