Bastille Day Festival at Our Madison Cafe

Seattle’s own Madison Valley Neighborhood is celebrating it’s very first Bastille Day on July 14th from 3-8pm. This festival of gourmet food, wine and entertainment, will take place on East Madison Street from 27th to 29th Avenue. Tickets for food and wine will be sold at the event along East Madison Street. Our Essential Baking Company Madison Cafe will be offering a special menu that can be purchased with your event tickets. See the Madison Valley Website for more details. Also see Bastille Bash on Facebook.

Bastille Day, known as La Fête Nationale (The National Celebration) in France, is the day the French reclaimed their prison, Bastille, from the stronghold of Louis XVI. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Children’s Response Center, a local nonprofit that provides legal and counseling services to children under 18 in east and north King County, who have experienced severe abuse.

The Mezze Platter

We recently introduced our Essential Breads & Spreads to our Madison and Wallingford cafés as part of our Spring 2012 menu. After trying out a new menu, we sometimes find ourselves making tweaks and alterations. In the spirit of making things even better, we decided to transform the Moroccan Eggplant Relish & Feta into something a little different.

Introducing The Mezze Platter, which includes our house-made baba ganoush, eggplant, extra virgin olive oil and bell peppers, hummus, a generous portion of feta, an assortment of olives, pickled red onions and cucumber slices paired with our popular Rosemary bread. Other Breads & Spreads combinations include Walnut bread with hummus, olive tapenade and cucumber and Olive bread with prosciutto, asparagus and chèvre drizzled with honey.

Visit our Madison and Wallingford cafés and try one of our new Essential Breads & Spreads and let us know what you think.
