What to eat in and around Seattle today: Amy’s Merkato
More than just a restaurant, Amy’s Merkato opened in 1992 and became Seattle’s premier Ethiopian market.
Before returning to Ethiopia in 2000, Amy sold her shop to Judy and Filli, two Eritrean and Ethiopians who’ve transformed Merkato into a go-to spot for Ethiopian and Eritrean food.
Merkato in Hillman City is customer-focused and serves up vegan, vegetarian, and meat-filled dishes.
