I've really loved what I've discovered in the Madrona neighborhood and, of course, downtown, the Market and in Belltown. Opal, Portage, and Wolf are not bistro fare. You might be thinking of the popular cluster at the other/south end of QA N. which includes the 5 Spot and Betty.<BR/>-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-5263812850554382402008-06-10T19:05:00.000-07:002008-06-10T19:05:00.000-07:00Right now most of the restaurants on the top of QA...Right now most of the restaurants on the top of QA are of the "overpriced bistro" variety, it seems. I'd nominate Madison Valley as the most likely heir to Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto - Rover's is the closest Seattle has to Chez Panisse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
