We've lived in Seattle for three years now and have eaten at many restaurants here. We don't eat out very much and when we do, we prefer to eat at places we know are going to be good. It's hard to spend money going to new places all the time and take the risk that we might not like it. Nevertheless, our favorite restaurant list for this year includes two new places. Both Djan's Thai and Noah's Bagels dropped off the list after two straight years. Red Mill and Pagliacci are the only ones that have made the cut all three years.
- Top Pot Doughnuts - We've mentioned Top Pot several times before, so we thought it deserved its own spot in our top 5. These donuts aren't just any regular donuts, they're "hand-forged" sugary goodness. My favorites are the apple fritter, chocolate bar, and cinnamon sugar rings. Troy loves the old fashioned glazed and the old fashioned devils food.
- Paseo Caribbean - Wow, what a sandwich! We tried this place about six months ago and need to go back. The sandwiches were very filling and had a lot of meat. The sandwich I got had roast pork with sweet banana peppers, smoked ham & Swiss cheese melted between a hot press. It was really good!
- Red Mill Burgers (Interbay) - yummy burgers and onion rings. This is a classic place that everyone should go to at least once if they like burgers. The onion rings are awesome and the shakes are good too.
- Café Besalu - Best croissants and quiche in the city. We tried this place about six months ago as well and I was blown away by the food. On a cold morning, these quiches and croissants will warm you up fast. It's definitely worth waiting in the long line for this breakfast.
- Pagliacci Pizza - totally awesome pizza. I've had a lot of different pizzas in my life and this has everything beat. My favorites are the pepperoni and Hawaiian. They also make really good vegetarian-style pizzas with special toppings like artichoke and goat cheese. It may be a little expensive, but it's worth it. Troy and I can usually eat off of a large pizza twice.

Although a chain, we have a new to area place called Jersey Mike's Subs.
Much much better than Subway, Quiznos or Pot Belly. They fresh cut the meat and veggies in front of you. My favs are the number 2 and number 5. Good quality lean meat. For toppings, I prefer to have it done "Mike's Way". Another new place in the area is Smashburger but I did not care for it too much. It is sort of weird with all the gourmet burger joints now.
Uh-oh, Pagliacci's in danger for next year's list.
