"A year and a half after celebrated Seattle institution Majorie closed its doors, owner Donna Moodie is reopening her global bistro this week in Midtown Square at 24th and Union, in the heart of the Central District. The menu thinks globally but shops locally, taking cues from all genres of cuisine and especially local Pacific Northwest produce. Referring to Marjorie’s previous incarnations, Moodie says, “People would see a Caribbean dish on the menu and they’re like ‘You’re Jamaican,’ but it wasn’t really... It could be a blend of North African and Mediterranean, or I’ll serve French rosé with an olive tapenade.”" - Meg van Huygen
