Matt’s pulls no punches. Have a stew laced with absinthe , that whole eyes-and-all fish plated as if it were still swimming , pasta with lamb’s neck, or a thick slab of house-made head cheese Read more

Great food,drinks and atmosphere. You can enjoy a view of the market if you get a table in the window. It's a busy place so if you want to get a table book it.Otherwise just enjoy your food at the bar

Best meal I’ve had in Seattle so far. Tomatoes , eggplant and octopus were all done to perfection and with great flavor profiles

CCnyc

Highly recommend making a reservation , even for lunch . Daily specials are on point as is the selection of local wines and oysters . Try the deviled eggs . I will definitely be back for the Cobb salad .

Octopus appetizer and seafood stew were both sublime. Service was impeccable, and their Somm really went above and beyond. Finally... the view . Hard to beat!

Andreas Cohen

@mattsinthemkt is a must-do local institution that your #Seattle visit includes. Go for the Chips to start. The #albacoretuna & #catfish sandwiches are amazing

Excellent fish and seafood , cooked à point with attentive service . Octopus , chevre salad , scallops and any fish !

Matt's in the Market is a go-to spot for both tourists and creative edibles, as evidenced by their recent deployment of this frozen, pureed take on traditional kimchi . Read more

The Banh Mi with pork belly is to die for. Was surprised at the delicious water buffalo pastrami

Jane Timm

great service; we weren't rushed. if you're having trouble finding, find this sign, stand where you think photographer would--then turn right.

Jana

Everything! This is such a special, hidden gem .

Kristen A

The pulled pork is excellent

Thrillist

Can't beat the pork belly confit “bánh mi ̀” and stunning views over Elliot Bay/Pike Place Market .

Galen Driver

Robbie hooks up what is rightfully ranked the best Bloody Mary in Seattle, with a never ending snit on the side. If you anywhere near here GET ONE.

Go for lunch at the bar to enjoy the view of the market and the amazing, friendly service from Robby . Order whatever is advertised on the chalkboard .

Next to The Crumpet Shop and Chez Shea. Take the elevator to the top floor. Great view of the Public Market iconic sign.

Rick C

Great find. The food is excellent, the staff is delightful, the location is perfect.. what more do you need.

Young C

Food takes an eternity. We waited 1 hour and 45 min for the entree to come out so be sure to order an app. The arugula salad with Dungeness crab was great.

The quality of food has not flagged since founder Matt Janke sold the restaurant to Dan Bugge and Chester Gerl took over the kitchen. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Get the seafood stew ! It's closer to Thai green curry and is an impressive pile of deliciousness.

Perfect weekend brunch : Matt's in the Market and take in the view . Order the Bloody Mary with a snit of Miller High Life (bartender is from Decatur, IL). Grab the lamb burger , it's my favorite EVER. Read more

Cornmeal crusted catfish sandwich - it's crunchy and perfectly cooked

The Seattle Times

Long before the eat-local mantra, we had Matt's, whose dinner menu was based on whatever Matt Janke found downstairs at the stalls near Pike Place. Happy hour offers a good entree sampling. 5-7pm Read more

Everything is good. You have to order the octopus . It's fantastic.
