EATING
Fremont's restaurant scene is a regularly shuffled pack of cards with a
few jokers thrown in. There have been some welcome new faces recently
and a few relocations. Locavore food is a big deal, wait staff are chatty
and informality rules.
Green Lake has an everybody-knows-each-other neighborhood feel to it,
and the cafes and restaurants consequently tend to be welcoming and
casual.

It's as simple as P-I-E. Bake fresh
pies daily on site, stuff them with homemade fillings (sweet and savory), and serve
them in a cool, bold-colored Fremont cafe. The pies are ideal for a snack lunch or you
can double up and get a sweet one for dessert too. Broccoli cheddar and peanut butter
cream go down a treat.

Proof that most Seattleites aren't posh (or pretentious) is the local legend
known as Paseo, a Cuban-style hole-in-the-wall located in a nondescript part of Fre-
mont which people alter their commute drive to visit. The fuss centers on the sand-
wiches, in particular the Midnight Cuban Press with pork, ham, cheese and banana pep-
pers, and the Cuban Roast (slow-roasted pork in marinade). Grab plenty of napkins.
