BITES AND DELIGHTS: A Taste Tour of the Fremont Sunday Market
The European-style open-air Fremont Sunday Market attracts visitors from all over Seattle and beyond with artisanal crafts, vintage wares and tasty treats.
The local restaurant scene deserves particular mention. Adventurous restaurateur Renee Erickson’s rustic eatery The Whale Wins serves locally sourced picnic-style small plates. Next door, Chef Rachel Yang dazzles with piquant Korean-fusion fare at Revel or for fine dining, stop by Agrodolce, an Italian trattoria focusing on organic pasta and Sicilian flavors.
Another Renee Erickson venture Hamptons-inspired Westward, on Lake Union, charms with an outdoor bar and Adirondack chairs cozily arranged around fire-pits; you can arrive by boat. Both fine dining and casual eats are well represented in the neighborhood, as is global cuisine. Try Café Turko for Turkish mezze, Kabul for Afghan kabobs and basmati rice and Kamonegi for Japanese soba – cosmopolitan living in this deeply rooted, yet rapidly evolving, part of Seattle.
