We’re still thinking about these Oregon Albacore dishes from last month’s Alba Alba event in McMinnville. 

Alea Bakery at Mac Market served up three very different takes on our local catch:
🍅 Pan Con Tomate, with Albacore pastrami and fermented green garlic emulsion on country sourdough
🌿 Albacore Crudo, with aguachile, tomatillo shrub, serrano, Persian cucumber, and fig leaf
🍞 Tonnato Toast, sourdough crostini with Albacore Tataki, dulse seaweed, beet, purslane, potato, and goma

Feeling inspired? Take a cue from Alea and try recreating your own version at home. Oregon Albacore is incredibly versatile, whether you’re curing it for a pastrami-inspired preparation or keeping things fresh and bright with an aguachile. Oregon Albacore is in season now, so it’s a great time to experiment in your own kitchen.

Find out where to buy Oregon Albacore directly from fishermen and seafood markets around the state at oregonalbacore.org > Buy.

One year of Alea at Mac Market! ⁠
⁠
It’s hard to believe that an entire year has already passed. ⁠
⁠
As we reflect on everything that’s happened over the past twelve months, we’re reminded that Alea has always been about the people. ⁠
⁠
To everyone who believed in us from the very beginning, especially those who helped bring Alea to life through our crowdfunding campaign, thank you. Your support gave us the opportunity to build something we had dreamed about for years.⁠
⁠
To our regulars who have made us part of your weekly routine, to those who discovered us for the first time this year, to everyone who’s joined us for Cork Society dinners, Nights by Alea, Sunday brunch, or simply stopped in for a morning coffee and a warm loaf—thank you.⁠
⁠
Your conversations across the counter, your encouragement, your patience on busy mornings, and the kindness you’ve shared with us have shaped this first year in ways we could never have imagined.⁠
⁠
We’re incredibly grateful to be part of this community, and we’re even more excited for what lies ahead.⁠
⁠
As we celebrate this milestone, we’d love to hear from you. What’s your favorite meal, pastry, or memory you’ve shared with us over the past year? Leave it in the comments—we’d love to reminisce alongside you.⁠
⁠
Thank you for being here. We can’t wait to share another year around the table.⁠
⁠
With gratitude,⁠
⁠
Brendan & Haley

This month, we’re returning to one of our community’s longtime favorites with our interpretation of the traditional Japanese izakaya. Rooted in the idea of gathering over thoughtful food and drink, the menu brings together our appreciation for Japanese cuisine, culture, and technique with the seasonal ingredients that define our kitchen.

Expect charcoal-grilled skewers, crudos, house-made tofu, donburi, and other dishes designed to be shared.

Alongside the menu, we’ll be pouring a curated by-the-glass wine list developed with Day by Day, highlighting local producers, paired with thoughtfully crafted cocktails from their bar.

Reservations are encouraged, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate walk-ins.

Tuesday Evenings
5:00–8:15 PM

We look forward to welcoming you to the table.

Nights by @aleabakery.us was a fantastic way to spend a Tuesday evening. 

Everything Brendan and Haley do has so much heart and soul in it, and this was no exception. 

Nights by Alea will continue on select Tuesday evenings in the new flex corner of @macmkt with a specific menu & theme chosen that reflects the season and what’s coming in locally. Expect handmade pastas, pintxo’s, izakaya, and whatever else they dream up! Which is always phenomenal. *Make sure to follow them @aleabakery.us for updates on these menus and reservations! 

We tried the Mushroom Fritti, Orecchiette Primavera, the Ling Cod with fennel that comes with koji, asparagus & snap peas (so yummy!!) and the cavatelli pasta! Paired with refreshing (and cute) cocktails @daybyday.bar 

Everything together was honestly a lovely combination of flavor, texture and super delish! We’re really looking forward to the next one.

We are fortunate to have @visitmcminnville giving us endless support and always helping us small businesses be seen.
