There is no question that Washington has an amazing dining scene – but most of it, along with most things in the state, is clustered in the massive Seattle metro area and nearby cities around the state’s winding coastline. With so much amazing food hiding in that one small area, why would any foodie drive over two hours to a small city of around 2,200 people? Because that city is Leavenworth, a unique German-accented city in the North Cascades, and it’s home to the best hidden gem restaurant in Washington – Yodelin Broth Company and Beer Garden. A thriving hotel restaurant built into the historic Bavarian Ritz hotel, this unique restaurant specializes in a combo of all-American eats and lighter Asian-influenced fare, with a huge drink menu and an unforgettable atmosphere. We’re blown away by this restaurant, and we think you will be too.

Visiting Leavenworth feels like stepping into a European village, but did you know it's also a culinary destination?
