The Best Affordable Restaurants In Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Celebrating its 20th year in business in 2025, Gainsbourg has quietly been doing date-nighty bistro food in cozy digs at impressively affordable prices out in Greenwood. The most expensive thing on the whole menu is $24 — the succulent hanger steak — and the duck confit with roasted Yukons and a pan demi is right behind it at $20. Never mind the lamb-and-beef Gainsbourger, one of the city’s finest burgs, is $16 and includes a mess of crispy duck-fat frites. Speaking of frites, the hedonistic poutine with shallots, mushroom gravy, and gruyere is a meal on its own, at only $8. If that weren’t enough, happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. knocks off a dollar off drinks and busts the Gainsbourger down to $7 (a la carte), among several other food specials. And it’s happy hour all day on Mondays." - Meg van Huygen
