Market Find of the Week - Cafe Yarmarka

So I haven't really been faithful to the whole notion of a once a week market find. But, nonetheless, I was in the market this week with a friend who was shopping for a catering gig, she loves buying fish from her fish boyfriend!

Anyhow, we were both hungry with a hankering for something different. We had both been to Cafe Yarmarka before but it had been a while.

Unlike its Russian, more polished cousin around the corner, Piroshki, Piroshki this place has a more homey feel. It just so happens that my mom used to make cabbage rolls growing up and I have fond memories of the warm, saucy, meaty rolls on a cold winter night. Since then I have grown up to be a vegetarian so I have forgone the notion of cabbage rolls. But, this place, now, this place speaks my language. Not only do they have amazing pierogies but they have vege cabbage rolls. Served with tomato sauce, steaming just like I remembered it, minus the meat of course.

They have recently changed their menu, now when you order a main dish you get a choice to get any and all sides that you desire, from sour cream to potato salad to beet salad to spicy carrots. What a deal.

It's worth a hunt around the Market to find, go to Post Alley and turn in at the Seattle's Best.

Couldn't find a website for them but here is their Yelp page:
