Overview

Eat Seattle Tours chef guides lead this two-hour walking tour of Pike Place Market with nine tastings from sixteen partner vendors. Your guide is a working Seattle chef who shops here and knows the people behind the counters. Most routes include Beecher's "World's Best" Mac and Cheese. We're the only food tour Beecher's partners with. Other stops include Pike Place Chowder, artisan chocolate, and tacos at Maíz. Skip the lines, learn how chefs pick produce and judge fish, and hear the stories behind the small businesses that make the Market work. *Tour stops may adjust depending on time of year and guide. This is a fast-paced walking tour with distance, small hills, stairs, and cobblestones — a market tour rather than a seated restaurant tour. Moderate physical fitness required.
