A Fresh New Look for Downtown Bellevue's City Center Plaza

December 17, 2025 - by Mackenzie Ault


City Center Plaza’s recent remodel puts a renewed focus on the interior experience, creating a warm, modern environment designed for everyday moments and memorable gatherings alike. Updated interior décor brings a fresh, polished feel to the space, making it an inviting destination whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, meeting colleagues, or settling in for the day.

The remodel also introduces two new dining concepts, both operated by El Gaucho, that bring fresh energy to the building. The Bar, a new café, serves classic favorites and seasonal offerings, including breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and sweet pastries, perfect for starting your day.

For lunch, ilo offers freshly made sandwiches that can be customized as a bowl or salad, along with delicious sides like the decadent El Gaucho Mac & Cheese. With El Gaucho Steakhouse also located in the building, City Center Plaza now offers a seamless dining experience from morning coffee to lunch meetings and an evening out.

Just outside, the outdoor plaza brings the beauty of the Pacific Northwest right to Downtown Bellevue. The refreshed plaza features lush landscaping, landscaped gardens, and inviting outdoor seating. Whether you’re looking for a place to gather, work outdoors, or simply enjoy a moment of calm, the new plaza offers a welcoming destination for every part of the day. Stop by City Center Plaza to experience the refreshed interiors, new dining options, and reimagined spaces for yourself.
