Sitka & Spruce |
Smoked salmon |
Almond garlic soup |
Braised lamb belly with poached egg |
The best “gift” that comes from traveling and exploring is finding the unexpected, and for me it’s a very special gift if it has to do with food. This past weekend in Seattle I stumbled across Melrose Market, a collection of purveyors and small restaurants in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. There I found chef Matt Dillon’s Sitka & Spruce where the almond and garlic soup and smoked northwestern salmon made the finest dinner of the trip, and where I returned for the braised lamb belly and poached egg over fava beans and asparagus for breakfast two days later. I also made a quick stop at Homegrown for oatmeal and a bacon and egg sandwich with Stumptown Roast coffee before heading off to the airport. This marketplace is a must-see for foodies and not to be missed on your next visit to Seattle.
