Former PETA staffer and Seattle native Zibby Wilder submitted her favorite restaurant, Carmelita, to PETA Eats with this simple recommendation: “By far, one of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Creative, decadent taste combinations (both vegan and vegetarian) and a relaxed, earthy environment make Carmelita a winning choice for folks of all tastes.”
Philosophy
The menu at Carmelita changes with the seasons. Every dish is made from scratch using only the freshest ingredients. Organic produce, grains, herbs, and spices are used whenever possible. Independent farmers and foragers are heartily supported, and local and seasonal ingredients take precedence over maintaining a routine menu. Change is a way life at Carmelita, with daily specials and seasonal surprises delighting diners. Each season brings a feast to the table. From fall and winter’s sweet and golden squash to spring’s asparagus and artichokes to the local harvest of late summer with its bounty of heirloom tomatoes and sweet corn, everyone welcomes the changing seasons at Carmelita. Diners can enjoy fine imported and domestic wine and beer, selected to complement the savory vegetarian fare. All of this and more is served up in a comfortable, eclectic, and totally smoke-free environment.
Carmelita was just voted Best Vegetarian Food, Best Date Restaurant, and Best Waitstaff, and Chef Dan Braun placed second in the Best Chef Category of the Seattle Weekly “Best of Seattle Reader’s Poll 2001.” Congratulations!
