Great meals forged in chaos, from finessed fine dining to a double dose of bagels.
Meesha s menu draws from multiple regions of India.
Restaurants have now spent a year jolting over the potholes of our pandemic dining protocols. And a small but battle-tested new guard has never known any other type of existence. Over the past six months, we welcomed some long-anticipated spots, plus others that sprang into existence as an unintended upside to last springâs shutdown chaos. A few currently offer adapted versions of their original vision, like a gorgeous Capitol Hill wine bar that sits empty while the kitchen puts out creative lunchtime pizza. (Fear not, Seattleâs newcomer pizza game remains strong, and more varied by the day.)
Famed Rubinstein Bagels opens new cafe in downtown Seattle Christina Ausley, SeattlePI
Rubinstein Bagels
It has been a long time coming and a rocky 2020, but 2021 is off to a tasty start as the famed Rubinstein Bagels has officially opened an outpost in downtown Seattle.
Nestled inside the Via6 apartment building, across from the Amazon Spheres, owner Andrew Rubinstein never necessarily thought he’d be a bagel maker, but “That said, I’ve always loved feeding people, hosting friends and seeing the delight they take in the food I make,” he noted.
While Rubinstein originally spent around 20 years trying to fit his artistic personality into various business roles like that of sales and marketing, he found himself wanting more given his hunger for creative work.
