Tacoma: On The Table

Farmers Markets- Berries, herbs, flowers, hazelnuts, veggies of every description from treasured heirlooms to new varieties! Seasonal produce from local growers are featured in small markets such as the Tacoma Farmers Market (downtown every Thursday through October) and Proctor Farmers Market (Saturdays in Tacoma's charming Proctor Business District).


Eclectic, Dynamic 6th Avenue- Tacoma's 6th Avenue Business District is one of the Northwest's liveliest, up-and-coming dining destinations. From upscale regional fare to the best in ethnic cuisines, 6th Avenue offers for every palate. It buzzes around the clock, from laid-back breakfast spots to late-night blues joints.


Almond Roca - Brown & Haley's best-known confection was created in 1914 by two Tacoma men who experimented with butter toffee, chocolate and diced almonds to produce the world-famous candy. The company went on to create the popular Mountain Bars and European-style Belgium Cremes and Selections chocolates.


"Restaurant Row" - Tacoma's Old Town District, where the city was officially founded in 1864, offers an interesting variety of restaurants, all perched along Ruston Way overlooking Commencement Bay. Each enjoys the same spectacular views of the bay and ships further out in Puget Sound. The restaurants range from casual eateries to fine dining, grilled burgers to succulent seafood, Northwest cuisine to Italian. There's even a brew pub and casino in the mix!


Microbreweries & Brew Pubs -Engine House No. 9 started it all, opening as a restaurant in a 1907 firehouse 30 years ago and then debuting the county's first microbrewery in 1992. Others followed: Harmon Pub & Brewery in downtown Tacoma; The Ram Bighorn Brewing Co. & Restaurants in Tacoma.
