Seattle: Vios Cafe in Capitol Hill

Vios Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat in Seattle and it is in the a great location in Capitol Hill. The style is Greek and everything we have had has been high quality, fresh and delicious. Look at the gorgeous Trio Sampler of Hommus, Tzatziki and Kopanisti (sheep’s milk feta cheese, roasted red pepper and red hot pepper) served with warm pita bread along with an order of marinated olives.

We met our friend, Shannon here and the three of us devoured these dips with glasses of wine and cold Pellegrino. 

My satisfying dinner was grilled chicken souvlaki with tzatziki, parsley, red onion and pita. I just love these flavors and it comes to the table this beautiful every time. Want to hear the best news? 

Vios Cafe accepts reservations through Open Table, my favorite app. Open Table allows me to make a plan with friends and know that we won't be standing around for an hour hoping to get into a great place. It's my own little concierge and I love it.

Seattle: Vios Cafe in Capitol Hill: The Clean Plate Club

Vios Cafe, in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle, is my kind of place - meals crafted with care and served in a casual atmosphere.  There are shared tables, kids romping in the play area and I promise you, this is a place where everyone cleans their plate!  We started with a Trio Dip Sampler (Babaganoush, Tzatziki and Hummus) served with warm pita bread and a Marinated Olive Mix. Our starters were so delicious I could have made that my meal, but...
I did order the Chicken Souvlaki (oregano and lemon marinated skewers with tzatziki, slow roasted tomatoes and pita) and you can see Dan's Moussaka (baked casserole layered with eggplant, spiced meat sauce and potato, topped with bechamel) in the background.  We both loved our dinners and can't wait to visit again.  To give you an idea, I am going to insist we order the exact same thing - dips to chicken. Yum!
