Seafood restaurant · Pike Place Market

"Yes, this 110-year-old place is in the absolute center of Seattle tourism, located not only in Pike Place Market but actually inside the main arcade, so one couldn’t be blamed for being skeptical about the food. But the Athenian’s oysters are as fresh as any you’ll find at Taylor Shellfish, and the fish and chips are a strong contender for best in the city. Plus, the draft beers are served in the frostiest mugs ever, and oh, that perfect, sweeping view." - Meg van Huygen
