Nestled in the shops of Chophouse Row, Marmite serves up lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner using classic French cooking techniques and the finest ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. A chef on the Seattle scene for over 40 years, owner Bruce Naftaly knows his way around the kitchen and can often be seen wandering around the room at dinnertime to chat with guests.
