Join this tour for a morning filled with education, food, and fun!

Chef’s Tour: Though many tourists are attracted to the famous Pike Place Market every year, local chefs also selectively choose their seasonal produce and proteins daily from the market. This tour gives you a taste of the vendors that supply the best chefs in town with their organic produce and sustainable seafood.

Chef’s Perspective: Tours are run by chefs who contribute a culinary perspective, telling the story of the Northwest through its food.

Local Taste: Partners are strategically chosen to ensure the best quality products of the Northwest are represented.

Small Groups: Group size is limited to 10 people and under to provide a more intimate, less touristy experience. This also creates a better dynamic to ask questions, absorb the information, and connecting with the other group members.

Purpose: More than just providing great tasting food, vendors serve as a talking point about farming, fishing, and produce in the Northwest and what they are doing to maintain higher quality control than the average. The team keeps the tours light-hearted but also brings some attention to the local food ecosystem and touches on awareness in certain industries.

"What a great time with Chef Sylas!"
February 2024
Food tours are popping up all over the country. On a recent trip to Seattle, my wife and I crossed paths with a tour group right outside a restaurant we were checking out. I thought that Pike's Market would be a great place to take a food tour, so we booked Seattle Eats on our next trip.

The whole experience from booking, check-in and tour were top notch. We were lucky to have a great group of visitors on our tour, so there was a lot of laughter and joyful banter between the group and Chef Sylas. The tour guide, Chef Sylas is a seasoned chef from the area and his knowledge of the food scene is something you just can't put a price on. Imagine having your own personal living and breathing search engine walking next to you to answer any foodie questions! Best seafood in the area? New restaurants you recommend? Where can get truffle oil shipped home? The different chefs that give the tours choose their favorites stops so I'm sure your will get a different experience each time.

I'm looking forward to our next trip to the area and hopefully we will have more of our family members with us to experience such a treat.

Tip: Comfortable shoes are a must. We booked an 11:00 AM and we should have skipped breakfast. By the 4th stop, I was starting to get a little full, but pushed through to the end like a champ!

Tip: Bring comfortable shoes, and empty bellies. My partner has a big appetite and he was even full by the end of the tour. I had to limit myself to small bites towards the end because of the amount of food we ate… WHICH WAS GREAT!
