Marmite
Culinary couple Bruce and Sara Naftaly, whose pioneering French restaurant Le Gourmand broke some hearts when it closed, have healed all wounds with this rustic-chic Capitol Hill restaurant. The stars of the menu are gorgeous French broths, made in the namesake 40-gallon cooking pot, like soupe du pecheur’s halibut stock teeming with Whidbey Island mussels and wild steelhead. Sara’s bakery next door, Amandine, provides lovely pastries and breads, and she also oversees an spot-on cocktail menu.
