It’s the season for comfort food, so here’s a roundup of some great spots for warm, cozy menu options.
Clam chowder from Duke’s Seafood and Chowder
This Northwest staple from Duke’s Seafood and Chowder is available at all eight locations of this Seattle institution. The roux is cooked for 7 minutes at 185 degrees, a key base for a well-balanced creaminess that warms up any cold winter day.
Ramen at Yoroshiku in Wallingford
This Japanese soul food is made from scratch and cooked with love. We recommend the spicy miso ramen on a cold day.
Yoroshiku | 1911 N 45th St, Seattle, WA 98103 | (206) 547-4649
Hand-cut pasta at Spinasse on Capitol Hill
You can watch them make the noodles as you dine, and the beautiful bowls of egg pasta with butter and sage or scrumptious ragu are big enough to share. (But you'll want it all for yourself.)
Spinasse | 1531 14th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122 | (206) 251-7673

Deep dish pizza at Windy City Pie in Phinney Ridge
The meticulously-crafted pizzas offer an authentic Chicago experience. Every ingredient is fresh and they make their own sausage. Each pie requires ample time to build and bake, and online pre-orders are required.
Windy City Pie | 5918 Phinney Ave N, Seattle WA 98103 | (206) 486-4743
Mac and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches at Beecher's
Beecher's in Pike Place Market prepares both comfort food classics with Beecher's Flagship Cheddar, a cheddar gruyere blend that's aged for 13 to 18 months. You can also watch them make cheese curds, which become the base for future orders.
Beecher's | 1600 Pike Pl, Seattle, WA 98101 | (206) 956-1964
Cinnamon rolls from The Maltby Café in Snohomish
The country-style, housemade cinnamon rolls are famous for good reason – they’re delicious and big enough to split with your entire family.
The Maltby Café | 8809 Maltby Rd, Snohomish, WA 98296 | (425) 483-3123
Molten Chocolate Cakes from Hot Cakes
The warm cakes are ooey-gooey goodness and worth every calorie. Additionally, all treats at Hot Cakes locations in Ballard and Capitol Hill are made with organic ingredients and good intentions.
Hot Cakes, multiple locations.

Hot cocoa at Loulay
This chic restaurant in downtown Seattle features a deceptively simple French version called Chef's Hot Chocolate. It’s prepared in a pot on the stove and served with slices of fresh-baked bread that are expertly toasted. Dunking is encouraged.
Loulay | 600 Union St, Seattle, WA 98101 | (206) 402-4588
