Culinary Visit to Seattle

“FoodTrip” is a culinary focussed trip where I visit food areas of interest which include restaurants, cafes, bakeries and/or other places such as wineries, distilleries, chocolatiers and more that people can visit as well as a hotel stay experience. This is about offering Taste and Sip readers a chance to travel to explore, learn, taste and experience.

Seattle is one of those cities that I adore and its proximity is quite close to Vancouver, after a 3 hour drive South on Highway 5 I arrived in Seattle to begin my urban adventure.

Kimpton Alexis Hotel

Checked in to the Alexis Hotel which was located on 1st avenue at the outer edge of historic Pioneer Square and blocks away from the famous Pike Place Market.

I had Brunch/Lunch at Barrio Mexican Kitchen in the Capitol Hill neighborhood about a mile or so walk east of downtown.

After a little rest in the hotel, we got in the car and drove across the I-90 bridge East about a 20 minute drive to Bellevue where I had an early dinner at Lot No 3 – the restaurant has 6 beers on tap, 50-60 bottles of craft brews from around the world. I had the Lot No 3 Punch (apple, sage and lemon) to go along with my food.
