Renee first “fell in love” with restaurants when she took a job at the lauded (and now, sadly, closed) Boat Street Café to help pay her way through school. What was supposed to be a temporary gig turned into a life-changing opportunity when, in 1998, Renee was offered a chance to buy the restaurant.
Five years later, the Café was relocated to its new home on Western Ave, just a few short blocks from the famous Pike Place Market–with its bevy of stores and vendors that are as intrinsic to the Market’s history as the Market is to Seattle’s.
Places like DeLaurenti Food & Wine, an Italian food and wine shop where you can find artisan meats and cheeses; City Fish, one of the oldest continuously operating fish markets in the country known for their fish-throwing vendors; and, of course, Sur La Table.
