Copacabana Restaurant (also known as Copacabana Café,[1][2][3] or simply Copacabana), is a restaurant at Seattle's Pike Place Market, in the U.S. state of Washington. The business has been described as "one of the oldest Latino restaurants in Seattle",[4] as well as "one of Pike Place's most offbeat eateries".[5]

Description

[edit | edit source]

Copacabana is located in the Triangle Building at Pike Place Market. The restaurant serves Bolivian cuisine[6] and has a patio lined with red chairs.[7] The menu has included paella, pescado a la Espanola, aji de cordero (lamb in spicy peanut sauce), shrimp soup and corn pie,[8] empanadas, pisco sours,[9] wine,[10] a Bolivian Andean beer called Paceña, and a guarana berry soda from the Amazon called Bawls.[11][12]

History

[edit | edit source]

The business opened in the Sanitary Market in 1964, before relocating to the Triangle Building (1910) in the late 1970s.[13] Copacabana was described as Seattle's only Bolivian restaurant in 1999.[14]

According to Fodor's, "Much of the strategy that preserved Pike Place Market in the 1960s was hatched at this small Bolivian café."[15]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

In Northwest Best Places (1985), David Brewster said "Copacabana is one of the Pike Place Market's best attractions".[16] In 1999, Sunset magazine said the restaurant's deck "gives patrons one of the best market views".[17]

In 2016, Naomi Tomky of Thrillist wrote, "A gem that’s been hiding in plain sight for 50 years, this Bolivian restaurant is a Market treasure that shouldn’t be overlooked."[9] In 2017, the Not for Tourists Guide to Seattle has recommended the deck for people-watching.[18]
