bellevue

Sam and I are in Bellevue, WA for a couple of days, and we have been striking gold at our restaurant choices. Here is the rundown (mostly so I can remember where we went.):

Wild Ginger-so good, esp the pad thai

Caffe Vovito-great coffee, fresh orange juice, and pistachio gelato

Top Pot doughnuts-best apple fritter I have ever had, and once again good coffee

The Pumphouse- (the Seafair pirates were there, yikes) Texan burger and Jalapeno burger

Le Panier-pain au chocolate, and amandine both amazing

Din Tai Fung-juicy pork dumplings, hot and sour soup, noodles with sesame sauce really, really good, worth the wait.

The Kingfish Cafe-Yam Fries (YUM) fried chicken and mashed potatoes and collared greens, pan fried catfish and grits, and felt like the south.
