Pike Place Market is a landmark of #Seattle, and one of the oldest continuously functioning markets in the United States. I had been there once before when I was a kid, but this time I was on a mission to go on the ultimate Pike Place Market food tour!
In this video you’ll find some of the best food within the market and all the details about what to order and eat when you’re in Seattle, Washington. One tip - go early to start eating before the main huge rush comes - when it gets to mid-day, the market is packed.
Here are all the restaurants we tried at #PikePlaceMarket:
Lowell's Restaurant - For breakfast we went to the legendary Lowell's Restaurant, serving a mix of classic American food including seafood. I wanted to try their dungeness crab eggs benedict, which was a little expensive, but pretty good.
Dungeness crab eggs benedict - $25
Pure Food Fish Market - Next to Lowell’s don’t miss the smoked salmon. Again, it’s not cheap, but it’s so good, salmon glistening and embedded with smoke.
½ Pound salmon - $16.56
Ghost Alley Espresso - Next on this Pike Place Market food tour I was in desperate need of a coffee to begin the morning so we navigated our way past the gnarly gum alley to Ghost Alley Espresso. Great place for a quick cup of espresso.
Doppio espresso - $3
Piroshky Piroshky - A legendary bakery that serves mostly Russian influenced baked goods, both sweet and savory, is Piroshky Piroshky. Again, I tried to keep it pretty classic, and Seattle style, so Jason and I split the salmon pate piroshky. It was very tasty, with a cream cheesy taste.
Salmon - $6.85
Pike Place Chowder - Having won every chowder competition and award in the US as possible, Pike Place Chowder serves America’s #1 Chowder. So you know you can’t miss it when you go to Pike Place Market. We got in line about 20 minutes before they opened and line didn’t take long. You order, get your chowder, and then sit down. I don’t have too much experience with chowder, but indeed it was good, and I also really liked the seafood bisque.
Total price - $37.76 total
Beecher's Handmade Cheese - Another classic is Beecher's Handmade Cheese where you can sample cheese curds and also order grilled cheese sandwiches.
Flagship sandwich - $7.49
Ellenos Real Greek Yogurt - They also have a very loyal following and for sure it’s some of the best yogurt I’ve ever tried.
Market Grill - Finally to end this Seattle food tour we stopped at Market Grill, right in the heart of the market and I ordered the grilled salmon plate. Overall, it was good, and a perfect ending to this extreme food tour!
Grilled salmon plate - $15
Thank you for watching!

Yeah interesting market/place. We don't have that type of market in Australia.

[@kimsmith4634]

Your food channel is honestly the best food channel I've seen. So enthusiastic about everything. And I love how you always travel with your wife and son. What an amazing lifestyle you have.

[@jenniferyoung8665]

Ying is so awesome! I know it's not easy traveling with a child yet always supportive of Mark allowing him to do his thing! She's such a back bone and a great mom and a loving wife!

[@smexyphysics]

Mark I'm so happy you enjoyed your time at our beautiful market and you had some nice weather. For everyone talking about the prices, Pikes Place is a huge tourist destination, us locals visit as well but there are much better places to try out our local foods at a fraction of the costs. There are places where you can get fresh fish and chowder right off the docks where the fishermen eat. I'm assuming Mark went here for more of his audience benefit. He probably would have been much happier in the other places and enjoyed it just as much. But if your looking for fresh and cheap steer clear of the tourist trap areas.

[@SilvaDreams]

Definitely, the moment he said Pikes Place I cringed a bit. Sure there are some nice places there but it is so over priced and there are much better places.

[@smexyphysics]

SilvaDreams agreed. Sometimes we even jaunt down to coast for the day to Depot Bay. They at least use locally sourced clams unlike the place Mark went to. I am sure if the tourists knew they flew their clams over from the East Coast they may not be as keen to eat it as it isn't really locally sourced, which is what they think they are paying for. Go to Oregon for good chowder, the places there are HUGE about using only local ingredients. Gracie's Sea Hag has some amazing chowder and it isn't 15.00 a bowl and you will get the stuff that is coming off the boats right across the street at the harbor.

[@renatalovinglife6734]

@@smexyphysics Thank you!! My family and I are visiting Settle in a few weeks! Do you have any suggestions on a restaurant? for a family of four! Something the kid's can enjoy and us as well!

