West Seattle isn’t its personal metropolis but it surely form of seems like one. Requiring a drive throughout a (fortunately now reopened) bridge from many of the remainder of Seattle, it’s the type of place you won’t go except you lived there, and that’s a disgrace. The Alki boardwalk rivals any stretch of waterfront on the town, there are ample alternatives for kayaking and whale-watching, and there are numerous nice eating places, which is what we’re right here for.
There’s the smokehouse and butcher store at Woman Jaye, the crispy falafel at Falafel Salam, and acclaimed Italian restaurant Il Nido within the stately Alki Homestead. New to the map as of April 2025 are Ma’ono Fried Hen, Upwell Wine and Espresso, and the choux specialists at Panterelli Patisserie.
