About

Debuting back in 2018, this Seattle eatery was named by Seattle Mag as the “Best New Restaurant” Winner in 2019. This year, keeping things fresh, it appeared on Eater’s List of “Best Restaurants on Capitol Hill.” Chef William Belickis, who earned his stripes working under world-famous haute cuisine master David Bouley in Manhattan, arrived in the Northwest in 1997 where he enjoyed great success with his own restaurant, Mistral, and then Mistral Kitchen. Now, with Violet, he is delighting diners with fare that shows Spanish, French, and Italian influences in such dishes as grilled octopus with braised fennel and preserved lemon aioli, local steelhead with brown butter cauliflower and miso, pork belly with roasted carrots, squash puree, and raspberry gastrique, and grilled lamb loin with artichokes and Swiss chard. “Approachable and artistic,” is how Seattle Times describes Violet’s offerings, while Eater calls Violet “a gem.”
