Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Bellevue

"There’s no shortage of restaurants of all stripes in Ballard, but highlights include The Walrus and The Carpenter, where you can enjoy fresh oysters and other local seafood, or The Noble Fir where you can enjoy customized charcuterie and an impressive lineup of beer. Seattle is a microbrew kind of city so if you don’t plan on getting a beer for dinner tonight, why not have a lunch beer?"

"The Walrus and the Carpenter shucks anywhere between 100 and 140 dozen oysters every night. That’s 1,200 to 1,600 oysters—every dang night. Opened in 2010, this homey, lively space has a completely open kitchen surrounded by a bar, like having courtside seats at a basketball game."

"A mainstay on lists of the top seafood restaurants and oyster bars in the United States, this Ballard hipster hangout is captained by Renee Erickson, whom the James Beard Foundation named 2016's Best Chef Northwest. Sit at the marble-topped bar..."

"The north shore of Lake Union is where you will find Westward. More than a restaurant, Westward even offers oyster shucking classes!. Menu options change daily to keep things fresh, but some offerings include Blue Prawn Crudo, Local Sockeye Salmon, Crispy Octopus Salad, and so much more."

"website | neighborhood: Wallingford | 2501 N Northlake Way | best for: oysters and views for days. Westward is another Renee Erickson seafood restaurant, but it wasn’t always. She added it to her restaurant portfolio after some drama with the original owner not paying his staff."

"Set on the northern shore of Lake Union—a body of water the size of Monaco—this rustic-chic, nautical-themed restaurant offers dazzling views of the Space Needle and downtown skyline. Its menu blends Mediterranean flavors with local bounty: Expect..."

"Located inside the Edgewater Hotel, Six Seven is an elegant restaurant with breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The cuisine is classic American focused on fresh seasonal seafood and fresh produce prepared with flair and imagination by Executive Chef Jesse Souza. The restaurant has a very popular Saturday and Sunday whole-day brunch and a delightful lunch menu featuring all-time favorites with a twist, such the Brie L.T., which is wheatberry bread loaded with thick slices of Brie, crispy bacon, tomatoes, crunchy lettuce, and a rosemary-fig aioli."

"Forget what you know about hotel restaurants: The over-the-water centerpiece of the charming Edgewater Hotel doesn’t rely on captive audiences or killer Elliott Bay views—there goes another ferry—to fill its cushy seats. Instead, in a room as warmly Northwest as a forest clearing, the menu celebrates land (perhaps braised short ribs with parsnip puree) and sea (a beautiful hunk of cedar-plank salmon with blackberry honey and several dozen other components) with general skill."

"N and Broad St. to 3rd Ave. and Vine St. Hit up one of the city’s memorable restaurants: El Gaucho is known for steak, while Six Seven earns acclaim for both seafood and its waterfront location. If you still have energy, return downtown to see the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall or a rock band at the Showbox. To get downtown from Belltown, hop on a southbound Route 1, 2, 3, or 4 bus from the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Vine St. Exit at 3rd Ave. and Union St."

"This more-than-century old place is in the absolute center of Seattle tourism, located inside the main arcade, so one couldn’t be blamed for being skeptical about the food. But the oysters here are excellent, and the fish and chips are a strong contender for best in the city. Plus, the draft beers are served in the frostiest mugs ever, and the view is amazing."

"A post shared by DongMin Jeon🌙 (@jeondm) on Oct 1, 2018 at 10:03am PDT. Have you seen Tom Hank’s and Meg Ryan’s Sleepless in Seattle?. Did you know that this restaurant had a special appearance in one of their scenes?"

"Here at Miner’s Landing is where we found some great souvenirs to take home as well. Another fabulous offer on the CityPass is the Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour. We loved getting a view of the city from the water as well as learning the history from the tour guide on the boat."

"Here’s where you get your shot with that giant Ferris wheel—or just a pretty photo of Elliott Bay. Bonus shots: There’s a carousel and a few fisherman statues you can pose with inside. A post shared by Dessiré (@dessirefi) on Jul 16, 2018 at 8:02pm PDT"

"Pier 57 also offers ice cream from Seattle Bay Creamery and $2.50 carousel rides under the covered area. Neither spot has a website, but go prepared to handle your kids clamoring for both. (And both are worth it!)"

"website | neighborhood: West Seattle | 4435 California Ave SW | best for: sea shack snacks. The Seattle Fish Company is one of my favorite restaurants in West Seattle. Probably because it’s a twofer: it’s one of the top places to buy seafood in Seattle since it’s a fish market, but they also serve really yummy snacks you’d find at a seafood shack at the beach."

"Where they are: Puget Sound metropolitan corridorWhy you need them: Ivar’s threads the difficult needle of seafood in a fast food setting: It takes itself only just seriously enough that you trust them with all of your chowder needs, but also recognizes that clams are just inherently funny. Since 1938, Washingtonians have depended on Ivar Haglund’s restaurants for silly seafood puns, creative marketing that embraced the quirky Northwest, and a steaming, delicious bowl of clam chowder at a moment’s notice. While the company’s two full-service establishments serve tourist-friendly fare with a view and price tag that wow, the 19 seafood bars (concession stands in local stadiums) keep the locals happy as clams.What to get: You’re here for the chowder."

