Addo Like List
Eric Rivera of the experimental restaurant pop-up Addo is channeling the Danish art of coziness with his new at-home "dining experience," "Let's Get Hygge," perfect for reclining by the fireplace in flannel pajamas and hand-knitted socks. You can choose between several "cozy kits for comfort," including chocolate (hot chocolate, truffles, and chocolate cake), soup and snacks (butternut squash soup, tiramisu, edelweiss cake, and tea), "broth and things" (chicken broth, cheese, Rivera's trademark "mom flan," and ice cream), baked goods (baked pasta with red sauce and meat, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies), and candy (a selection of nostalgic sweets). To really complete the cozy vibes, there's even an accompanying hygge YouTube playlist with relaxing sounds like a crackling fireplace, rain, and "wood cabin ambience." Packages are available for pickup or delivery on November 13 and 27.

Seven Stars Pepper Like List
Rich Smith writes, "Other Seattleites typically reach for pho if they want a big warm bowl of something, but when I require comestible comfort and nutrition, I seek the dan dan." He goes on to praise the hand-shaved dan dan noodles at Seven Stars as his favorite bowl in town: "In the morning, the cooks make a big block of dough and then hack hunks off of it with a kitchen knife. The resulting noodle is long, thick, and ragged. The thickness offers the comfort of a steamed dumpling, and the shape makes the noodle more receptive to the sauce—which is my other favorite part of the dish. Seven Stars goes with a very peanuty sauce, to which they add chili oil, Szechuan peppercorn oil, soy, garlic, cabbage, and green onion."

Capitol Hill

Watson's Counter
Jordan Michelman writes, "This is a specialty coffee shop (with Anchorhead as house roaster) that serves both an exemplary chocolate orange mocha and drip coffee alongside profoundly satisfying dishes like cereal-crusted french toast, hand-cut french fries with housemade gochujang, churros dusted in black sesame, fried chicken and waffles, a KBBQ pork plate, and habit-forming fried and battered 'Chicken Chonks' tossed in honey butter. A place that serves decent coffee with great food, or vice versa, isn’t necessarily hard to find; a place that serves a demonstrably great offering of both coffee and food is a balancing act of the highest order, and rare as hen’s teeth. It is enormously hard to pull off both food and coffee quality and maintain this level consistently, and Watson’s Counter does one of the best versions of it I’ve found in the Pacific Northwest."

Maximilien Like List
The intimate French bistro offers plastic weatherproof Igloos (or as they call it, "Le Igloo") for protection from the elements as well as prime rooftop views of the Seattle skyline. While the igloos are not heated, they do act as a "greenhouse" to keep guests warm, and bigger parties will generate more heat. Still, Maximilien recommends bundling up, just in case. The menu includes comforting dishes like raclette burgers, cassoulet, and duck confit. From December 1-14, they're also currently featuring three versions of their most popular dish, moules marinières Past Event Like List , made with Penn Cove mussels: the classic preparation with wine, shallots, and butter, as well as a “Provençales” variation with bacon and tomatoes and a “Roquefort” variation with beer, Roquefort, and cream.

They've also got other exemplary non-yolk-lava pies, like the autumnal Zucca Balsamica (butternut squash, caramelized onion, and balsamic) and the Clam Bake (white clam sauce, olive oil, and pancetta). Outdoor seating is available at all four locations, and the Mercer Island one even has a heated patio with blankets available for purchase (or you can bring your own).
