elcome to Café Paloma. Located in the heart of Seattle's Pioneer Square, Café Paloma offers lunches and light dinners with a Mediterranean authenticity. Meet a friend for Turkish coffee. Linger over a glass of fine wine. Survey the current exhibition of fine art photography. Order a latté and a prosciuto sandwich to go. Or, change your mind and enjoy the meze plate of humus, baba ghanouj, shepherd salad and pita bread. Discuss last night's concert with your inamorata as you sample the baklava. Everything seems possible in this haven from the ordinary as you begin a conversation with a total stranger.

Owner and Chef Sedat Uysal has a bountiful garden this summer. Perhaps your next appetizer should be a plate of mücver -- the traditional Turkish pancakes made from these blue ribbon zucchinis. Catering by Café Paloma is highly recommended when you want a unique and bountiful menu at your next event.

Every day there are people who pass by the Café without even one sidelong glance. After just one visit you will know exactly what they are missing.
