The holiday season is in full swing and during the ‘It’s a Wonderful Burien’ event series, the City of Burien and community partners invite you to visit Burien for unique and festive entertainment and dining options that will save you time, hassle and maybe even a little cash.

“While residents always have easy access to enjoy the impressive array of restaurants and breweries, Burien has distinguished itself as a destination for those looking for a delicious night (or day) out. As The Seattle Times wrote. “Explore Burien’s ‘eat streets’ for a culinary adventure.

“In Burien, you enjoy a global dining scene that features cuisines from every continent except Antarctica — Mexican, Thai, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Greek, Ethiopian, Chinese, Australian, Italian, and Peruvian, to name a few.”

During the holidays you are sure to find some seasonal specialties in a variety of cuisines paired nicely with local warm hospitality. Free, easy parking make Burien a great destination for dining anytime, but especially for the holidays.
