Purple Cafe and Wine Bar
Wine-focused American restaurant with a dramatic central wine tower, an Eastside Heavy Restaurant Group fixture.
Purple Cafe and Wine Bar is the Bellevue location of the Heavy Restaurant Group's wine-centric concept, known for a soaring, multi-story central wine tower with a spiral staircase. The downtown Bellevue restaurant brought an urban, wine-driven dining experience to the Eastside.
The menu pairs a broad, by-the-glass wine list with seasonal American fare, cheese and charcuterie boards, salads, pasta and entrees. The lively bar and wine focus make it a popular gathering and happy-hour spot.
Its location near Bellevue Square and Old Bellevue places it within easy reach of downtown shopping and offices.
