COMO takes the inspiration for its vibe and cuisine from Italy’s Lake Como, drawing on the culinary traditions of the Lombardia region and evoking the magnificent setting with a lakefront location of its own. The restaurant even runs a shuttle service across Lake Washington via vintage wooden boat, an experience guests can book in advance for a not insignificant fee. Chef Gabriel Chavez’s lunch and dinner menus focus on hand-made pastas, seafood and risotto, with a couple of pizzas as well. Consider rich fare such as sweet potato gnocchi with braised oxtail and butternut squash, and pappardelle with wild boar ragu and Calabria chili. COMO also offers a list of signature cocktails starring Italian spirits and aperitifs.

The Heathman Hotel in Kirkland is home to Hearth, one of the best new restaurants in the Seattle area. The centerpiece of the restaurant is a hearth oven (hence the name), with its warmth defining the cozy, family friendly atmosphere of the venue. Chef Adam Johnson looks to Pacific Northwest ingredients to star in hearth-fired dishes like roasted mussels with crispy red rice and chorizo, roasted king crab legs with herb butter, and a whole “caveman-style” beef short rib for two or more. Lunchtime fare includes an array of flat breads, a fried chicken sandwich and signature burger with smoked gouda, caramelized onions and black pepper aioli. Hearth is open for breakfast on weekdays and on weekends presents a popular brunch.

Ben Paris, on the ground floor of the State Hotel, is one of the best new restaurants in Seattle, yet its venue has a long and storied heritage. In the early 20th century it was home to a landmark restaurant owned by namesake Ben Paris, the noted Seattle sportsman, conservationist and entrepreneur. The spot is a stone’s throw from Pike Place Market, the source for many of the ingredients used in the kitchen. The brunch, lunch and dinner menus offer a mixture of straightforward American classics and modern versions of old favorites. Consider small plates like poutine, avocado toast, and a cauliflower and kale Caesar salad, and large plates of crab Louie, ribeye steak with Brussels sprouts and a fried egg, and pasta sheets with duck confit, radicchio and marcona almonds.

Pink Salt stands out among the best new restaurants in Seattle by taking its major culinary inspiration from Peru. Behind the scenes are three chefs, two from Peru and one from the United States, who together present intriguing menus focusing on local seafood and charcoal-grilled meats. Ceviche made with the catch of the day and a lomo saltado with a grass-fed, pasture-raised angus beef tenderloin are among the iconic Peruvian dishes on the menu. Another is an appetizer of yuca frita with an aji carretillero dipping sauce.

The name of Conversation, the signature restaurant of the Thompson Seattle Hotel, represents a desire for diners to engage fully in the social experience around eating. In the sleek, minimalist space steps from Pike Place Market, with refined décor around slates and grays with pops of brass, each dining table features cards printed with conversation-starter questions. Chef Derek Simcik’s menus are conversation worthy as well, inspired by his world travels, family recipes and local ingredients. Consider the signature trout over potato puree with a caramelized onion broth, smoked aioli and caper puree, or the shareable split pig’s head served on a platter with ramps, kimchi apples and cherry ketchup.

Deep Dive

Lake Union / Eastlake

Deep Dive, inside the Amazon Spheres, ranks highly among the best new restaurants in Seattle in large part for the remarkable execution of its underwater theme. The atmospheric space is equal parts underwater grotto and steamship captain’s lounge, with every nook and cranny displayed an eye-catching collection of oddities. Dried sea creatures sit next to antique watches, with taxidermy beasts beside brass birdcages and sea-glass orbs. The drink menu comes as a leather-bound tome, with celebrated chef Renee Erickson’s snack-centric menu designed to complement creative cocktails. A pricey take on the Seattle dog is a real scene-stealer. It’s a grass-fed, hazelnut-smoked beef hot dog on a seeded bun dressed with whipped cream cheese, red onions, pickled jalapenos and pink salmon caviar, which arrives on a silver platter.
