"Fremont’s Silence Heart Nest — the meat-free restaurant that devotees of Bangladeshi guru Sri Chinmoy opened 34 years ago — recently announced that it has closed permanently and that the space is for sale. No reason was given for the closure, although it joins an ever-growing list of restaurants that have closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Silence Heart Nest opened in the U District in 1986, then moved to Fremont in 2005, serving up popular vegetarian breakfast and brunch dishes, including sesame pancakes, tofu migas, and soy bacon BLTs. The welcoming spot maintained a spiritual vibe throughout its decades of operation in both locations, with sarong-clad servers, inspirational messages displayed on the tables, and soothing music filling the dining room. It’s also part of a chain around the world owned by Sri Chinmoy students, and bills itself as one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in Seattle." - Gabe Guarente
"Seattle’s about to say goodbye to a vegetarian dining legend. This weekend, Fremont’s Silence Heart Nest — the meat-free restaurant that devotees of Bangladeshi guru Sri Chinmoy opened 33 years ago — announced it would be closing permanently after service on Wednesday. The welcoming spot maintained a spiritual vibe throughout its decades of operation in both locations, with sarong-clad servers, inspirational messages displayed on the tables, and soothing music filling the dining room. It’s also part of a chain of restaurants around the world owned by Sri Chinmoy students." - Gabe Guarente
"The spirit of Sri Chinmoy has been guiding this airy Fremont breakfast-and-lunch diner since 1986. Delicious egg dishes dominate the menu, but vegans can also find satisfaction in sesame pancakes and tofu migas." - Matthew Lombardi
