Some of the city’s finest eats—ranging from handcrafted sourdough bagels at Rubinstein, to Korean-Hawaiian fusion from Marination, to Rachel’s Ginger Beer’s finely blended drinks, to Mamnoon Street’s Middle Eastern mezze—can be found in this locality.

South Lake Tour - Had a great time with Eric on his South Lake tour. I have been on a lot food tours and I would put him on top of my list. Plenty of food. You won’t leave hungry. Each stop represents a different style of cooking. I enjoyed how explained each process. The walk is not hard and moves at a comfortable pace. Next time i’m in town will try his Pike Place tour.

Fun with plenty of samples - I've enjoyed the coffee tour and also the South lake union tour. Both were so much fun, and the guides were interactive and knowledgeable. I don't normally expect to be full with this type of food tour, but there was plenty of samples on both where I felt fully satisfied. I live in Seattle, but my Eat Seattle tour showed me so many new places to enjoy that are easily missed when you're driving by. I think this is a great activity for both locals and visitors.

10/10 highly recommend - This was such a fun and informational experience. It was happenstance that my partner and I caught a tail end of Chef Eric’s marketplace tour and had to take in his review of the streetfood in South Lake. It was a vibrant, funny, and absolutely delicious experience. Highly recommend if you’re considering doing it to let him be your guide! Not only is he highly knowledgeable about the foods that you sample he also gives a lot of fun history about the area.

Great Tour and Amazing Food in SLU! - We were visiting our daughter in Seattle and were looking for different and unique food options outside of the market. This tour did not disappoint! Chef Eric was our guide and he was fun and knowledgeable about the area and the food. The food was excellent and we did not leave hungry. We definitely found some new favorites that we will be returning to on future visits. Thank you Eric and Eat Seattle! We would highly recommend this tour
