Musang Seattle
Filipino•Beacon HillFood & Wine Best New Chef Melissa Miranda is leading a new generation of Filipino food at Musang, serving up innovative takes on her childhood favourites. That means dishes like a Filipino-style Caesar salad, mushroom sisig, and rich short rib kare kare, all of which led to several nominations for James Beard Awards. Locals love the cosy dining room inside the craftsman-style purple house, which spills out into a brick-lined back patio.

Regional American (Contemporary Southern)•DowntownEater, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and the James Beard Awards have all sung the praises of chef Kristi Brown's Seattle soul cooking at Communion. The pork neck stew is non-negotiable, alongside creative dishes such as ‘hood sushi’, or cornmeal-crusted catfish rolled with pickled veggies and remoulade. That plus the welcoming vibes in the industrial chic space set in the city's historic Black district have made Communion one of the country's best new restaurants in recent years.
