Executive Chef and Restaurateur Brian Clevenger’s newest restaurant – ELDR – has officially opened in Seattle’s Sunset Hill neighborhood. ELDR, meaning fire in Old Norse, draws inspiration from live-fire cooking, focusing on proteins and fire-grilled seasonal produce. The menu is a celebration of simplicity and quality, featuring dishes that showcase the best of local and sustainable ingredients. Starter highlights include Smoked Scallop Crudo, Grilled Rapini, Roasted sunchokes and Fennel pollen, and entrées span from Black Cod and Pork Sausage to shareables like Half Duck and 24 oz Steak for two. A special chef’s tasting menu is available for $86 for 4 courses.
The intimate space seats 36 and offers daily happy hour menus from 5-6pm and 9-10pm. True to the ethos of other General Harvest Restaurants, the new concept embraces sustainable, fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients while crafting unique flavor profiles.
“We’re excited to bring something new to Sunset Hill,” said Clevenger in a statement. “This restaurant is all about celebrating the essence of live-fire cooking, and we’re looking forward to showcasing the best proteins and produce in a fresh and exciting way.”
The restaurant features a bar program highlighting hand-crafted signature cocktails made from spirits from local distilleries and around the world, a selection of local and domestic beers and a substantial wine list that features several Italian, French, and Pacific Northwest winemakers.
Eldr is located at 6414 32nd Ave NW and open daily from 5-10pm. Take out and delivery options are available through Toast, Doordash, and UberEats.