[@smexyphysics]

Renata loving life Oh gosh there are soo many cool and cheap of free things to do with kids in the Seattle area. If you like boats Lake Union has free boat rides on Sunday's, the Marine Science Center is really cool and that is free as well. You should go to the waterfront and hang out, lots of cool shops and things to do. I suggest you eat down there as well, Elliott's Osyter house is amazingly good, so is Ivar's acres of clams. Elliott's is more on the pricey side though. Ivar's is great for fish and chips and chowder. Not too many know about it but there is a chap and awesome Hawaiian place called marination, its over off 6th ave. just west of Harbor island. But f you want to travel outside of Seattle and take a jaunt down to P Town (Portland) you can catch a Saturday market, those are great outdoor food and fun. 25$ gets you all day parking near the Rose District which is the waterfront and China town is a few blocks over. best thing about P town is once you park everything is within walking distance and there are trolly's that go through town. Stop at Voodoo doughnuts, but do it early they run out fast. Best one to get there is called the "Old dirty bastard" lol

[@Kristen21Zum]

My thought is that if he did not go here he would of heard it from a lot of people but instead everyone is up in arms over the price.

[@garyhallgren]

I was a tyke, then a teen, then a young man...before the Pike Market was refurbished and upmarketed. It was decidedly low-rent then, second-hand clothes, great record bins, the Liberty Malt Co. where mysterious home brew supplies were sold. The lower levels were a labyrinth, so much fun to roam. Upstairs were the produce stands, flowers,the fish market, the eateries, some which still remain. It was not a tourist trap back then. Fun to see Mark here, I saw him eating in Istanbul.

[@marydillard9909]

Nobody else can match Mark's enthusiasm for food.

[@teneilfedy8479]

I like it when Mark creates new vocabulary becos of the food: juiciness, fatiness, guigoodness, now tomatoiness.... Lol

[@crystalwynn3910]

Mark, your camera holding arm must be super strong! I lived in Seattle for 30 years and your series has been delightful to watch. You ate your fair share of rich foods that day! My favorite piroshky is the minced beef and onions. The gyro Greek stall there is delish also. I’m going home for Thanksgiving and def visiting the market.

[@happymv5350]

Pike Place is legendary for not only providing the utmost of fresh fish but also for their highly recognized approach to business marketing. I had the fortunate experience of meeting with someone who was apart of a study of their practices. Her book was published but not as recognized as the text used in the more popular business books used in main stream today. Great lessons to be had on this video!

[@Explore-Your-City]

Pike Place Market is definitely a go-to place when visiting Seattle. We have something similar in Vancouver called Granville Island. Love all your videos Mark Wiens!

[@kathleenmarshall2199]

NYC gets more rain per year than we do in Seattle. Ours is just "misty-er" with lingering HIGH-ALTITUDE grey clouds. It can be misty in Seattle but you can still see that "The Mountain (Mt. Rainier) is out." As for prices, $34/pound for fresh Alderwood-smoked salmon is reasonable. My brother lives in NYC and is shocked at our food prices. That's why he always brings a frozen roast beast in his carry-on when flying to Seattle, and has his carry-on packed with crab/salmon/smoked fish when he flies back.

[@nctarcop]

That was an excellent food tour/review. We're headed there in a few months for the first time and now my plan is to try every one of those featured places.

Pike place market clam chowder is DELICIOUS 😋

[@MichaelEugeneShaner]

Awww Mark, I'm so bummed you walked by (at least twice) Mee Sum Pastry in the Pike Place Market. They have been there for many, many decades (at least 30 years since I used to live/frequent), and they have the best BBQ Pork Hom Bows. Too, there's a great spot for gyros a few yards away, too. You have to go back, seriously! It's worth the trip, I promise!

[@xaaxathus]

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE FORGOT THE HOM BOW

[@sandranokes7443]

