Best of Bellevue 2005

Where’s the best place to see and be seen in downtown Bellevue? How about the best place to walk your dog or pick up a bottle of wine?Bellevue Downtown Association posed these and other questions to Bellevue residents & workers and compiled a list for newcomers and old timers alike in its 3rd annual Haute Picks Awards.

Sponsored by Equity Office, Puget Sound Energy and Sterling Savings Bank, the Haute Picks Awards recognize the people’s choice of the best offerings in downtown Bellevue. The results were an eclectic mix of downtown businesses that reflect the diversity of the city itself.


Daniel’s Broiler won for best martini – shaken not stirred. For sushi, try the Mamenori Roll at Flo Japanese Restaurant. Need a chocolate fix, pick up some decadent hand made truffles at Oh! Chocolate.
