Dining

There’s a lot of good food within walking distance of the Fairmont Hotel. Nice, flat walking distance. We have a full local area guide available as a PDF, but for those of you who prefer to read off the web site, or are on smart phones, we are also presenting the data below, with links, photos and maps.

The Fairmont has several restaurants inside or immediately adjacent to the hotel, including:

• Fairmont Express Cafe
• Fountain Restaurant
• Pagoda Restaurant – Bamboo Lounge
• The Grill on the Alley
• McCormick & Schmick’s
• Bamboo Sushi Cart
• Cafe Stretto

In addition, you can take part in the Fairmont’s elegant Afternoon Tea or hang out in the wonderful Lobby Lounge.

Nearby Restaurants and Services

One of the members of our committee spent an afternoon in February 2009 walking around the area near the Fairmont and has posted a gallery of local restaurants and other services (ATMs, grocery and drug stores, etc.). All of these photos were taken within a five-to-fifteen-minute walking distance of the Fairmont.
