Hey everybody,

I am taking my parents to Seattle and Vancouver from Thursday- Wednesday (their Christmas Gift) and would like to know some nice family restaurants in the Seattle Area and Vancouver area that are not too expensive... Any recommendations?

 

hmmm... What kind of food? If you're in Vancouver pretty much any Chinese place in Richmond should be good.

 

Seafood... somewhere with fresh seafood. My parents alos love chinese food.

 

If you're in Seattle - Sea Garden in Chinatown makes a really great fresh crab in black bean sauce. Chinese and seafood all at once.

Anthony's Home Port has been around for a while - if they want to eat early (5ish) the "early dinners" are inexpensive and good.

Salty's has a good Saturday/Sunday brunch. We like it a lot. TONS of fresh seafood.

 

if you are going to be in vancouver bc, kirin on cambie and west 12th is good, its fairly expensive but i highly recommend it (chinese seafood resturant)


i forgot to mention, if you like oysters, rodney's oyster bar in yaletown is one of my favs as well

and hmmmm cannery is also good

 

I would HIGHLY recommed Salty's (alki Beach, Seattle) for excellent seafood!

 

i checked out the site for salty's and it looks amazing, i'm definitely going to make a visit there when i head to seattle next week




edit: sorry to change the topic but does anyone recommend any date/urban/trendy restaurants in the seattle downtown area?

 

There's always the classics, too. Canlis, Rover's, etc.

 

I love Canlis and Rover's (when the company pay$ - )

 

Is it Vancouver, WA or Vancouver, BC that you want restaurant info on?
