There aren’t many Jewish or kosher restaurants and delis in Seattle, so the few kosher caterers, like Leah’s catering, in the Seattle area, have been sold out of their seder dinners for weeks. Nevertheless, there are a handful of restaurants still offering meals for Passover for preorder this year, with dishes including the traditional brisket, matzo ball soup, charoset, and chopped liver.
The Jewish holiday, which commemorates the Israelite exodus from ancient Egypt, starts in the evening on April 15 and runs through April 22 (or 23, depending on the calendar you use). Families generally get together at least the first night of the holiday for a ceremonial seder dinner; some gather on the first and second nights. Below are a few restaurants offering special meals surrounding the holiday.
Zylberschtein’s
Josh Grunig’s Pinehurst deli and bagel shop is offering Passover specials for preorder from April 15 to April 22, the span of the holiday. Orders require a two-day lead time.
Dishes include slow-cooked brisket, harissa roasted chicken, caraway carrots, roasted fingerling potatoes, matzo ball soup, chopped liver, and coconut chocolate macaroons. There’s a preset meal option as well as a la carte items. Preorders can be made on the website.
