Scintillating Mandarin and Szechuan dishes include shrimp or chicken mu shu, crispy tea-smoked duck with hoisin sauce, and Land and Sea clay pot stew. With its contemporary yet unpretentious ambience and great menu, Snappy Dragon tends to get quite crowded at times, so reservations are recommended.

206-623-0629 | | | | | Description: SODO. Trying to figure out where to find the best barbecue on your world travels? This casual eatery should climb its way to the top of your list, as it has that of folks in Seattle. Have them pile a bun full of pork, beef, or ham, and top it off with a drizzle of sauce for the best eating. If you like "hot" foods, just be careful their hot sauce makes others pale in comparison. Along with everthing else, make sure to try the yummy baked beans too. The eatery is essentially an order window with outdoor tables, so don't expect sit-down service. This is barbecue, after all. Near the baseball stadium.

206-789-3770 | | | | | Description: SHILSHOLE. A quintessential Seattle experience is having a meal at Ray's. Views of the mountains and the water, especially in sunset's glow, thrill diners almost as much as the cuisine. While many dishes have Asian flair (like pan-seared scallops in green curry or kasu-marinated black cod), others revel in simple preparations, like oysters on the half-shell, crab cakes, and grilled wild salmon. The downstairs venue offers upscale dining; the cafe upstairs is a bit more casual. A wonderful wine list ensures that you'll have a terrific vintage to complement the food.

206-621-1984 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. The downtown crowd has plenty to choose from when it comes to restaurants, but the options narrow when the subject of "the best oysters in town" is broached. This Seattle standby holds its own in the face of myriad newbies that have popped up over the years. Clubby and suave in an old-fashioned way, Shuckers takes oysters seriously, whether steamed, pan-fried, or just plain raw. For those who don't dig shucking, options like beer-battered fish and chips, seared ahi tuna with wasabi salad, fried calamari, and the signature Northwest seafood chowder are wise bets.

To accompany such fare, try excellent lentil soup or a bowl of chili, and don't forget the famous, extra-sweet lemonade.
