Bastille is excited to announce the 2014 dates for their popular rooftop dinners. There will be eight Monday evening dinners this summer between June and September, each starting with a rooftop garden tour and winding through a multi-course, shared seasonal meal with wine pairings.
Dinner is held under a cabana with curtains that can be left open or closed, as weather dictates. The family-style meals will showcase the rooftop produce as well as other seasonal items, and chef Jason Stoneburner and/or chef de cuisine, Cody Farrell, will be on hand to talk about each dish. Sommelier, Kristen Young, will also be on hand to talk about the wines she selected to accompany the food.
Here is a menu from last summer:
Curry Plant Riata
tomatoes, cucumber, green beans, radish
2011 Hiedler Riesling ‘Urgenstein’, Kamptal, Austria
parmesan panna cotta, delicata squash, quince vinaigrette
2011 Domaine Huet Vouvray ‘Le Mont’, Loire Valley, France
chicken consommé, zucchini, chives
2010 Domaine de Marquiliani Rose de Sciaccarellu, Corsica, France
Duck Confit
honey & bay leaf poached plums, arugula, peppercress

The beautiful views of the faraway Olympic Mountains and the much closer historic buildings of Ballard make for a wonderful backdrop for the communal dinners. The cabana is on the west side of the roof, overlooking the canal. Dinners are limited to 12 guests and cost is $115/person, which includes a rooftop garden tour, food, wine, and 20% gratuity. Groups and/or individuals are welcome.

Opened in June of 2009 and housed in an historic 1920’s building in Seattle’s Old Ballard neighborhood, Bastille Café & Bar is a bustling homage to a Parisian brasserie. Owners Deming Maclise and James Weimann scoured Paris flea markets and local salvage stores for vintage accessories to create a truly authentic feel. From the white subway tiles, antique mirrors, and Paris Metro clock to the zinc-topped bar and stunning crystal chandelier that takes center stage in the Back Bar; they’ve truly hit the mark. Chef Jason Stoneburner creates French focused cuisine inspired by the abundance of seasonal product found locally—and it doesn’t get any more local than the restaurants 4500-square-foot organic rooftop garden. The wine list is French focused with a smattering of NW wines and the bar offers an extensive collection of absinthe. Bastille is open 4:30pm to 12am Sunday through Wednesday and until 2am Thursday through Saturday. Dinner is served from 5:30pm to 10pm Sunday thru Thursday and until 11pm on Fridayand Saturday.
