SEATTLE FOOD TOURS
What is the best food tour for you?
Seattle Food Tours
Eat Seattle Tours runs five chef-guided Seattle food tours across Pike Place Market, Seattle Center, and South Lake Union. Every tour is led by a working Seattle chef. Not a guide reading a script, but someone who shops these stalls and knows the owners by name. Groups stay small, tastings are diverse, and we run year-round, rain included. Our tours have been featured in Forbes and Food & Wine.
Compare all five below, or skip ahead to which one fits you.
Chef-Guided Pike Place Market Food Tour
$62.99 plus tax · 2 hours · 9 tastings · Pike Place Market
Our flagship tour, and the one most first-time visitors should book. Two hours through Pike Place Market with a chef, nine tastings drawn from a roster of sixteen Market partners, and the stories behind owner-operated businesses in a market that’s been running since 1907. Past routes have included Pike Place Chowder, Beecher’s, Chukar Cherries, indi chocolate, Hellenika Cultured Creamery, and Maíz.
Meets outside Simply Seattle at 1600 First Ave. Operates seven days a week, year-round. Guests leave with a 10% discount card good at all our Market partners.
Eat Seattle is licensed by the Pike Place Market PDA to operate tours in the Pike Place Historical District. Not every company operating here is.
Pike Place Coffee Crawl & VIP Morning Market Tour
$67.99 plus tax · 2 hours· 6 Tastings · Pike Place Market
The Market before the crowds arrive. A morning walk through Pike Place built around coffee — where Seattle’s obsession started, how the roasters here actually differ, and what the vendors are doing while most visitors are still asleep. Operates Thursday-Sunday. Meets at Anchorhead on Western Ave.
Street Food Tour of South Lake Union
$65.99 plus tax · 2 Hours · 6 Tastings · South Lake Union
Seattle’s newest food neighborhood, eaten the way the people who work there eat it. South Lake Union went from warehouses to the center of the city’s tech economy in under two decades, and the food followed — fast, international, and genuinely good. Operating Friday and Saturday at 1 PM. Meets at Molino on 6th Ave.
Noshes at the Space Needle: Seattle Center Food Tour
$65.99 plus tax · 2 Hours· 5 Tastings · Seattle Center
Seattle Center is where most visitors go and where most visitors eat badly. This tour fixes that — a chef-guided route through the food worth stopping for around the Space Needle and the Center grounds. Friday-Sunday at Noon.
Seattle Happy Hour Tour: Cocktails, Bubbles & Bites
$115 plus tax · 2 Hours · 5 Tastings · South Lake Union
An evening tour built around drinking well and eating alongside it. Cocktails, sparkling wine, and food designed to go with both, led by a chef who can tell you why the pairing works. Operates Friday and Saturday at 5 pm. Meets at King Leroy. 21+ IDs required.
Which Seattle Food Tour Is Right for You
First time in Seattle? Book the Pike Place Market tour. It’s the city’s landmark, it’s the tour we’re known for, and nine tastings across the Market is the fastest way to understand how Seattle eats.
Been to the Market already? Take the South Lake Union street food tour. Different neighborhood, different food culture, almost no overlap with the Pike Place route.
Early riser, or serious about coffee? The Coffee Crawl gets you into the Market before the crowds, which is a different place entirely from the one most people experience.
Looking for an evening, or a date? The Happy Hour Tour. Cocktails and bubbles, and the only tour on this list that isn’t a daytime activity.
Already headed to the Space Needle? Noshes at the Space Needle folds good food into a stop you were making anyway.
