Copperleaf Restaurant & Bar, Seattle

Soft-ripened goat cheese hand crafted in house, locally foraged truffles and chanterelles, and albacore tuna served the same day it was caught. These are just a few of the ingredients you'll find at Copperleaf Restaurant & Bar, where a commitment to everything local dictates the oft-changing menu.

With Roy Breiman and Mark Bodinet—Culinary Director and Executive Chef, respectively—at the helm, the award-winning restaurant has set the standard for inventive contemporary cuisine. These guys won't settle for less than the best, and they've determined that "the best" means locally sourced specialty ingredients that you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. But Copperleaf's ambiance is also integral to its appeal; it's been called one of Seattle's most romantic restaurants by Open Table diners, narrowly beating out an open-air picnic atop the Space Needle.
