NEW RESTAURANTS

Bake Shop Like List
Former Hot Cakes director of operations Krista Nelson and London Plane Like List alum Madeline McDonald opened this all-day cafe serving pastries, sourdough, toasts, sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and salads in Queen Anne in late December. The spot also serves coffee, loose-leaf tea, kombucha, beer, and natural wine by the glass or bottle and encourages customers to bring their own cup to minimize waste.

Bar Miriam Like List
This old-timey gastropub and cocktail bar opened in Queen Anne in February, serving craft cocktails, aperitifs, local beer, and wine alongside bites like charred escabeche, tandoori eggplant, ricotta gnocchi, Kentucky fried soft-shell crab, cassoulet croquettes, and avocado-yuzu whoopie pies. Stranger contributor Meg van Huygen writes, "The cocktail list is immaculate, echoing chi-chi bars like Foreign National Like List or Canon Like List , while the space itself is no-frills, with regular bracketed shelves built right into the wall behind the bar to hold up the liquor. But they're clearly big liquor nerds here; the bottle collection is loaded with arcane stuff."

Big Max Burger Co. Like List  
The Queen Anne fine-dining restaurant Eden Hill Like List 's more casual, family-friendly spinoff Eden Hill Provisions rebranded as the fast food-centric Big Max Burger Co. in November. The spot, which features self-order kiosks and a Coke machine, highlights Eden Hill Provisions' most popular item, the eponymous Big Max burger (named for chef/co-owner Maximillian Petty and featuring two beef patties, lettuce, bread and butter pickles, caramelized and chopped red onion, smoked cheddar, malt-maple ketchup, and "Max sauce" on a challah bun). Besides the namesake burger, the menu also includes the "Queen Animal" (a burger with smoked bacon, frizzled onions, avocado, and house barbecue sauce), deep-fried "caramel corn" Brussels sprouts, a veggie burger with pastrami-cured celery root, a "Hot Mama hen" buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, and a kid-friendly "Little Sammy Slider."

Bunsoy Like List
In February, Ballard Cut and Parish Northwest owner Tommy Patrick opened a new Filipino restaurant called Bunsoy in the former Matador space in Ballard, helmed by Parish Northwest chef Rhabbie Coquia. Coquia, who grew up in Manila, first launched the concept as a successful pop-up at Musang. The restaurant is named for a term of endearment for the youngest sibling (like Coquia himself).

The Chicken Supply Like List  
In 2021, chef Paolo Campbell transformed the former Opus Co. Like List space into his "dream restaurant," a Filipino fried chicken joint. The spot offers, of course, crispy battered poultry (thighs, drumsticks, skewers, and wings), as well as beans and rice, marinated vegetables, house-made pickles, coconut collard greens, cold pancit, crispy potatoes, garlic rice, and butter mochi. Things sell out quickly, so be sure to pre-order.

Sankaku Like List  
Named for the Japanese word for "triangle," this onigiri cafe and bar (previously a pop-up) officially opened inside Capitol Hill's Melrose Market at the beginning of January. The Stranger's Jas Keimig writes, "On a recent afternoon visit, I had two of Sankaku's classic onigiris: the ume konbu (salty pickled plum with konbu, a type of edible kelp) and the tuna mayo (flaky albacore tuna doused in kewpie mayo with sesame seeds). Unlike traditional onigiri that has all the filling in a compacted center, Sankaku disperses it throughout the ball so that each bite is a delicate mix of rice and filling...I found myself in a satisfying rhythm of rice ball, cucumber, rice ball, cucumber, ascending to a kind of textural heaven."

WeRo Like List
Wes Yoo, who had bought the Ballard cocktail bar The Gerald Like List two years earlier, reconnected with his love of Korean comfort food in 2020 during the advent of the pandemic. Inspired by the food he ate growing up in Seoul, he started a Korean takeout pop-up, which quickly gained a loyal following. Now, Yoo has reopened the Gerald as WeRo (a Korean word meaning "comfort," "upwards," and "to the stomach"), serving modern Korean food and cocktails. The updated menu, which is subject to change, offers 24-hour-roasted Yukon gold potatoes (a tribute to the kind often found at Korean highway rest stops), jeon (savory kimchi pancakes), fried wings, and ssam platters with steak or tofu.

MariPili Tapas Bar Like List
It was with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to the iconic Capitol Hill spot Cafe Presse Like List in February, but at least there's a silver lining: The space will be taken over by chef Grayson Corrales, who will open her debut restaurant MariPili, a Spanish tapas spot inspired by the flavors of the Galicia region, this spring.

Upshaw hasn't yet announced a location for the Korean comfort food business but hopes to open it sometime in late spring or early summer 2022.
