If only all visits to Madison Valley felt like a trip to Basque country. This restaurant may look small when you first enter, from the tiny tapas bar to the small cluster of tables near the open windows, but head down the stairs and seated amid the gorgeous stone walls lined with wine bottles and you’ll feel like you’ve left Seattle behind. All dishes are served to share, from the anchovy-stuffed olives to the gambas al ajillo. Order the Columbia City bread with the olive oil tasting—you know you’re going down that road anyway—and save room for desserts like the Tarta de Santiago, a moist, dense olive-oil cake.
