Tuesday, September 22nd, Barrio will open at the base of Bellevue Towers for dinner. The modern Latin and Mexican food-inspired restaurant will be the second of 2, the first being on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. Barrio translates to “neighborhood” in Spanish and will be a nice addition to our neighborhood with seating to accommodate more than 130 diners.
The interior will feel a lot like the Capitol Hill location, with a central bar, heavy chairs, and glowing candle-lit wall. Many people are familiar with Purple Cafe and Wine Bar, which is under the same umbrella as Barrio – managed by Heavy Restaurant Group. Executive Chef, Mike Davis – Walla Walla’s highly acclaimed 26brix, and Wine Director, Dawn Smith – Seattle Magazine’s Sommelier of the Year, will oversee food and beverage operations at Barrio Bellevue.
The food at Barrio is unique and a real treat for those who enjoy fresh ceviche, bold flavors, and creative cocktails. Their salsas are homemade and served with plantain chips. You can order a variety of small tacos, and their food is great for sharing. Barrio will be unlike any other Mexican restaurant in the area.
Barrio Bellevue will be open Monday through Thursday, 11am – 11pm; Friday, 11am – 1pm; Saturday, 10am – 1am; Sunday 10am – 10pm.
