We just came home after being away for 2 weeks and we were surprised to find a bunch of cool, new places on the hill. Here’s some of our fav’s:
1. La Bete: ”La Bete is about cooking the food that we like to eat without pretense or limitations. We want to showcase the bounty and beauty of the Pacific Northwest while building a sense of community in our neighborhood and local food scene.”
Okay, I haven’t eaten here yet, but when I walked in, I knew I was bound to love it. Oh and I’m so looking forward to trying the Gin-Ginger: gin, lime, ginger, mint, Rachel’s Ginger Beer. Maybe with the leg of lamb…
2. Bar Ferdinand: We spoke with the guy who runs the bar and said he was inspired to re-create the wine bars he found on his European travels. He said American wine bars install a bunch of fancy equipment, but they wanted to take a minimalist approach to their place and just serve great wine. We tried a Spanish wine that was very tasty!
3. Arabica Lounge: Great coffee. They did a great job with the decor. It’s a great place to meet friends and have a chat.
Capitol Hill just gets better and better.
