Girl Eating Porridge, an 1874 painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, part of the Farm to Table exhibit now on display at the Seattle Art Museum.
Seattle Art Museum Restaurant Gets a New Exhibit
Market, the restaurant inside the Seattle Art Museum, will close at the end of this year. Edmonds-based Feedme Hospitality Group opened the outpost of its casual seafood spot in 2021, bringing the much-hyped lobster rolls to downtown. Now, reports Puget Sound Business Journal, Feedme will swap it out for an outlet of its full-service fusion restaurant, Bar Dojo, expected to open in the spring. Anyone planning to get one last meal in at Market can work up an appetite at the museum’s current exhibit, Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism.
Running Dry
On November 30, Pike Brewing will close its Pike Place Market location and, with it, an era. Charles and Rose Ann Finkel founded Pike Brewing at the dawn of the craft brewery age, opening in 1989 and moving to the current location in Pike Place Market in 1996. Rose Ann passed away in 2020, and Charles sold the business to Seattle Hospitality Group. As Washington Beer Blog notes, SHG bought Fremont Brewing Company in 2024, and streamlined production by brewing Pike at Fremont, which it will continue to do.
Yes on Yemeni
One year ago, there were zero Yemeni restaurants in Seattle; now we are on the cusp of a third opening. Following in the footsteps of Renton’s Café Yemen and Kent’s Taste of Yemen will be Lynnwood’s the Yemeni House.
Smoke on the Water
Another week, another fire; this time it was Greenlake Bar & Grill going up in flames in the early morning, due to a gas leak, per the fire department. The restaurant left the Neighborhood Grills group this summer, and the new management hasn’t commented on the restaurant’s status or plans for recovery.
Adiós, Pablo
The Leschi location of Heavy Restaurant Group’s Pablo y Pablo closed this week, saying, “It has been very slow throughout the fall and would likely remain that way in the winter and early spring.” The Wallingford location remains open.
Sea Creature Watch
Neighborhood blog Capitol Hill Seattle is keeping a close watch on the former Bateau–General Porpoise–Boat Bar block and reports that…we’re still waiting. The retooled Bateau (and whatever else might be happening) is taking a backseat to the Pioneer Square projects and won’t open until at least February.
HomeGrown, Re-Grown?
The local sandwich shop that grew to a dozen locations before shuttering 10 of them and laying off more than 150 people seemed to be completely at the end earlier this month when the final two stores closed. A notice on the downtown location door said the company owed nearly a half-million dollars in back taxes. Now, just a few weeks later, Puget Sound Business Journal reports the store is back in business. But that was about all the paper could figure out, noting the company didn’t answer requests for comment and saying, “It’s unclear how the struggling HomeGrown survived this latest setback.”
Oh, BTW, here’s what you missed last time.
