We’re big fans of the TapHouse! Great food, fantastic selection of beers and a pretty good wait staff.

Hi Michele, I love the wide variety of Asian-inspired cuisine offered right here in Downtown Bellevue as well! Do you have a specific dish you recommend? I haven’t tried Wild Ginger yet but love the vegetarian fresh rolls and specialty cocktails at Monsoon East in Old Bellevue.

My favorite Downtown Bellevue restaurant would have to be the 520 Bar & Grill. It has great food, a cozy atmosphere and great waitstaff.
I am looking forward to trying Wild Ginger at the Bravern and The Purple Cafe when it opens!

Downtown Bellevue has so many great restaurants, but my newest all-around favorite is The Artisanal Table Pizzeria & Enoteca. The pizzas reminded me of ones I ate in Florence, Italy. So-o yummy. I also had a perfect glass of wine and out-of-this world gelato — it was the complete package! I can’t wait to go back.

Monsoon favs are the duck stuffed squid appetizer and at Wild Ginger it would have to be the Seafood thai noodles and the Fragrant Duck

Love to do the progressive dinner travels in Bellevue with friends…Artisanal for wine and cheese, travel over to Wild Ginger for Satays and love the duck w/plum sauce. Have a steak at John Howie steak end with cupcakes at Trophy’s.

Hey Jordan
I love Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar for their salmon. Always consistent. Great appetizers too. Also, Flo Sushi Restaurant I believe has the highest quality sushi in Bellevue.
by Nina
I have to agree with James! I’m a HUGE fan of seafood and Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar and Flo Sushi Restaurant have a great reputation for their fresh fish! Seastar Restaurant also has a fine wine selection as well as private catering so that is pretty convenient too. I also heard that the steaks at John Howie Steak were delicious as well!

Mine is Bis On Main. Just a great atmosphere in the bar area, especially with the late night happy hour menu.
