2013 Year in Review

No better time than the end of the year to look back and recap some of our favorite restaurants / dishes & experiences of 2013. It was a busy year indeed. There was a great deal of traveling, we got married (finally after 5 years:) Seattle became Jose’s 2nd home, thanks to work. In addition to all of the goings on we met a ton of incredible people many of whom we shared some of our most special moments with.

These end of year roundups are never easy and It’s incredibly hard to rank meals or dishes for enjoying a meal depend on a multitude of factors, ingredients, technique but most of them are objective like the company, the space and of course the service..

Here we bring you 1.our favorite top 18 most memorable restaurants and dishes. (in alphabetical order)  2. Our favorite go to restaurants that we frequent without fail.  3. A look at some of our favorite overall experiences from the trip, to the room, to the food.

  1. Great!

    Will you review Azurmendi in your blog? It’s a restaurant I really want to test, and not expensive for a 3 Michelin stars place.
