Matt's in the Market sits on the top floor of the First and Pike building, directly above the stalls of Pike Place Market. The kitchen is open to the dining room, and window seating looks down over the market floor below.
The menu is built around market-influenced Pacific Northwest cooking, and reviewers keep coming back to the same handful of dishes: a seafood stew built on a rich broth, pan-seared scallops, and a fishwich with a following of its own. Deviled eggs, salads, and house bread round out the table.
Regulars and visitors alike treat it as an iconic Seattle stop, drawn by seafood pulled straight from the market below and service that holds up through a packed room.
