Lonely Siren
Tucked into the maze of Pike Place, if you don't know where to look, you might just miss Lonely Siren, one of Seattle’s only Portuguese eateries. Its tricky-to-find location is part of what keeps this half-bar, half-restaurant more local than other food spots around the market. A hodge-podge collection of wooden chairs and tables, plants, and art gives off eclectic grandma’s house vibes—and that's the intention. Inspired by the recipes of the chef’s grandma, who grew up in the Azores, Lonely Siren serves up snacks, mains, and cocktails inspired by the flavors of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula. Snack on salt cod croquettes, grilled pineapple, and fried anchovies (endearingly named "fries with eyes"). Come for food, come for drinks, come for both—they don’t care as long as you make yourself at home.