Mark, Pike Place is a lot of fun to see. The seafood is legendary. It all looked so good. That clam chowder looked like a work of art! Yes it's pricey there, but the fact is, these people pay a lot of money for their leases and rents, then their electric bills, then their employees, and that's all before buying the products that they make and sell there. Going to Pike Place is a destination, just like Disneyland. I think Lowel's restaurant you ate at is where they made the movie Sleepless In Seattle. They have a couple of stools at the bar counter that tell you Tom Hanks sat there. The original Starbucks is always packed. What you showed here was only the top part. There are 2 or 3 floors of shops below what you see here. There are people who have been here for years and years and years. That's where the history comes in. I'm surprised you didn't see all the flower vendors. Beautiful bouquets of flowers. It is really fun going there. And $25.00 for CRAB Benedict was about average price from all the other restaurants I've been to, who sell crab Bennie. I would imagine the regular Bennie was a lot less pricey. For all these people who have commented, if you want lots of crab and pay around $25.00, go to the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn Washington. Every Friday and Saturday night, their buffet is full of at least 3 kinds of crab, sometimes lobster tails, shrimp, salmon, smoked salmon, a full meat counter with brisket, prime rib, Indian tacos. And a full veggie and salad bar. Plus a desert bar. All you can eat of it, for $25.00.

[@missybaker1608]

Well Mark you all loved that tour. Seattle a great seafood city. Love SALMON. Salmon Benedict looked awesome. Pike Market just has everything. The grilled cheese w/tomato and basil. The classic chowder bread bowl looked awesome!!! The salmon meal was my favorite smoked salmon over rice with salad and the bread. It's so big. But all the whole fish they had that you could take home freeze it of course have one out to grill, fry, or bake oh my.

[@Igmarie]

Welcome to Seattle Mark! Great tour of the Market. Of course prices are higher there... a bunch of those spots are tourist stops. We are a pricy town generally speaking, but you can easily find amazing deals even in the market.

[@nunosoares2329]

Mark. Another mouthwatering episode. Although it started quite expensive with the Eggs Benedict. Even with the lobster I didn't think it was going to be so expensive but the rest of the dishes in the video were more reasonable especially the espressos. Seattle is a cool city. Even cooler was the gum wall. Quite smart.

[@bklynboho8910]

[@benforwho]

What's also historically amazing is that pbs's own chef Jeff Smith lived next to this market. His show was broadcast years before the internet's existence, where he'd periodically broadcast walking through here. Sadly he died amidst allegations of sexual misconduct (sound familiar) proven untrue. He was an early 'foodie' before Anthony Bourdain...

Love seeing the PNW in your videos! I live about 2 1/2 hours South of Seattle.

Honestly, I've eaten heartier and tastier chowder in the North East USA. Very Touristy area, much better to visit during the week, many meals $7 to $15 per person which is very reasonable.

[@chuck4262]

@@KeshetAylonit What?!?

[@KeshetAylonit]

Chuck F Washington State isn’t Deep Blue. It’s not even kind of blue. Or a little. The blue all comes from one county (plus an island county or two). The rest of the state is deep, deep red. Washington is a hotbed of white nationalism and Neo-Nazi’s. Our capital city population is basically half extreme liberal and half extreme far right. (Swasti*a Flags fly in Olympia). And even if folks are not WN or NN, they are deeply conservative or republican, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. The only reason WA shows up blue every year is because of King County (which includes Seattle). Parts of Pierce (where Tacoma is) have some liberal spots, but for the most part it’s just King County. (And Vashon).

kaox44 - been eating at Lowell's for a couple of decades. Most breakfast plates (pancakes, eggs, french toast, etc) are $10 or less. They are large servings and usually more than I can eat. But you're right about the other places. They might be good, but I live here and wouldn't be caught dead paying that much for clam chowder or smoked salmon. They're tourist joints and overpriced.

The only place in this video I'd tell you to try is the yogurt place. It's really good, and they have different flavors to cater to your taste. Here's a tip though: get the yogurt in small size, or if you're feeling like you still have lots of room in your stomach, get a medium. Don't get a Large. It can be pretty overwhelming. Also, you guys have to keep in mind that Seattle pays REALLY well AND Mark filmed this video in Pike Place Market a.k.a the most touristy thing you can do here in Seattle (besides going to the Space Needle LOL). Everything in Downtown Seattle is expensive, and we can do nothing but to accept it. However, if you drive all the way to King Station (which is like, a 5-10 min. drive), you'll find really, really cheap and delicious food in Chinatown. Or, you can just drive up to University District (where UW is located) and try a bunch of restaurants there. They have a bunch of great restaurants, too! OR, drive further North. There, you will find even MORE great food.

Hey Mark. It was so awesome seeing you hang out in my home town. Honestly, having lived there for more than half my life (in SF now), never got to eat eat at the places you visited. Gives me some ideas next time my family and I visit my mom and friends. Keep on doing what you do!
