Hard Rock Cafe Seattle A tourist trap worth falling into Yes, it’s a Hard Rock. And yes, it’s mostly for tourists and out-of-towners who don’t know better. BUT it does boast a pretty phenomenal astroturf topped rooftop bar, com- plete with cabanas, a fire pit, and commanding views of the Pike Place, and Elliott Bay behind the market’s famous neon sign.and the frustrated curses of people looking for parking under said trees recede gently into the background. A rooftop garden with food from one of the city’s best chefs Everything on this stunning, triangular-shaped restaurant’s “earth to plate”-inspired menu tastes better when you’re surrounded by an edible garden, one story above the considerable fray of the always bustling Melrose Market. Especially the water buffa- lo burger, or the Monday Night Paella.and the frustrated curses of people looking for parking under said trees recede gently into the background. Terra Plata 231 SEATTLE
