⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Better late than never right? This was my experience as a Canadian in Seattle 🐝 You ever have a meal that was SO good that you’re sad you may never have something remotely close to it again? That’s how I feel about Matt’s In the Market. I went solo after my 1st full day in Seattle, sat at the bar top, and had an amazing server named Jeremy. I ordered an off menu cocktail ($18), Octopus Starter ($29), Halibut Main ($55), and Panna Cotta Dessert ($12). By far the best Octopus, Halibut and Panna Cotta I’ve ever had. The peppers for my starter were extremely spicy, I only had one and that was enough. But the rest was astoundingly good, seriously delicious and fresh octopus. Grilled Spanish octopus with English pea, mint, yogurt and those fresno chili. Then the halibut was panseared to perfection and the base were parsnips, charred leeks, with a velouté and chive oil. Creamy, light , fresh and phenomenal tasting. Everything paired well in these dishes. Then I ended with the Buttermilk Panna Cotta, a house made dessert with a hazelnut crunch and blueberry compote. Jeremy was absolutely amazing, he was extremely busy but gave me a list of places to try! What’s better than getting recommendations from a local? Funny story, he also mentioned how he was getting some Canadian cafe showing up on his feed lately… It was Elle’s Cafe 😂 I said that I live in the same city (Regina, SK) as that cafe ! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. While it was priced high, I’ve honestly had one of the best dinners I’ve ever had. This is the seafood you go to Seattle for. The bar was set extremely high for the rest of my Pacific North West trip. submitted by /u/TheFoodieBee |
