I just wanted to give a shout out to a newish restaurant up here on Seattle's Cap Hill. Kanape is a cute lil' cafe located on the north tip of Broadway situated next to one of the many tanning salons (who the hell is going to Desert Thunder or whatever it's called, nobody is tan in Seattle?) on the hill. Anyways, a friend and I had lunch at Kanape yesterday and we were greeted by an adorable Latvian girl (the owner perhaps) who warned us that putting our purses on the ground was very bad luck. She brought me a chair for my bag which I thought was very sweet (I myself am a very superstitious person so I can relate). The menu is small but we were told that more substantial menu items (heartier fare like stroganoff and such) were coming very soon. Not that the items on the menu right now aren't worth going for. Kanape serves delicious Austrian kanapes (little open-faced sandwiches) and French Crepes. There is also a nice variety of Eastern European salads and sweets. For lunch I had a chicken liver pate kanape with slivered gherkin and pickled red onion on a slice of toasted baguette and a egg salad and lox kanape with capers and lemon on rye. I also had a Russian Stolichnaya salad which consisted of veal bologna, pickle, egg, peas, organic carrot, onion, and potato and mayo. Everything was light and tasty. The chicken liver was smooth and creamy (I hate when I get grainy liver pate, ick) and it went perfectly with the brininess of the pickle and onion. Very Tasty. Who doesn't like cured salmon and egg salad? Suckers, that's who. So good. I love Russian salad. Like a creamy potato salad but with other yummy vegetables and the chunks of veal bologna made it. So good. The kanapes are small but inexpensive. They are around $2-3 dollars a piece. Order a few and a salad to make a nice lunch. They have an amazing happy hour on weekdays from 4-6pm where kanapes are only $1 and drinks around $3. I will definitely be back. When you go, just make sure you keep your bag off the ground.
