On Food Network's Giada's Weekend Getaways, Giada De Laurentiis orders from eclectic tapas menu from Chef José Andrés at Café Atlántico, in Washington, DC.

Giada went to a quintessential Seattle coffeehouse in Capitol Hill, where the beans are roasted on-site and the creation of coffee is taken "very seriously." Now with three locations, the Victrola Coffee Roasters brew "unbelievable Americanos" and "lattes that are almost too beautiful to drink."

As one of Seattle's foremost chefs, Tom Douglas has long been hailed as spearheading the movement for organic, sustainable and local cuisine. Giada loved the entire menu, which, from brunch to dinner, highlighted fresh seafood and produce. But you must save room for the made-to-order doughnuts.

You can't visit Seattle without a stop at the world-famous Pike Place Fish Market, a must-see experience where fish fly high over heads. Watch as its fishmongers throw fish like hot potatoes and poke fun at customers, and buy from its fleet of sustainable salmon, white fish, shellfish and more.

For a monumental stroll through D.C.'s favorite farmers' market, Giada heads to Dupont Circle where she finds the FRESHFARM Market and nibbles on blueberry scones and Manchego cheese. Open rain or shine, FRESHFARM Markets run more than 11 farmers' markets, representing over 150 farmers.

You'll find French Riviera Bakery & Cafe deep in the heart of Mexico. Offering a sweet taste of France with its flaky, fresh pastries, this San Jose del Cabo eatery also offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and teatime. Giada arrived early in the morning to get a fresh, buttery chocolate croissant.

At Black's Barbecue, the oldest family-run barbecue joint in Texas, slow-cooked ribs, brisket, sausage and more are the lay of the land. Don't expect to drown your meal in BBQ sauce here; Black's does its meat the old-fashioned way, so nothing gets in the way of its distinctive sweet smokiness.

Host of Food Network's Giada's Weekend Getaways, Giada samples the Bat-tini cocktail, in honor of the Bats Under the Congress Avenue Bridge, in Austin, TX.

On her weekend trip to Austin, Giada started off at South Congress Cafe where it's a little less country and a lot more chic. Chic decor or not, it still serves big Texas flavors, like Giada's rich carrot cake and French toast with pecan cream cheese frosting or the locals' favorite: crab cakes.

Jeffrey's of Austin, Texas, a local institution Giada called "the granddaddy of them all," was established in 1975 as one of the city's first fine dining restaurants. Years ago, their Crispy Fried Gulf Oysters put them on the map. Now, the housemade burrata and tenderloin tartare are other go-tos.
