The Best Croissants In Seattle

2 days ago | theinfatuation.com | Aimee Rizzo |Kayla Sager-Riley |Gabe Guarente

Suppose we held a croissant seminar and invited (forced) all the deflated French pastries across Seattle to enroll. Meet the professor. Fuji’s laminated showing is the platonic ideal to aspire to, which is all the more exciting for a bakery known for donuts. With a brittle-thin shell that cracks like crème brûlée, subtle sweetness, and a beehive-like network of moist, malty fluff inside, it has everything you want in such a classic—and nothing you don’t.
Order everything at Rosellini's, but prioritize the croissant - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

2 days ago | theinfatuation.com | Aimee Rizzo

If the morning line is any indication, Rosellini's is the best bakery in Ballard. Their French pastry showing is excellent—with standouts including a chewy baguette and cinnamon-swirled coffee cake—but it's truly their croissant that would satisfy even the most uptight of snoots. This thing's exoskeleton is blistery with multiple wafer-like layers of shatter, intense butter notes, and a structure that bounces back up after each squish.
Union Dumpling House

4 days ago | theinfatuation.com | John Ringor

Union Dumpling House has opened in Lincoln Square, where Gather used to be. Expect a variety of dumplings with fillings like pork and chive or cilantro lamb, along with more fusiony ones. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Acerra Italian Kitchen & Bar

4 days ago | theinfatuation.com | John Ringor

Acerra is a casual Italian spot in Wicker Park. Their menu has fresh pastas like rigatoni vodka arrabiata or pappardelle bolognese, plus some Neapolitan-style pizzas, and entrees like ribeye and eggplant parmesan. They also have a patio if you prefer your bolognese “al fresco.”We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

4 days ago | theinfatuation.com | John Ringor

Takumi is a new ramen spot in Pilsen, located in the former SKY space. Along with a variety of different bowls, such as tonkotsu and Sapporo miso, they’ll also offer grilled skewers, donburi, and appetizers like takoyaki and fried oysters. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
King Kong Wings - Review - Hapeville - Atlanta - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Jacinta Howard

King Kong Wings in Hapeville is doing a whole lot. The massive menu has egg rolls, kimbaps in bowls, ramen, gyros, and phillys—all of which are honestly skippable. So you'll see far more folks in this small dining room hunched over wings or walking in for a 10-piece to-go. And that's exactly what you should be doing too. They’re small, fried hard and make a solid choice whether you’re grabbing wings for the game or settling into a hotel-bed dinner after a long flight.
El Legendario's lamb birria is a shining non-beef example - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Aimee Rizzo

With a surplus of pork and beef dominating taco menus everywhere, let’s take a moment to appreciate the humble lamb birria at El Legendario. It’s the leading role at this booth-filled, casual Fremont sit-down spot. Here you have everything you love about drippy birria, only with the slightly earthy notes that only lamb can bring to the proverbial table. The other dishes here are nothing special, but that's the beauty of putting on lamb birria blinders—you can skip the rest.
The Best Tacos In Seattle

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Kayla Sager-Riley |Gabe Guarente |Aimee Rizzo

This Capitol Hill staple is home to two of our favorite things: a giant lantern-lit fake tree in the middle of the dining room, and great shrimp tacos. Crisped tortillas hold their shape, even when filled with garlic-buttery fresh shrimp, chopped peppers, and cheese. One order of shrimp and an order of pork and beef birria is always the move. This low-key Greenwood restaurant serves incredible Mexican food. And the gravitational pull of the carnitas—our favorite rendition in the city—is intense.
The Grill From Ipanema is always fun, if inconsistent - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Gabe Guarente

photo credit: Gabe GuarenteThis Brazilian steakhouse in Belltown can be hit or miss in quality, but it’s still a good time. There's (usually) Bossa nova music playing and (always) a nice view of Elliott Bay to admire when you're not distracted by servers dashing around with giant slabs of meat. The restaurant serves a rodízio service—an all-you-can-eat parade where those slabs are carved tableside with flair.
The Best Fort Lauderdale Beach Restaurants

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Ryan Pfeffer

You can see the ocean from the outdoor patio of this hotel restaurant on A1A, which is why everyone wants to wait for a table out there. But at least the indoor tables have a nice view of an aquarium full of hypnotic jellyfish. The menu does everything a good steakhouse should: solid raw bar options, a wedge salad drenched in blue cheese and crispy bacon, and over a dozen steaks. But the 18oz dry-aged ribeye boosts this restaurant from good to great.
