Peyrassol Cafe

There's a lovely French-ish cafe just a short walk from one of the best Lake Washington views in the South End, and it's called Peyrassol. Use it for a night out involving a rack of lamb or some good old boeuf bourguignon, but we can't quit their pasta. Like pappardelle tossed in a silky pork ragú and topped with sage butter which can easily compete with Seattle’s best Italian spots. It's also a great spot to swing by on your own for a steaming hot plate of pasta and a glass of red near the lake.
