Voted #1 New Restaurant for 2010 in Western Washington by Evening Magazine, this new restaurant fuses French and Italian for a unique flavor. If you’re looking for something completely different, this is place to get it, as you’ll notice crispy pig tail and grilled octopus on the menu.

Featuring a wide variety of food and booze, from ten dollar steak night to crepes, this restaurant has a little something for everyone. But one cannot forget their wide variety of events as well, such as the nude soiree for men or the erotic poetry show. Make sure to check their website before you head into this scandalous little bistro, or you may find yourself surprised at what you find.

Relocated from Ballard, this burger joint offers huge, crazy, funky, gooey, towers of meat, cheese, and everything in between. One burger features not only blue cheese, but also gorgonzola sauce and balsamic onions. Like music to a foodie’s ears.
