I just received the April email newsletter from Bellevue Towers, The LEED certified high rise condos in Bellevue. The newsletter announced the restaurants coming to the complex.

Purple Cafe and Wine Bar’sowners will open 3 different restaurants in the complex. The Bellevue Towers will be the home to the 4th Purple Cafe and Wine Bar, after Kirkland, Seattle, and Woodinville. Two other new concept restaurants will also open at the Towers, a coffee/dessert cafe, and a Latin/Mexican restaurant.

From the April Bellevue Towers email newsletter:
“One couple with three brilliant restaurant concepts that perfectly complemented the Bellevue Towers neighborhood. Larry and Tabitha Kurofsky, the Seattle husband and wife team behind the popular dining venue Purple Café and Wine Bar, plan to introduce three distinctive restaurant concepts to Bellevue and Bellevue Towers.The largest of the restaurants at Bellevue Towers will be a new Purple Café and Wine Bar, scheduled to open in November 2008.
Opening in early 2009, the second restaurant, Barrio, will be an upscale take on the traditional Mexican restaurant featuring a Latin-themed cocktail menu.
The yet-to-be-named third restaurant is another even newer concept that is still in the early stages of development. The Kurofskys envision a unique café and dessert lounge that will wake up with the neighborhood and continue to serve its needs throughout the evening. The café will offer fresh-baked goods, espresso and tea early in the morning; serve as a convenient lunch option throughout the afternoon; and transform into a dessert lounge serving sweet treats and cocktails into the evening.”
Downtown Bellevue will be destination dining spot for a wide variety of dining experiences over the next couple of years. These restaurants will join El Gaucho, Wild Ginger, and others in downtown Bellevue. The dynamics of downtown Bellevue will be completely different. It should prove to be fun and exciting. Another added benefit, with so much more available on the eastside, it ought to improve traffic heading into Seattle at night!
