Yeah, Quinn's!

Quinn's is a couple years old now this last november and I am here to continue singing the praises of this amazing gastro-pub. We're getting into the right kind of weather to really appreciate Quinn's hardy culinary approach. For those of you who know Quinn's, you are familiar with the ever changing/inventive menu, top notch knowledgeable service and great old world neighborhood ambiance. but here are some things that you may not know about:

-the secret menu item: its the "ultra burger." the normal Quinn's burger with seared foie gras, braised oxtail and duck or pork pate. WOW! I know! Its a word of mouth item only and won't be offered unless you ask for it.

-the frites: all fries (whether with the burger or as their "poutine" dish) are cut fresh to order and are fried in beef fat.

-the bacon: excluding the burger, all bacon as a component in all the other dishes is actually dry cured in house.

-all fish items: as well as the fish and chips is ALWAYS fresh fish, never frozen, not imported from out of state or country and only sustainable sources. NEVER Salmon or halibut.

-Quinn's prides itself on acquiring everything they can within a 50 mile radius of the city.

-Quinn's does not take reservations. EXCEPT from me, your hotel concierge! Quinn's is one of my most favorite restaurants in Seattle and though not for everybody, I certainly hope those of you who haven't tried will be singing right along with me very soon and into the many years to come.

enjoy,
