206-783-0719 | | | | | Description: UNIVERSITY DISTRICT. Ask most anybody where you can find Seattle's best burritos, and they'll likely point you in the direction of this cozy gem. Sporting traditional "restaurante" style multi-hued walls of pink, yellow and blue, themed murals and festive decor Burrito Loco offers up fabulous homemade Mexican dishes. At lunch and dinner, locals flock here to sample such favorites as shrimp and pork tacos, but Loco's true star is its chicken enchilada, which arrives covered in one of their spicy special sauces. Best of all, prices are more than reasonable. Reservations suggested for groups of ten or more.

206-323-0171 | | | | | Description: CAPITOL HILL. Situation: you're craving sushi, your friends are clamoring for lo mein, moo shu pork, and pad thai. Solution: Chinoise Café. This Pan-Asian restaurant chain (with four locations, all in Seattle) ignored the usual "one-cuisine" rule, and subsequently built up quite a following for itself. With nary a bad choice on the menu, you really can't go wrong, but favorites include sushi and sashimi dinners, tamarind basil seafood, and anything with Thai garlic sauce. Service is efficient and friendly, and there is a good selection of wine and sake.

206-292-8828 | | | | | Description: INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT. Ideal for those looking for something a bit different that won't break the bank, this Chinese standby in the ID earns high marks from regulars. Honey Court emphasizes quality food, fresh ingredients, and friendly service over the fancy decor you might find at rival places. Specialties include steamed whole tilapia, sautéed fresh squid with broccoli, and shredded squab with crispy lettuce, but what the customers truly adore is honey-walnut prawns. In addition, the dim sum is a terrific lunch option. Weekends after the clubs shut down, Honey Court has been known to stay open even later than usual.

206-621-8772 | | | | | Description: PIONEER SQUARE. For great Italian sausages, salamis, meatballs, or pork, try Salumi, whose name means "dry-cured meat" in Italian. Meats can be purchased individually as an entree or by the pound as deli take-away. If you prefer a lighter, less meat-intensive meal, order a salad, vegetable dish, or one of their pastas. A comfortable interior with tin ceilings and wooden floors makes guests feel at home, as does a large communal table where guests can share conversation with their meals. Wine is available by the glass or bottle.

206-522-9060 | | | | | Description: ROOSEVELT. This quirky little eatery may not set many high-water marks in the contemporary decor arena things look to have changed very little since John, Paul, George, and Ringo were kings of the airwaves. However, the place more than makes up for it with its food. Specializing in what the politically correct would no doubt dub '60s-era counter-culture cuisine (hippie eats, that is), the skilled kitchen treats hungry, diet-conscious patrons to things like cheese and veggie quesadillas, grilled tofu burgers, homemade hummus and pita bread, and freshly made soups and salads.
