Serious Pie
Gourmet pizza sounds like an oxymoron until you stumble upon this place in Belltown which adds ingredients no one else would dare use to embellish its crispy Italianate crusts. Bank on truffles, Brussels sprouts, clams, eggs and a variety of herbs and cheeses.

Seeds Bistro & Bar
If you needed a single reason to visit La Conner, here it is. Situated in the old Tillinghurst Seed building, Seeds Bistro offers that rare combo of classy food and brunch-café-style friendliness. The key lies in harnessing the fresh flavors of the surrounding farmland and mixing it with equally fresh fish plucked from the nearby ocean. The result: unparalleled ling cod, off-the-ratings-scale crab cakes, and a raspberry and white chocolate bread pudding you'll still be talking about months later.

Lola
Seattle's ubiquitous cooking maestro, Tom Douglas, goes Greek in this new Belltown adventure and delivers once again with gusto. Stick in trendy clientele, some juicy kebabs, heavy portions of veg, shared meze dishes and pita with dips, and you'll be singing Socratic verse all the way home.

La Vita é Bella
As any Italian food snob will tell you, it's very hard to find authentic home-spun Italian cuisine this side of Sicily. Thus extra kudos must go to La Vita é Bella for trying and largely succeeding in a difficult field. Judge the pizza margherita as a good yardstick, though the vongole (clams), desserts and coffee are also spot on. As in all good Italian restaurants, the owners mingle seamlessly with the clientele with handshakes and good humor.

Calico Cupboard
The size of the cinnamon buns here beggar belief, and their quality (there are four specialist flavors) is equally good. Factor in a 10-mile run through the tulip fields before you tackle one and you should manage to stave off instant diabetes. The rest of the goods – if you ever get round to viewing them – are, not surprisingly, highly addictive. Try the bread pudding, flans, omelets or light lunches. There's seating inside. There's another branch in Anacortes.
