Classic chocolate chip

Hello Robin

$, Bakery, Ice Cream, Miller Park

"Robin Wehl Martin's cookies are famous in Seattle. Hello Robin's chocolate chip cookie is the best I've ever tasted. It combines a crisp outside and a soft, chewy inside. And did I mention it is loaded with chocolate chips? The perfect chocolate chip cookie is hard to find and Santa will leave more presents if you leave these for him, so your welcome."

Oysters on the half-shell

The Walrus and the Carpenter

$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Seafood, Gastropub, Cocktail, Old Ballard

"The oysters are always perfectly chilled and shucked to perfection. Did I say perfect twice? Yep. The dining room is also one of my favorites in town; it's stunning in an "indie chic" kind of way."

Egg breakfast burrito

TNT Taqueria

$, Mexican, Tacos, Wallingford

"You must try the egg breakfast burrito! I get eggs and add guac and sour cream. Freaking delicious!"

$$$, French, Stevens

"Thierry Rautureau has created a lovely little neighborhood gem. LUC is cozy and chic—just the kind of place I love. The white bean cassoulet is decadent, comforting, and absolutely delicious with its duck confit, lamb sausage, and frisée salad. Order it with a glass (or two) of Bordeaux and you'll be in cassoulet heaven."

Tajarin al ragù o burro e salvia

Spinasse

$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, Italian, Bar, Pike/Pine

"With pasta, it's usually all about the sauce, but this delicate handmade pasta is truly the star, whether it's served with butter and sage or ragu. Sit at the bar so you can see it being made right before your eyes. Beautiful."

"The chocolate with chocolate frosting is incredibly moist. It has a distinct chocolate flavor made possible by the Valrhona chocolate they use. The cake-to-frosting ratio is also spot-on, making these my favorite cupcakes in Seattle. However, it's the triple-chocolate action that is my favorite."
