Behind the scenes of Bastille

The finishing touches are being put on Ballard’s newest French restaurant.

In between the stacks and stacks of black wooden chairs being loaded into the restaurant, owner Deming Maclise tells us that Bastille is on track for their June 29th opening in Old Ballard. Seattle Magazine’s Lorna Yee recently took a tour with chef Shannon Galusha and writes about it in her sneak peek piece. “Much of what you’ll find at Bastille is handmade,” Yee says. “The tables (including an 18-seat communal one), enormous carved mirror frames, and bar tables are all made from alowooe wood.” More details in our post last month.
