Capitol Hill Yummies

I made this list for my Brother's annual Summer in Seattle party and realized that it's a great resource for anyone out on Capitol Hill looking for a good place to eat or drink. It's obviously missing some fancy restaurants (Altura, Cascina Spinasse, Lark, Sitka and Spruce etc) but for a casual outing try one of these...

Breakfast/Brunch:

Wandering Goose (http://www.thewanderinggoose.com/) - Craze Amaze. I go here all the time (but limited seating). Might be good to pick up some stuff for a breakfast at home or in the park.

Monsoon (http://monsoonrestaurants.com/seattle/) - weekend vietnamese brunch)

Kingfish Cafe (http://thekingfishcafe.com/) - Soul food and amazing weekend brunch. Long lines but excellent red velvet cake make it worthwhile

Delicious snacks:

Wandering Goose - Southern biscuits and gravy place with an amazing bakery case. Can you say triple layer coconut cake ?!

Bakery Nouveau (http://www.bakerynouveau.com/welcome/) - Twice baked almond croissant. Best bakery in the city. A visit here at least once is a MUST

North Hill Bakery (http://www.northhillbakery.com/) - Small, cute, tasty. Small and minimal seating though. I usually get a pastry and coffee to go.

Crumble and Flake (http://www.crumbleandflake.com/) - Must get there early or stuff sells out and they close the store. It's usually closed by noon.

Pie Bar (http://www.piebarseattle.com/piebarseattle/):  Sweet and savory pies AND cocktails. Open late night. I suggest we go :)

Burgers:

Lil Woody's (http://lilwoodys.com/) - recently voted Seattle's best burger

8oz Burger Bar (http://www.8ozburgerbar.com/) - a fave of the Boyapati clan

Mexican:

Poquitos (http://www.vivapoquitos.com/Poquitos/VivaPoquitos.html) - yum

Barrio (http://www.barriorestaurant.com/) - fancy mexican

Fogon (http://fogonseattle.com/) - also very yum

Ghetto Fab:

Rancho Bravo (http://www.yelp.com/biz/rancho-bravo-tacos-seattle-2) - a taco truck that got a brick and mortar location. Fantastic, cheap, quick. Conveniently located next to Bike Polo hipsters.

Lalibela (http://lalibelaseattle.com/)- Ethiopian just outside of Cap Hill. $11 will feed 4 people. Big platters of tasty food. Lots of fun.

Ezells (http://www.ezellschicken.com/) - is there really anything to say here?

El Farol (http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-farol-mexican-restaurant-seattle) - fast, cheap, american mexican food. Seating for all of us though. Not fancy but a staple of House Burke (especially when we need a lot of salt)

Libations:

Von Trapps (http://www.vontrapps.com/VonTrapps/HOME.html) - Beer, Bacci, Brats.

Harry's bar (http://www.yelp.com/biz/harrys-bar-seattle)- part of olympia pizza. $5 Happy hour Manhattans will put you on your ass.

Liberty Bar (http://www.libertybars.com/) - best craft cocktails on the hill

Bait Shop (http://baitshopseattle.com/) - Fancy adult slushies, good fried chicken sammie
