If you are around Alki Beach on a sunny or at least clear day, I have a suggestion for you. Marination Makai with Hawaiian specialities, umbrellas, deck, and an awesome view of the Seattle skyline is the perfect spot.
And for a little adventure, if you come from Seattle Downtown, take the Water Taxi. Marination is just in front of you at the Water Taxi Dock.
In April we went back to Joule for brunch. This time, the buffet featured Argentinian flavors. And once again, it was delicious, surprising, flavorful, and unique.
We enjoyed cocktails in the patio before being seated.
From the menu, I had the coriander yogurt with coconut granola and rhubarb, and my two friends chose the Steak Coulotte with cilantro chimichurri and eggs.
And then we enjoyed the Buenos Aires buffet. May is Mexican Brunch.
Read my previous posts about Joule, yes I know I am a fan…

Mamnoon is one of my favorite Seattle restaurants. They serve fabulous Syrian and Lebanese cuisine.
Last time we went, we enjoyed every dish we ordered. The salads and the keftas (minced beef and lamb) were delicious. We also ordered flavorful stuffed vine leaves (Dolmeh). We discovered a new dish: Muhammara. It is a dip made with pepper paste, walnuts, pomegranate, and cumin.
They also have a great list of cocktails; I recommend the No. 13- Lily of Bekaa Valley (saffron infused Lillet, Elderflower liqueur, and Prosecco)
I also love the beautiful, unique, and warm interior design. Colorful table tops, contemporary Middle Eastern and African pictures, partition between the lounge and the dining room, and also the pendant lights! I love everything. Try to ask to be seated in the lounge room, it is more convivial with its sofas and isn’t as loud as the main room.
If you want to go there for lunch be aware that the lunch menu is different and shorter.
Remember you can also take out: read my previous post.
