Burien is located just a few miles south of Seattle, but you won’t find the bustling energy of the big city there. What you will find are streets lined with some of the best eateries in the area, many of which could compete with some of Seattle’s top restaurants.
This little city is truly worth checking out when you’re hungry. These are just a few of Burien’s best dining options.
