This is the best Thai in the immediate area! We especially love their tom kha, pad see ew, and green curry with brown rice. They do deliver, but it takes a very long time. Unless your not in a hurry it's better to order for pick up, like we do, or to eat at the restaurant.

Made here in Burien. Some of my favorites are the pear/caramel truffle and the marzipan log. They don't always have it, but the chocolate fudge is insanely good.

Be sure to make a reservation in advance for May Kitchen. It's by far the BEST Thai food in "Seattle." Open Table reviews places May's in the top 100 restaurants in the nation. Since there's no other Thai restaurant on the list...well, draw your own conclusions. Ask to view her pristine kitchen, meet the friendly staff, and hopefully May. Tell her Audrey from yoga sent you.

Great Mexican food in an "industrial-chic" slash funky environment in Georgetown. Georgetown is arguably the oldest neighborhood in Seattle. It's for sure the artsiest and the most eclectic. If your going lunch, go to Fran's Chocolates (across the street) afterwards, if for dinner get your chocolates ahead of time. You might want to check out the urban crafts and second-use goodness that is The Georgetown Trailer Park Mall (just behind the restaurant) as well.

A classic PNW Beach and even better when the mountain is out. It's always something to catch a view of Mount Rainier! Be sure to take the short, but scenic drive along the beach front road as well, Seahurst Drive.
