Altura has moved across Broadway into the space formerly occupied by Carrello at 622 Broadway E in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. All employees from both restaurants kept their jobs through the transition.
Why it matters
The move gives the tasting menu restaurant a much larger footprint and extra dining room seats, changing how many guests it can serve on its six-day schedule. For Seattle diners, it signals a continued shift in the city's high-end dining scene as established restaurants reconfigure their spaces.
The new space measures 7,500 square feet, up from 1,500 square feet, with five added dining room seats and a $195 per person tasting menu. A $95 per person feast for the table option is also offered, though the source does not say whether these prices will change after the move.
The players
Altura
Altura is a Seattle tasting menu restaurant on Broadway in Capitol Hill that has operated since 2011 and serves six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday.
Jerry Traunfeld
Jerry Traunfeld is a Seattle chef who operated the restaurant Poppy in the space for 11 years before it became part of the Altura expansion.
The details
Carrello's wooden service carts were kept and will roll tableside to deliver cheese, caviar, and dessert courses. The lounge and garden patio serve Carrello's à la carte format, including antipasti, handmade pasta, plated entrées, and desserts.
Timeline
October 2011: Altura opened on the west side of Broadway.
Fall 2026: Altura completed its move across the street.
Christmas Eve: Altura hosts its Feast of Seven Fishes.
New Year's Eve: Altura hosts diners for the holiday.
Market Landscape
The move follows Poppy's 11-year run in the space under chef Jerry Traunfeld, showing how successive upscale restaurants have occupied the same Capitol Hill Broadway addresses. Altura's expansion into the larger Carrello space adds to that concentration of Seattle fine dining on the corridor.
Diners can book the expanded Altura space for the $195 tasting menu or the $95 feast for the table option, with à la carte antipasti, pasta, and entrées priced between $20 and $35. The lounge and garden patio offer the à la carte menu for those not committing to the full tasting.
The takeaway
The move shows that a well-established tasting menu can expand its footprint without changing staff, and diners can use the à la carte lounge and patio as a lower-commitment way to experience the restaurant.
What happens next
Altura hosts its Feast of Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve and diners on New Year's Eve, both of which fall on dates scheduled after the move.
