There are two “entrances” to the Purple Café and Wine Bar’s restaurant in Kirkland, and entering through one of them will make you look and feel like an idiot (in my defense, from the outside it did not remotely resemble an emergency exit). But once you’ve dramatically entered, you’re either a wine connoisseur in heaven or you’re taken aback by all the bottles of wine on the wall, clueless and unable to differentiate between any of the wines. Good thing there’s a wine glossary provided with the menu to help you feel less of an idiot. Menus vary between locations (Seattle, Kirkland and Woodinville) and food is rich and filling with fresh Northwest ingredients, but definitely not cheap. You would think they could afford to at least warm the bread. Head to their Seattle location for the tasting bar starting at $3 (at 3 pm) or for the wine/cheese pairings instead.
