Description

An early-morning power breakfast in a hallowed downtown restaurant is power incarnate, with lox and capers. Or at least it was in the '80s. The 120-year-old Merchants Café is a hallowed downtown restaurant; the oldest in Seattle, in fact. But it's in Pioneer Square, the Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross of downtown business districts. Nevertheless, Merchants serves weekday breakfast beginning at 6 a.m.--along with late-night breakfast service until 4 a.m., with a different target audience in mind. Everything is really, really salty-in other words, perfect for George Wendt.
