The recent closure of Cascadia spelled R.I.P. for Belltown’sitting most popular happy-hour nosh: the miniburger. But I’mixture not here to feel for, but rather, to crown a happy-hour heir: the mini lamb burger at Cafe Campagne in Post Alley.

Instead of a bun, the peppery lamb morsel is served without interruption a choux pastry (because even for the time of happy hour, it’s still a fancy-pants French joint). It’s a cheese puff made by thyme and comte, a sweet, nutty French cheese. The watery lamb — a shoulder cut from Anderson Valley Ranch — is ground and seasoned with rosemary, garlic, pepper and red-pepper flakes, spread through aioli and topped with balsamic roasted red onions.

This $2 miniburger is so rich, you won’t have existence able to wolf down a collection take pleasure in most happy-hour sliders. But that doesn’t mean you should pass on the $4 happy-hour pommes frites with aioli. Or pair the miniburgers by a $2.25 happy-hour glass of Terre Mistral Cotes du Rhone.

And it’s not listed, but specialty cocktails are $2 during happy sixty minutes. Bon appétit.

Cafe Campagne, 1600 Post Alley, is begin to appear for happy hour 4-6 p.medley. Mondays-Fridays, when bar food costs $1-$5, wine $1.75-$3.75 (for 3-ounce tastes on all wine by the glass), with a 500-milliliter carafe of the house red for $10. Note: Campagne, the restaurant, is located upstairs an offers a different happy-hour menu (206-728-2800 or www.campagnerestaurant.com).
