Food Porn: The Whale Wins

"To eat The Whale Wins' roasted chicken is to ask: Is this the best restaurant in Seattle? While it's perhaps slightly premature to arrange a coronation for the 3-month-old restaurant, it wouldn't be entirely outrageous if staffers started making room in a supply closet for a scepter and crown. The Whale Wins is already serving astonishingly wonderful food in a setting which feels very reflective of the city around it." Read the rest of Hanna Raskin's review here

The menu abounds with loveliness. The Whale Wins wrings novelty from supple roasted beets and crunchy hazlenuts, paired with a tablet of feta and a bravely bitter parsley relish, and a clump of braised greens dressed up with Moroccan spices.

Braised greens, chermoula, 6 minute egg and toasted sesame seeds.
