Altura Seattle

Altura sits at 617 Broadway E. The kitchen focuses on Modern Italian cooking, and the room runs smart and elegant.

The restaurant is a twenty-five-minute walk from the Seattle Asian Art Museum, a distance that acts as a useful filter. While other spots on the main drag favor the quick turnover of the nearby Broadway thoroughfare, Altura requires a full evening. It is the better choice for those who prefer a long, deliberate meal over the frantic pace of the neighborhood's more casual options.
