We’re just a few days away from one of the most delicious times of the year – Seattle Restaurant Week! Don’t let the name fool you, it’s actually two weeks long (April 8-12 and 15-19) and there are SO many restaurants to choose from. It’s an opportunity for diners to try new restaurants that they haven’t experienced before, so take a look at the list and find somewhere you haven’t visited yet! They make it easy for us – you can sort by neighborhood to find restaurants near your home or work. Don’t forget, many of the 150+ restaurants involved are also offering great lunch menus as well. Click on an individual restaurant’s name to see what their fixed menu is – pick your favorites and go! Seattle Pockets recommends you plan a few lunch and dinner outings during these days to make the most of this great deal. Dinners include appetizer, entrée and dessert, with 3 options per course – all for just $28. For many of these participating restaurants, this is a huge steal! Reservations are HIGHLY recommended, so be sure to book ahead. Seattleite Magazine reports on the fun QR contest SRW is hosting- find these and scan to enter to win some great prizes.
3 restaurants I’m considering visiting during this promotion that I’ve never been before are Cuoco, Anchovies & Olives, and Cafe Flora.
Restaurants I recommend are: Bako, Barrio, Marche, Serious Pie and Via Tribunali (all new to SRW this year), Palisade, RN74 and Purple Cafe.
Now for the fun part – contest time! Seattle Pockets is giving away a $50 gift card to a mutually agreed upon restaurant between the winner and SRW. Contest ends 11:59pm Pacific Time, Monday April 9th, prize to be used April 15-19.
Here’s how to enter (you can enter both ways)
1) Post a comment on this blog! Share with us the restaurant you’re most excited to visit during SRW or one you’ve visited during previous SRWs
2) Follow @keridwyn and @SeattleRW on twitter & tweet
I want to win $50 to @SeattleRW from @keridwyn #seattlepockets / contest: http://bit.ly/HmsCgS
You can tweet once a day. Good luck and happy dining!

Posted by Shaye W | April 8, 2012, 2:14 PMLast SRW I discovered Camelita Vegetarian Restaurant and it was amazing! I’m not even vegetarian and it was so yummy!
Posted by Katie T. | April 8, 2012, 12:24 AMOh! I haven’t tried them yet – thanks for the suggestion! I’m not vegetarian either but try to not eat meat when possible and have many veggie friends. Will have to give them a try!

Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:31 AMSRW gives me reason to live through seattle winters!
Posted by ashleys237@yahoo.com | April 7, 2012, 12:54 AMI accidentally walked into the SRW at Spring Hill last year and it was fantastic. I haven’t tried their new theme yet.
Posted by Shawn | April 7, 2012, 12:06 AMHow fun!
Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:31 AMThis year I’m going to participate for sure! Making it my goal to try at least a 3rd of them.
Posted by Andre | April 6, 2012, 11:43 PMWe’ve been meaning to give Tilth a try.
Posted by JD Northwest | April 6, 2012, 11:21 PMI want to try The Pink Door, we have heard wonderful things.
Posted by mikedaniellezachcalleigh | April 6, 2012, 11:07 PMThey are fantastic!
Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:31 AMIwant to try Pink Door, I have heard wonderful things.

Posted by erindean | April 6, 2012, 10:46 PMI’d love to go to Barrio actually their menu looks great <3
Posted by Mab (@mabdese) | April 6, 2012, 10:36 PMAnchovies and Olives!
Posted by alisoncsays | April 6, 2012, 9:56 PMI can’t wait to try Crush! I’ve heard so much about it already and am glad that the reservations weren’t all booked when I made mine!
Posted by Nina | April 6, 2012, 9:50 PMI want to eat at Chandlers!
Posted by Abby B. | April 6, 2012, 9:49 PMCoterie Room looks amazing!! I dream of foie gras over buttered toast…
Posted by Michelle | April 6, 2012, 9:36 PMI’ve wanted to try LoLa for soooo long – SO glad they’re participating in RW!
Posted by Katrina Helle | April 6, 2012, 9:36 PMI would be super stoked to try Spur Gastropub for dinner because Kelsey Hunsinger took me there for french toast ice cream and it had me hook-line-and-sinker! So delicious. I’d also like to try Golden Beetle, because a golden beetle sounds simultaneously majestically exotic and not appetizing at all, so I think it would be quite the adventure to check it out. Nom nom nom.
Posted by Whitney Farowich | April 6, 2012, 9:35 PMhaha! you are so cute!
Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:31 AMFirst up is Marche, really looking forward to seeing what’s happening with the new changes made. But equally excited for stop #2 ……Cantinetta. Have heard so many great things about the place and SRW this is the perfect way to try them out. #3…..come on, even a “foodie” has to “stop and smell the roses”.
Posted by Marcos | April 6, 2012, 9:35 PMThis looks like a great excuse to travel south to La Medusa
Posted by Ken | April 6, 2012, 9:31 PMI have heard great things about Pair and would love to give them a try.
Posted by curtislu | April 6, 2012, 9:16 PMHaven’t been either! Sounds like a great place.
Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:32 AMI tried The Pink Door. It was terrific!!! Hope to go back there again!
Posted by Amanda | April 6, 2012, 9:14 PMSeastar! The menu looks incredible, and we’ve heard nothing but rave reviews. I can’t wait!

Posted by Keridwyn | April 8, 2012, 1:32 AMTwo that I’m looking at going to next week are The Coterie Room and BOKA Kitchen+Bar! Going to the Hard Rock as well, even though I’ve already been… can’t pass up the amazing deal!
Posted by Caressa Ordona | April 6, 2012, 8:52 PMI’ve been meaning to try out Wild Ginger. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by Bao | April 6, 2012, 8:45 PMSweet delicious restaurant week! Deciding between Crush and Chez Shea. They both look so good, though; might just have to go to both!
