MariPili at Café Frieda

Frye Executive Director Jamilee Lacy and MariPili’s Chef Grayson Corrales have collaborated on an exciting new concept that will offer Frye patrons and Seattle diners an elevated and unique yet accessible culinary experience within the museum’s visually refreshed café space. The menu, including both gluten-free and vegan options, focuses on small plates and lunchtime staples such as sandwiches and salads, reimagined through MariPili’s distinctive flavor profile that celebrates Galician traditions and Pacific Northwest ingredients. In addition to a full espresso bar, the café will serve Estrella Galicia beer, Washington and Spanish wines by the glass, and pitchers of sangria. MariPili at Café Frieda honors a trio of matriarchs: Chef Corrales’ aunt for whom MariPili is named, her abuela who taught her to cook, and Frieda Sondland (1921-2016), a passionate supporter of the Frye Art Museum who visited every day for many years.
