Dining

Food is the foundation of our work. It’s the tool we use to transform lives, disrupt poverty and nourish communities. Our restaurant and cafés have long been central to this work.

Dining Options

Our flagship restaurant is currently closed for remodeling but will reopen in June with new offerings including Guest Chef Night events. In the meantime, book your next private event, place a box lunch order, and visit the FareStart Cafés in South Lake Union and Beacon Hill.

Feeding our mission

FareStart’s dining venues serve as classrooms for our students and help support our mission. We run these social enterprise businesses to train people on the job for future careers in food-related industries. Your support and patronage have a direct impact on our ability to fund these job training programs. Learn more here.

Guest Chef Night

Our Guest Chef Nights pair premier local chefs with FareStart students to create a three-course meal served by volunteer community members. Stay tuned for future Guest Chef Nights through our website, social media or our email campaigns.

Gift Cards

FareStart Gift Cards make great gifts. With a simple purchase, you treat someone to a wonderful meal or coffee while supporting our students in transforming their lives. Buy a gift card online or stop by the FareStart Restaurant or the FareStart Café on Beacon Hill during hours of operation.
