Brasa

This Mediterranean-inspired restaurant became an instant hit when it first opened and has developed a devoted following. Located near trendy Belltown, this is the place, rumor has it, to hobnob with celebrities who escape to the Pacific Northwest for outdoor recreation and indoor relaxation. The refined crowd comes for dishes mixing Mediterranean and Northwest influences, such as roast suckling pig and risotto with chanterelles. The rich velvety desserts add sweet finishing touches.
