Restaurants - Less than 10 minute walk
With all the great apps out there, it is pretty easy to find great restaurants in This list highlights some of the better ones which are a leisurely walk from the apartment.
6- minute walk -- American, $$, Breakfast, Lunch -- This is an awesome spot for a high quality, but quick breakfast or lunch. Order at the counter, they deliver to your table (or takeout of course). Essential is famous for their bread and other baked goods, but they make fantastic salads, sandwiches and egg dishes (and of course coffee).

7-minute walk -- American, $$, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner -- This is a Seattle Breakfast and Lunch favorite. Even if you are not vegetarian between egg and cheese dishes, you’ll leave satisfied. Nice homey garden-like atmosphere

6-minute walk -- Italian, Traditional, $$, Lunch, Dinner --
This is a super tiny and a bit cheesy Italian restaurant. BUT… The food is all very fresh, made from scratch onsite, and the portions are huge. Seriously, split a salad and split an entrée.
Things to try – The Caprese (ask for the buffalo mozzarella), Apple-Walnut-Spinach-Salad, Spaghetti & Meatballs, Chicken Parm, Ok, well maybe I’d just recommend anything. They’ve gotten so busy, reservations are recommended. Feel like staying in? Order take out. They don’t deliver but it is close enough to pick up and bring back.

6-minute walk -- $$, Lunch, Dinner -- Good sushi, and a good selection of Asian inspired dishes for then non-sushi folks. Not a chain, friendly staff, and the owner is there most days.

6-minute walk -- French, $$, Lunch & Dinner most days -- Good food, good wine selection, bistro feeling. Can be a bit noisy when full. While everything is good, their onion soup and Kobe Beef burger are both awesome.

7-minute walk -- Spanish (Basque) Tapas, $$$, Dinner Only -- I could eat here every night and never get tired of it. Because it is a bit pricey, it is our go-to for special occasions or with guests. All small plates are meant to be shared so you get a few bites of many things. They do an awesome 4 cheese plate; the cured meats are fantastic. I ALWAYS get the beet salad and the grilled pork, but they have rotating items as well. This place has never disappointed me.
If there are only two of you, and you are foodies, see if you can get seated at the bar where you overlook the kitchen and can interact with the chefs (if you do this, you will definitely overeat).

10-minute walk -- $, Lunch, Dinner, Delivery -- Good pizza & salads lots of choices. They do sell by the slice for dine-in and have a few beers on tap. Only a 10 min walk, but don’t bother, they deliver 😊. There should be a laminated menu in the apartment.
Tell them you are in the back apartment when you order. Ask to have the driver to call you when they arrive.
Open till midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 11 pm other days.

5-minute walk -- $, Traditional Asian Takeout, Lunch, Dinner -- I hesitate to list this place. It is a very traditional hole-in-the-wall Teriyaki takeout place. It is a bit of a dirty mom-and-pop little shop, but I must admit, I do grab takeout from here a couple times per month and it hasn’t killed me yet 😊.

Restaurants - Close but you might want to uber/drive
Close, good, but not everyone would be up for the walk.
1/2 mile walk (up hill) -- Breakfast, Lunch -- Very Famous Seattle Bakery, delightful baked goods & breakfasts, but usually very crowded. Order at the counter, then fight to find a table :). Consider takeout, or grab some baked goods and coffee and go up to Volunteer Park.
