Exceptional modern French cuisine for foodies. L’Oursin glows with pendant lights and Parisian signs, in an unfussy room whose populated bar and open kitchen crook an alluring finger from the street. Chef and co-owner J. J. Proville grew up mostly in France and knows its subtleties, in dishes like a fathomless bouillabaisse with Northwest shellfish under a pastry crust or a tartine of house-smoked bacon with greens on charred brioche. Great wine selectino, but the cocktail list is an equal star. The Monday night–only burger and $5 “wine roulette” are worth a trip, and happen only at the bar. Central District. Somewhat walkable.

It’s a bike shop, after all, with a tire pump bolted to the sidewalk and a mechanic across from the espresso machine. But Peloton’s tucked-in cafe is a genuine destination, thanks to co-owner McKenzie Hart, whose roasted veg hash might be a full-flowering garden of leeks, purple potatoes, cauliflower, and herbs over pine nut aioli, delicately sautéed and dotted with creamy chevre. Breakfast sandwiches on sweet whole wheat bread spill out bacon and egg yolk and arugula; densely flavorful chorizo breakfast burritos hold a city in thrall. The menu is short, smart, and maintained as carefully as the bike chains, with Slate Roasters coffee and local craft beers for waiting out a tuneup. All with a heaping side of Peloton’s most cutting-edge specialty: excellence, unexpected.

A popular barbecue food truck is now a popular restaurant on Jackson, with a bar full of local beer and cocktails with house-smoked ingredients. The lineup of pulled pork, brisket, and mac and cheese bowls is the work of unabashed barbecue geek Matt Davis, a former furniture maker with a degree in wood technology. His geekery comes through in tender, reliably great barbecue. The space is small (and does plenty of takeout) so the sprawling patio is a definite bonus.

Nothing here is fancy—not the dining room with its magenta walls and acoustic tile ceiling. Not the signature dish, Peru’s charcoal-roasted rotisserie poultry and golden fries. But man, that chicken is good. It’s hard to bypass that superbly seasoned pollo a la brasa, but the menu of Peruvian staples like ceviche and lomo saltado is endlessly great—and has remained a rocking value over the years.

Sure, you can go to the "original" Starbucks in Pike Place Market (FYI, the first location actually opened down the street in 1971 but moved to the current address five years later), but once you get past the crowds there isn't much there. Instead, hit the Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room in Pike/Pine, where you get an intimate view of both the roasting and the brewing process, and you can try all kinds of new and unique to Seattle offerings.

The ride is super scenic and provides great photo ops. Right at the landing dock is the incredible Marination Ma Kai which serves Hawai style tacos and incredible views back towards the city. From the water taxi dock to Alki Beach proper it's about a 7 to 10 minute flat sidewalk walk. Alki Beach is a huge sandy beach with lots of shops, restaurants and bars. You can rent bikes in the spring and summer, or just enjoy the beach life. It's like Venice Beach, CA minus the palm trees and the body builders.
