Owned and operated by Felix and Sarah Penn, Pair is a neighborhood restaurant--near University of Washington--that features european-inspired dishes and a beautifully paired wine list. Their seasonal menu features produce from local farms and the very best the region has to offer.

The style here is small plates and the dishes are inspired. Heathly offerings of diverse flavors and textures with savory sauces and gorgeous greens round out seafood, lamb. beef and chicken dishes. If there are several people in your party, just graze the menu and get a taste of many of Pair's tapas as you can at this neighborhood chic cafe. There is no coincidence in the name "Pair", evidenced in the wine by the glass selection and the bountiful wine list--replete with some of Washington's well-establshed vineyards and rapidly rising stars.

This is a new TourSaver favorite and highly recommended.
