"Peyrassol West is a lively, family-run wine bar in a Normandy Park strip mall that serves great small plates alongside a list of well-curated pours. Besides the usual charcuterie and cheese boards, there’s a hearty boeuf bourguignon and a tasty crepe stuffed with crab meat and shrimp. It’s a great place to share dishes on a third date, or sidle up to the bar solo with a glass of smooth Oregon pinot as you listen to the pleasant hum of the dining room. In a lot shared with a UPS Store and QFC, it feels like you’ve suddenly escaped to Walla Walla." - Gabe Guarente