"A post shared by Laurie🇺🇸➡️🇹🇭 (@thebunchabroad) on Jan 12, 2019 at 4:10am PST. A nautical-themed restaurant, with a diner feel at the same time, Ivan’s Fish Bar is the place to go if you’re craving some classic seafood snacks such as fish and chips, clam chowder, and even french fries that come with salmon. Its location is also quite convenient because it’s right next to the pier."

"Located on Pier 54, the building and views are half the fun. It’s an icon, one of the classic Seattle landmarks. It’s a restaurant that’s been around since 1938, and it still serves mouthwatering meals."

"Coastal Kitchen has become a Capitol Hill legend since its inception in 2012 with its culinary theme (fish) and variations (a different geographical influence is introduced quarterly). Weekend 'Blunch' is mega,... Top ChoiceMexican in Ballard & Discovery Park"

"Recently remodeled, Coastal Kitchen has shed its colorful decor for a more upscale, modern vibe, but it's still serving the same stellar brunch dishes, like the ever-popular gingerbread waffles shown here. Every few months, they create an entirely..."

"I'm picky and I like this one far better than any of the other chow foods restaurants. When I go there, I go for one thing: Seafood."

"Established in 1833, the Hudson Bay Company used Fort Nisqually to manage its trade program with Indigenous tribes, fur traders, and others in the Pacific Northwest. The Fort Nisqually Living History Museum has reenactors perform daily tasks related to the time period, including broom making and blacksmithing. Self-guided tours take you through authentic buildings at the fort, including guard posts, barracks, and the commander’s home."

"There's no time like the present to journey to the past at Fort Nisqually's Living History Museum. This first European settlement in the Puget Sound has been reinvigorated with period dressed re-enactors demonstrating life in the mid-19th century. Kids can ask questions from lumberjacks and blacksmiths, try out cool skills from back in the day and get a real taste of life before those beloved electronic devices."

"West End's Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, located at 5400 N. Pearl St., Suite 11, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the museum, landmark and historical tour spot 4.5 stars out of 24 reviews."

"Learn more about Nordic Heritage, including its history, myths, sagas, and the current Nordic World through collections and exhibits. A special gallery is dedicated to each of the five Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). While entrance to the museum is free on Seattle Free Museum Day, entrance to the Special Gallery exhibition is $5."

"Learn all about Nordic immigration to Seattle, Swedish folk tales, and even rosemaling—a traditional form of decorative folk art that originated in the rural valleys of Norway. An inquisitive mind is a must, donning a lusekofte sweater is optional. Nordic Heritage Museum: 3014 NW 67th St.; 206-789-5707"

"Army Corps of Engineers, the busiest set of locks in the United States allows water traffic to travel between the tidal waters Puget Sound and the Lake Washington Ship Canal. This waterway passes through Seattle’s inland freshwater lakes, via Lake Washington, Portage Bay, Lake Union and Salmon Bay, where it meets Puget Sound. The locks have permanently changed Seattle, lowering the water level on Lake Washington and Lake Union by 2.7 metres, giving rise to many miles of new land on the lakefronts."

"Seattle shimmers like an impressionist painting on sunny days at the Hiram M Chittenden Locks. Here, the fresh waters of Lake Washington and Lake Union drop 22ft into saltwater Puget Sound. You can stand inches..."

"There's no doubt—there's something intriguing and eerie about seeing two bodies of water, right next to each, at different levels."

"A post shared by Mike Anderson (@realmikeanderson) on Oct 12, 2017 at 8:04pm PDT. While tacos may not be the neatest food to eat, this restaurant’s ambiance is so perfect your date won’t notice. The Mexican restaurant’s dining room features a tree with lanterns, which makes for a perfectly romantic backdrop."

"If Seattle ever erected a Mount Rushmore-esque monument to its original fish house giants, Duke Moscrip’s visage would be front and center. The guy who established the habit of traveling to Alaska to ensure quality seafood for the masses in the late 1970s begat a chain of eight Puget Sound restaurants that keeps its lineup of prawns, Copper River salmon and famed chowder uber accessible, but remains on the vanguard of coursing."

"A post shared by Duke's Seafood & Chowder (@dukesseafoodandchowder) on Apr 21, 2018 at 11:45am PDT. This restaurant is breaking all sorts of traditions when it comes to an excellent dining experience. Mixing fun, crazy, and tasty all at the same time, Duke’s Seafood & Chowder is the place to be if you’re looking for something that will instantly uplift your taste buds as well as your spirits."

"Overlooking Lake Union, Duke’s Chowder House, like many other area restaurants, boasts the ‘best seafood in town’. There is something to their claim. The restaurant says they are committed to serving only ‘100% sustainable seafood’, according to their website, and they offer such fares as Mexican Pacific Prawns, Alaska Copper River Salmon, and Dungeoness Crab."

"Erik Jackson’s White Center shop is a morning trifecta of classic doughnuts, coffee, and ice cream. Sugar and spice dominates but savory options abound, like boiled “p-nuts,” french bread pizza, and a three-egg and cheese breakfast sandwich."
