Discover Olympia
As the Washington state capital, Olympia has a diverse population, and that diversity is reflected in the area restaurants. With close proximity to the ocean, it's no surprise that amazing seafood is found here. Cedar-planked salmon and steamed lobster can be enjoyed with a waterfront view. Authentic Indian curry stimulates your senses and will make your mouth water. Tandoori chicken and seekh kebabs are seasoned to perfection and cooked until tender. The tastes of the Mediterranean are also popular in this bustling city. Escape to another part of the world while enjoying sigara böreği or spinach mücver. Traditional American foods, like burgers piled high with fresh vegetables and chicken-fried steaks, are just as easy to find while touring the city’s sites.
