Matt's in the Market

With oversized, arched casement windows overlooking Pike Place Market and its famed clock, Matt's truly is in the heart of the market. The 53-seat restaurant has a cozy, intimate vibe, with vintage-meets-loft decorating touches like checkered floor tiles and a high, beamed ceiling. Chef Chester Gerl's Pacific northwest menu is crafted from farm-, sea-, and ranch-fresh ingredients sourced at market stalls downstairs. Pork belly confit is served with house-made kimchee, while grilled fish of the day appears to be "swimming," plated upright on a bed of fennel-absinthe-stewed mussels.
