Forever a favorite — and for good reason! Our Tomato Sampler features a bouquet of brightly sweet tomatoes from Sunrise Organic Farm that have been drizzled with our house-made basil oil and Lustau sherry vinegar, which has been aged for 30 years. We then finish this dish with a pinch of flaked Maldon sea salt, which lends a fresh intensity and balance to this simple dish.

We’ve had a busy week working on the new home for Sybaris Bistro — Opening sometime in 2023 — but we are in love with the original ceilings! The amount of detail and warmth that exudes from the original historic coffered ceilings is incredible!
We’re still creating magic in our kitchen on 1st Ave — be sure to join us this month for one of our most popular menus of the year!
We wanted to share a few photos from the International Pinot Noir Celebration last Friday where Chef Matt Bennett was a featured guest Chef!
Chef Matt Bennett created this Chicken Terrine with Roasted Corn, Peppers, and BBQ spices. The Ukrainian Carrot Salad added some bright flavor to this scrumptious terrine. This dish was served during the events Grand Dinner.
This was such an incredible opportunity and experience — we hope to be invited back in the future.

It all started with a cozy night on the couch watching Taco Chronicles on Netflix — Season 1, Episode 2, to be exact.
Matt and Janel were relaxing on the couch learning about Michoacán, Mexico — the world’s carnitas capital, the origins of carnitas, and the artistry behind creating the copper pots used to traditionally prepare carnitas.
After watching that episode, Janel had two fun thoughts: What if we could cook carnitas at Sybaris Bistro like this? What if these pots could be a surprise for Matt?
So, she went online and began learning more about Antonio Parra's workshop in the magical town of Santa Clara del Cobre. The artistry and skill behind transforming raw copper material into a finished piece takes several weeks of daily work, repeatedly heating and hammering the copper, slowly thinning it and transforming it into the desired shape.
Not finding a website to order from, she reached out to Antonio on Instagram. With the help of Google Translate and some wired money — these beautiful pieces began to come to fruition.
After several weeks of waiting, they have arrived! Matt was delighted and surprised — and even more so at how quickly and evenly his new copper pot cooked the carnitas used in the Tortilla Salad with carnitas, cactus, radishes, greens, and a chipotle-avocado dressing that was served this month.

There isn’t a better way to end your week than with our Strawberry Turkish Delight — Featuring house-made pistachio baklava, whipped blond chocolate ganache, and orange blossom-strawberry halva cream. Oh, and some sprinkles — because this dessert is extra. 💁♀️
We can’t even begin to describe how honored we feel to be selected as a featured guest chef for the International Pinot Noir Celebration! Chef Matt will be crafting unforgettable dishes during the Grand Dinner portion of this event utilizing a treasure trove of locally sourced and sustainable ingredients from farmers here in the Northwest.🍷

A throwback from his early years in the kitchen, our special tonight features Wild Chinook Salmon, Spinach, and Maine Lobster Mousse inside our warm and flaky house-made Puff Pastry. Accompanied by Tomato Béarnaise, Green Beans, and Sweet Potato Purée with Cointreau — this is one special you’ll never forget.
You know what they say — Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. 🍌
This weekend, Matt is celebrating 𝟑𝟓 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 (!!!) of doing what he loves — from his early days on the line at Michigan Bean Co., to wearing a dozen or so hats here at Sybaris Bistro.
Inspired by his early days as a young chef at Michigan Bean Co, Chef Bennett has crafted a special dish for you to enjoy tonight (7/15) and tomorrow (7/16) in celebration of this milestone.

Is there anything more refreshing than a thick slice of Coconut Tres Leches? We think not.
This cake has the right amount of sweetness and is absolutely the perfect dessert to dive into on a hot day.
