Get those forks ready. Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) is back, running from Sunday, Oct. 27 until Saturday, Nov. 9 (so essentially two full weeks).
In case you need a reminder, SRW is when restaurants across the city offer special meal deals, which include $20 lunches and multi-course $35/$50/$65 dinners. It’s a great opportunity to try out a new place or rediscover old favorites.
Over 200 restaurants and food trucks are participating in SRW’s fall edition, with takeout and delivery options + a charitable component.
Here are this year’s highlights and must-tries (most prices do not include tax and service charges):
Hood Famous is known for smooth ube lattes, but has other specialty drinks, too.
