More and more local restaurants are offering fresh, local, organic food.
Urbane at Olive 8 in downtown Seattle is doing it right. Urbane is committed to sustainability and featuring local ingredients. They source a majority of their raw ingredients from within a 200-mile radius of their restaurant, reducing their carbon footprint.

| Summertime BLT with organic mixed greens salad. |
I had the opportunity to enjoy a nice lunch at Urbane this week. Their
menu offers a great mix of small plates, sandwiches and large plates. I ordered the Summertime BLT with a side salad. The sandwich comes well stacked with all fresh ingredients of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on whole wheat bread. The BLT was delicious! The bacon was crispy and it had just enough avocado to give the sandwich some good flavor. I really enjoyed the side salad also, fresh organic mixed greens, radish, Willamette Valley aged gouda and verjusnette.

As you can see, I really enjoyed the sandwich and salad.

| Apples and caramel dipping sauce. |
For dessert, I went with the very simple, but very tasty fresh apple slices with caramel dipping sauce.

| Oh, so good. |

The restaurant itself is nice, clean and minimal. Urbane is one of very few restaurants in Seattle with LEED Silver Certification. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council to provide a standard for environmentally sustainable construction and operating practices. This certification adds to Urbane's commitment of sustainability, not only with their farm-to-table food, but with their day-to-day operations. I'm impressed with their efforts, and I can only hope more Seattle area restaurants take on the same commitment.

Their salad is the best in the area without any competition. Had once back some tiime ago and I can't wait to come once more. Thanks for sharing the review.
These sandwiches look so tasty! I see that you liked it a lot. Do you know the receipt? I want to see the prices of Trustmypaper.com on its ingredients. Talking about dessert I don't understand why they serve only apples with caramel? I like fruits but I prefer to eat something more interesting when I eat in restaurant.
