Located south of Pioneer Square, this diner is reminiscent of the 1950s.

Lark


Rustic, Artisan-Friendly Cuisine
926, 12th Avenue
Seattle, WA 98122
United States
+1 206 323 5275
http://www.larkseattle.com
Specializing in small plates to share, Lark's stated mission is to "use sustainable products from trusted artisans." Chef Jonathan Sundstrom, named Best Chef Northwest by the James Beard Foundation for 2007, creates inspired dishes with thoughtfully sourced ingredients like produce from "Billy's Farm" in the Okanogan. Originally built in the 1920s, the comfortable space retains the rustic farmhouse wood-beam ceiling and original plank floors from the bakery formerly housed here. Sample several artisan cheeses with the pumpernickel raisin bread or handmade crackers, or try the cold beef tongue with endive and horseradish cream or roasted eel with saba. Full bar. -Kate Navarro

Luau Polynesian Lounge


Polynesian treats
2253 North 56th Street
Seattle, WA 98115
United States
+1 206 633 5828
http://www.luaupolynesianloung...
This Greenlake-area restaurant offers flavors from the islands. Bamboo and coconut shells hint of the South Seas, but the decor is unobtrusive. The chef uses tropical seasonings for intriguing dishes and drinks. Often crowded, the room hums with good cheer. Meals start with complimentary flatbread with chutney. The flaming Thomas' Pupu Platter ($14) makes an aromatic centerpiece and a hearty appetizer for two. The Macadamia Encrusted Pork Loin is less flashy but excellent. The bar opens at 3p for Happy Hour and stays open until 12:30a.

Luna Park Cafe


Fifties-style diner
2918 Southwest Avalon Way
Seattle, WA 98126
United States
+1 206 935 7250
Filling the gap left by Wallingford's now defunct Beeliner Diner, this West Seattle eatery plainly enjoys its mission of keeping retro atmosphere alive. Everything here is a reminder of a bygone era, not least the theatrically abrasive staff. The portions of meatloaf, the full turkey dinners and the burgers are cheap and enormous, so the only things you will need in abundance are nostalgia for yesteryear and space in your belly.

Madame K's


Pizza, pasta and fun
De Boelelaan 2
Seattle, WA 1083 HJ
United States
+1 206 783 9710
Located in an old building that once housed a brothel, this restaurant maintains that theme with rich red walls, dark tablecloths, a "slept-in" bed in the loft, lingerie that hangs next to your coat, candles and even a gilt headboard. The house specialty is the Artie Parmie Pie, a deep-dish pizza made with parmesan cheese, artichoke hearts, garlic and a "secret ingredient." Pasta dishes include Artichoke Lasagna and Sassy Saucy Angel Hair. This 21-and-over restaurant serves beer and wine, and features live jazz on Fridays.

Mama's Mexican Kitchen


Mexican with a kick
2234 Second Avenue
Seattle, WA 98121
United States
+1 206 728 6262
It's no secret why, for the last 25 years, this fun Mexican eatery has survived the economic ups and downs of its Belltown neighborhood. The menu is diverse, the preparation terrific, and the cost very reasonable. The festive space is fairly small and nearly always filled with people and chatter. The platters are enormous, yet the generous portions fill them up. Order up a round of margaritas and give the tasty fajitas and enchiladas a try. There is a good selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes as well.

United States
+1 206 378 1208

This restaurant offers great service and interesting food, making it a great spot for leisurely meals. The specialty is Swiss fondue, but the menu includes many variations on the traditional fondue, plus salads, other entrees and Chocolate Fondue desserts. The restaurant is large, but the designers included many private nooks for romantic evenings or lonely hearts. Families and larger groups are welcome also. On chilly evenings, sit by the fireplace in the lounge. Street parking and nearby pay lots are available.

Ohana


Hawaiian delight
2207 First Avenue
Seattle, WA 98121
United States
+1 206 956 9329
The tiki-torch and beach decor may not thrill everyone, but no one who stays to eat will be disappointed. Making the most of Hawaiian plate-lunch tradition, Chef Dennis Odea serves up delicious island comfort food from appetizer pupus to hearty entrees. Try the classic Ahi Poke ($8.95). Also try the Japanese menu items. A tender and not-too-sweet Beef Teriyaki ($10.95) competes with Seattle's best. Desserts include a decadent Bananas Foster ($7.95). The full bar features more tiki drinks. A late-night menu is available. Reservations are recommended.

Enjoy lunch or dinner in this 1920s industrial-style restaurant and watch beer being crafted right before your eyes. The creative menu complements the beers well.

Tilth


Good earth, good eats
1411, North 45th Street
Seattle, WA 98103
United States
+1 206 633 0801
http://www.tilthrestaurant.com/
Chef Maria Hines proves that you can be a good steward of the earth and still delight your palate. Entering the old craftsman bungalow with a rocking chair porch feels like going to a friend's house for dinner. The décor is sparse, but original leaded glass windows, a brick fireplace and painted green chairs add to its inherent charm. Using only locally sourced and organic ingredients, menu items change seasonally. Try the mini duck burgers with homemade ketchup and mission fig at dinner or weekend brunch. A chalkboard highlights artisanal cheese selections, and the extensive wine list features several eco-friendly choices. -Kate Navarro
