FEATURED CLIENT

Plum Bistro In her recent review, Seattle Times writer Providence Cicero calls Plum Bistro, "the nifty new vegan bistro in the Pike/Pine corridor...". Plum Bistro is located at 1429 12th Ave, and is the brainchild of chef/owner Makini Howell. Ms. Howell is the third generation of a 35-year-old family restaurant business (Hillside Quickie) specializing in vegan food. Ms. Howell spent 10 years in LA and New York as a fashion designer, and brings her artistry not only to her menu, but to Plum Bistro's ambiance as well. Ms. Howell notes that she, "...meticulously crafts her menu to reflect America as a blend of different cultures, offering familiar taste as well as exciting influences not found in vegan food elsewhere in the city." Plum Bistro is also "green", serving food that utilizes organic, natural, vegan products from local manufacturers and producers, helping to enhance the sustainability of our region. Plum's menu has a broad appeal, enjoyed by non-vegans as well. Ms. Cicero notes, "Plum's sauces and salad dressings have so much personality they often elevate the dish. Green tomato and avocado salsa smothering fried green tomatoes managed to be both sharply tart and smoothly creamy..." (Full Review: "A Plum of a restaurant caters to vegans and vegetarians"
