Ravenna,Seattle Metro,United States,Washington,West Coast Seattle New Southern: JuneBaby. The food has a Southern focus starting with the bread...biscuits and cornbread as choices. Not to start a debate but the cornbread is sweet...that said, it's very good. The menu is just the right size with many starters, salads, Philadelphia,United States Philadelphia New Southern in the old city: Amina Actually visited a few months after it open in 2022 and it didn't disappoint...you can indeed find excellent southern cuisine in Philly...it's not all about cheese steak. Where to start? How about the deviled eggs...fantastic. Hillman City,Must Visit,Seattle Metro,United States,Washington,West Coast Seattle A very special experience: Archipelago. I've been trying to score a reservation here since soon after they opened about 4 years ago. Before COVID-19 hit, I finally snagged a very hard to come by reservation at this well regarded restaurant with Alki,Seattle Metro,United States,Washington,West Coast Seattle Not your average fish house: Harry's Fish House. Very popular spot on Alki Beach. Come hungry since the portions are large. They have oysters, of course, but expect to find a few land animals...beef, chicken, duck and pork...on the menu. The British Columbia,Canada,Outside the United States,Vancouver Vancouver BC Tapas: ¿CÓMO? Taperia Small plates, as expected, and all very Spanish. Best of the night? The tortilla Española. Great place to try a different drink...Porto, Vermut, and sangria are all on tap. If you are into Basque wines give the Txakoli a try. Rest of Washington,United States,Washington,West Coast North Bend WA A local favorite: North Bend Bar & Grill. Nice spot on a cold day for lunch...check out the fireplace! Basic bar food...burgers, salads and soups. But, you have to remember portion sizes are much larger east of the Cascades! Brunch is served
