Seattle's Most Niche Cuisine: Eastern European Food
đ Hye Life Cafe & Bar The flavors might not be for everyone, but I personally found them deliciousâthough they may not appeal to all kids. Still, itâs fun to try something new once in a while! Appetizers đ„ Eggplant Roll: I loved it, though itâs a bit indulgent đ. Chilled eggplant wrapped around cheese, nuts, and a vinaigrette dressingâunexpectedly delicious! Soups đČ Borsch: The precursor to borschtâa sweet and tangy beet soup. Refreshing, and even better with a dollop of cream. Solyanka: A Russian sour-spicy soup made with sausage and olives. Itâs tangy, but since Iâm not an olive fan, it was just okay for me. Main Course đ„ We ordered a massive BBQ Platter that looked incredibly generous and exciting. It included lamb chops, pork ribs, grilled pork, and chicken drumsticks, served with flatbread, fried potatoes, roasted peppers, tomatoes, and zesty side salads. The lamb chops were a bit dry (not as good as homemade), but overall, I loved the platterâespecially the grilled pork! That said, the seasoning and spices are distinct, so it may not suit every palate. Drinks đ„€ I had a cappuccino in an adorable cupâtasty and well-made. They offer a wide coffee selection, and Iâd love to try their affogato next time! The final bill came to $46 per person (including tax and tip). Not exactly cheap, but definitely not a rip-off. The portions are huge and heartyâwe couldnât finish everything and took leftovers home. Even cold, the food was still delicious đ. #SeattleFood #SeattleEats #SeattleLife #HiddenGems #EasternEuropeanCuisine#foodguide#Seattle#HyeLifeCafe&Bar
