Portage Bay has two existing locations- one on Roosevelt Way, the other in the South Lake Union neighborhood. Being a fan of their spectacular breakfasts (namely their porridge and breakfast bar) I frequent both. I do favor Roosevelt since its within walking/biking distance for me on the Burke Gilman Trail but the menu is the same across the board. Good news is Portage Bay Cafe opens this week in Ballard…lucky bastards. Supposedly the new spot is set to be a bit smaller and have more of a “cafe concept” than the other two which sounds real cozy-like. The folks at Portage Bay do food right- ethical, organic, local, sustainable and just fucking delicious. That being said, Im absolutely confident that the new place will be fantastic. I did a whole write up on the restaurant a little while back so for more on my take on it, please refer to my past posting. Anyway, go there…they open on Tuesday (July 7th) just West of downtown Ballard- 2821 NW Market Street, to be exact. Eat at Portage Bay Cafe and support an ethically sound restaurant- solid in its commitment to provide truly good (in more ways than one) food.
