Best new restaurant in Seattle
Atoma took home the top spot this year. At the helm is owner Johnny Courtney and his wife Sarah. Eater reports Johnny is an alum of the famed Canlis restaurant, just off the shores of Lake Union.
The publication lauded Atoma for raising the bar on the popular "new American" and "Pacific Northwest" restaurant genre.
Best new bar in Seattle
Sophon is described as the innovative Cambodian American creation of former neighborhood-favorite bar Oliver's Twist's owner.
The dining room is "full of tropical plants and ikat textiles, a mural of the statue of King Jayavarman VII at Angkor Wat, and a menu of restyled Khmer dishes," according to Eater.
Best burger in Seattle
As cold days begin to settle in for western Washington, a hot burger can be a welcome reprieve. Thankfully, we now know one of the best in town.
Familyfriend has been crowned the best burger spot, thanks to owner Elma Dulla. The Kewpie Burger at the Beacon Hill location is described as "something special" and "artfully assembled."
"The Eater Award winners …. each [have] a strong perspective, a unique style, something that makes them more than just a place to get food. They are little worlds, and Seattle should count itself lucky that these worlds have landed here," reads an intro from Eater.
