Travel Dining the Smart Way

I think it goes without saying that when you travel; a big part of your cultural experience is… eating at new places! As an avid traveler and diner, I have found the best deal in the Northwest is the
Passport Unlimited Card. If you haven’t yet heard of it then you are really missing out. The passport card gets you buy one get one free entrée (actual terms are – the lowest price adult entrée in the party is compliments of the restaurant). You can use your card at specified (great restaurants!) in Washington, California, Idaho, Illinois, Oregon, and Vancouver, BC.

Top Picks You Shouldn’t Miss;

Seattle
Buenos Aires Grill — You can get out and have a real experience (whilst saving money by using your card) at the Buenos Aires Grill. The raison d’etre is this restaurant has exquisite tango dancers that perform Friday and Saturday nights. Delicious Argentinean food coupled with a sultry atmosphere makes this a great place for a romantic date or for a dinner party with old friends.

Twist – If you are traveling to Seattle in search of night life than Twist is a great place to wind down. After you have crawled your way through Seattle into the late night hours and need a little something to eat, that isn’t a street side dog! The crowd is lively and the décor is posh. The calamari is D-lish!

Portland
Isabel Pearl – The Pearl district downtown Portland is known for its fabulous boutiques and superb dining. Amongst the many options is a little gem, Isabel Pearl. She is both the chef and cookbook author. Her cuisine offers a myriad of color and flavor that makes you forget that you are eating something healthy. It offers vegans, vegetarians and even low-carb dieters a place where they can feed their soul.

Vancouver, BC
I have yet to try out the Passport Card options in Vancouver, BC. They are Carmelo Ristorante Italiaono; La Piazza Dario; La Gavroche and Pepitas.
