If you’re exhausted about reading my posts about Seattle, then you almost know how we felt by Day 3! After walking around the city and putting so many miles on our feet, we decided to have a mellow day on our last day there.
We hung out at the Warwick during the morning, having breakfast in their restaurant, Margaux. After wandering one last time around Pike Place Market, where we mostly people watched, we had a great lunch at El Borracho.
We ended up back at the hotel for the rest of the afternoon, hanging out in our room and napping. Have I mentioned how much my feet hurt by then?
We did venture back out later, walking down to Pier 70 to have dinner at Aqua, By El Gaucho, which had been recommended by an old friend. Because the weather had been so beautiful, we decided to dine on their expansive outdoor deck. Talk about another incredible meal and unbeatable ambiance! It’s probably a good thing we didn’t find this restaurant on our first night–I would have eaten every meal there and not experienced any other places.
Since my favorite type of seafood is sea scallops, I had the sea scallops in lemon beurre blanc over risotto. UNBELIEVABLY excellent! I swear, the scallops just melted in my mouth! Additionally, since I LOVE crème brulee–and I mean the classic kind, not any special, novel flavor–I also had the crème brulee for dessert.
Lucky for me we still had a trek to make back to our hotel, since I was completely stuffed after this dinner and needed the exercise. Walking back to the Warwick, we could see the Space Needle lit up against the night sky.
A perfectly beautiful ending to a perfectly beautiful trip. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again!
