Café Glendi’s recipe for nearly 30 years in business
At Café Glendi, lunch comes with the smell of Mediterranean food, the hum of conversation and the chance of running into someone you know. The restaurant sits inside Eugene’s 5th Street Public Market Eateries, a well-trafficked food hall populated by independent businesses. For owner Borzi Marashi, it’s more than a place to serve food.
