3 Best Restaurants in West Seattle, Seattle

Widely considered one of the best bakeries in the city, Bakery Nouveau has perfected many things, including cakes, croissants, and tarts. Their chocolate cake, in particular, might make you swoon, though twice-baked almond croissants are so good you might think you're in France when you take a bite—and owner William Leaman did lead a U.S. team to victory in France's Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie. Sandwiches, quiches, and pizzas are also on offer if you need something delicious and substantial before a banana mousse, pistachio macaron, or chocolate éclair. Artisan breads round out the offerings. If you don't make it out to West Seattle, they have Capitol Hill and Burien locations as well.

This neighborhood market offers fresh sandwiches, pastries from Macrina Bakery, New Zealand style soft-serve ice cream, locally sourced coffee, beer and wine, and thoughtfully selected pantry goods. By featuring products from local producers and serving as a welcoming gathering spot, it’s a go-to spot for quick bites and quality groceries. The store also hosts weekly food truck pop-ups and wine tastings.

Grab a handcrafted ice-cream cone at Husky Deli, a Seattle icon. This grocery store opened in 1932 and retains its old-fashioned feel. It does quite nice sandwiches and soups, making it a good stop for a picnic lunch to take to Alki or Lincoln Park. But the real draw is the friendly service and classic ice cream at the counter.
