Vegan And Vegetarian Tastings

Overview

This Rogue City walk spends an hour and a half inside and around Pike Place Market, moving between plant-based tasting stops with a local guide. You meet on the sidewalk outside Freya Bakery on Western Avenue, then work through the market and down to the waterfront, sampling as you go. Stops named on the itinerary include Turkish Delight, Freya Bakery and Cafe, Lands of Origin, Truffle Queen, maíz, and Woodring, plus short stretches at Pike Place Market itself, the Overlook Walk, and the Seattle Waterfront.

The tastings are generous rather than token. The listing says the food and drink tastings are ample and advises you to show up hungry, and a past traveller advised starting with a very empty tummy. The mix leans sweet and savoury.

It suits vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. Non-vegans on past tours said they did not feel shortchanged, and one described it as a great tour for all food lovers. Groups cap at 12 travellers, the route is wheelchair and pushchair accessible, and service animals are allowed. Locals also book it and report finding places they had never noticed.
