Matt's in the Market

Pike Place Market, Seattle · New American · $$$

Perched above Pike Place Market since 1996, Matt's has built its reputation on a simple rule: buy from the vendors downstairs, cook what arrived that morning, change the menu when the season does. It's market-to-table in the literal sense - the Dungeness crab, the Pacific halibut, and the produce on your plate were purchased a few floors below earlier that day. In a tourist corridor full of mediocrity, this is where Seattle locals actually eat.
