American restaurants in Seattle

  1. A

    Madison Park Café

    Down in Madison Park, in a converted house at the end of Madison St just before you hit Lake Washington, the Madison Park Café is a favorite breakfast and lunch spot. It’s a cute little space with blue-and-white checked tablecloths, an extremely cheery feel and welcoming owners. The menu is half old-school (filet mignon, duck confit) and half new-school (foie gras, baby octopus confit) – no need to decide, really; just try some of each.

    Paragon Bar & Grill

    The Paragon is a bastion of American regional cooking, specializing in grilled fish and updated classics. Try the baby back ribs or a plate of fried green tomatoes. There’s an open fireplace and a lively bar scene (the bar’s open until 2am). Most nights there’s live music or DJs playing everything from indie rock and hip-hop to funk and soul.

    Attic Alehouse & Eatery

    Decades ago, according to legend, the Attic was a shooting gallery–bowling alley combo. It first became a restaurant in the mid-‘30s, then became a tavern in the ‘50s. The current building dates from 1967 – it’s a friendly neighborhood pub and a good spot to watch a game of footy while you have a beer and a hand-made burger.

    Triangle Lounge

    Good old American pub food kicked up a notch – like pizza with garlic sauce, grilled chicken, red peppers and fresh mozzarella, or a goat-cheese-and-apple salad – as well as a cool red-neon ‘Prescriptions’ sign above the bar are the trademarks of this arrowhead-shaped hangout.

    Mae’s Phinney Ridge Café

    Breakfast is heavenly, and the tasty milkshakes make it a worthwhile trip anytime. Not that there’s anything wrong with having a milkshake for breakfast, mind you. Mae’s famous cinnamon rolls are now available in stores, but they’re inevitably best here in the homey little cafe.
