"You might not think your panang curry is crying out for summer squash and fried kale, but that just means you haven’t eaten at Phuket Cafe. You’ll see those kinds of flavor pairings often at this Northwest spot where PNW ingredients shine—maybe it’s beet root in the cheese roti, or albacore in the Thai-style ceviche. Come with a date and order the fried pompano salad, showered in herbs and served alongside a pile of lettuce and betel leaves for making little wraps to pop in your mouth, paired with a guava-and-passionfruit-splashed Pink Pony Club. Their outdoor seating, which resembles a pastel-hued train car in Thailand, is the perfect spot for creative cocktails and spicy bites while being protected from the sun." - Krista Garcia
