If there’s just one hot new restaurant to visit, this is IT. Saturne is my favorite restaurant of the moment, as I could eat there every day. The light wood frurniture from Alki, with Serge Mouille luminaries, the wine that eagerly awaits your discovery… there is so much to love about this place. I asked for a Bordeaux, and without saying another word, the server handed me a delicious Bourgogne, “Beaune,” which I adored. And, of course, how can I not mention the food? The young Swedish Swen Chartier plays with different tastes, making you think of different seasons, and how magical a great meal can be.

Still have doubts? I had lunch with a friend, whose family is originally from Italy – and she was just as charmed as I!
