Sauce Nouvelle

American restaurant

👍👍 Absolutely phenomenal sandwiches, I forgot to ask which sauces they were… But whatever it was, was the best sauce-y goodness I had ever had, and the sandwich experience was so out of this world, that I was reminded of the first time I had a sub from Tats in Pioneer Square. Def worth a trip, and if y...

Winnies Ethiopian Coffee and Restaurant.

Ethiopian restaurant

👍👍 I have been a fan of Winnie's since opening day! She is an incredibly kind woman who makes wonderful coffee and pastries. Every time I go in I feel welcomed. The coffee is the best espresso I've had local to Renton. The space is warm and cozy with plenty of tables to sit and work remote. If you live...

Taqueria Taco Picante

👍👍 Unbelievably good Mexican food in Belfair! Every taco truck in Washington has the same exact food and the same exact menu and the same exact experience.

Overboard

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Overboard is a fun little restaurant. Some call is a speakeasy but I wouldn't really say it's that. It's a quaint little bar down the steps along the water. This place runs exceptionally lean with just two or three people I think. They were able to keep up for the most part which impressed me....

Gyro Star

Restaurant

👍👍 Excellent little Greek food place on the corner of Callow and 6th. The food is fresh and I'm pretty sure they make the pitas to order. We got the super gyro (lamb and beef), chicken gyro, and Greek fries and absolutely would eat again. They even gave us Palestinian chocolate wafers with our order...
