Seattle named one of America’s best foodie cities

by Elizabeth Kanzeg Rowland

Seattle is a foodie’s paradise, according to a new report from WalletHub.

The finance company ranked American cities based on criteria like quality of restaurants and food costs using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, TripAdvisor and other sources.

Seattle ranked No. 4, outranking popular food destinations like Los Angeles and New York.

Accessibility, quality and diversity propelled Seattle’s status. The city ranked fifth in the country for the ratio of full-service restaurants to fast-food establishments, and tied for first as the city with the most craft breweries and wineries per capita.

“In the best foodie cities, there are tons of unique culinary experiences to try, from food trucks to specialty-food stores to, in some cities, Michelin-starred restaurants,” said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo. “The top cities cater not just to people who enjoy dining out, but also to foodies who enjoy putting their own skills to the test by exploring new flavors in their own kitchens. In addition, these cities make delicious dining affordable for residents and visitors alike.”

All those food options come at a price, though: Seattle is the 166th city in the country in terms of food affordability.
