Lobster Roll at Bar Harbor
It’s Maine in this office building lobby, by way of Pottery Barn, and the toasted white roll spilling meaty lobster in its mayo-chive-celery wash is a (little) plate of sublime. —Kathryn Robinson
Thiebou Djeun at La Teranga
In this tiny nook, sweet expat Mamadou Diakhate makes winter warmer with Senegal’s national dish: white fish stuffed with garlic and herbs, served over broken jasmine rice, in a chunky stew lit with fire. —KR
Tempura Veggies at Feed Co. Burgers
Not to blaspheme, but crisp-fried wedges of kabocha squash might be a better burger companion than fries? The casual counter, kin to Uneeda Burger and Quinn’s, has a new Central District location; like the Redmond original, there’s a seasonal tempura vegetable on the sides menu. —Allecia Vermillion
Pike Vita Blonde Coffee Ale
Pike Brewing and Caffe Vita: Two stalwarts from Seattle’s beer and coffee world make one collaborative golden ale that looks like summer but tastes like a brisk January morning. —AV
