Rickey's Eats Vol. 4
Pie Bar
1361 E Olive Way
Seattle, WA 98122
$$
Located at the bottom of “The Hill” this bar serves up a wide selection of both sweet and savory pies. From steak and potatoes to apple crumble and everything in between the Pie Bar is a Capitol Hill must. The menu rotates regularly so there is always something new to try. The drinks, while on the expensive side, will pair perfectly with their pies to create wonderful flavor combinations. Be sure to get there early in the night as the small bar quickly fills and a line will form but for some of the best pies west of the Mississippi it will be worth the wait.

Toulouse Petit offers some of the closest of what could be consider Cajan and Soul Food found in Seattle. Running upwards of $13 or $14 a plate this restaurant adds a fresh spin on southern classics that are more than worth it. Located minutes from Seattle Center Toulouse Petit is a perfect place to take a date for brunch before going and exploring either Queen Ann or one of the many festivals nearby. While not in the city center itself this restaurant is a short bus ride or uber way from all Seattle has to offer.
