I frequented this restaurant nearly every day that I worked at the gallery. They had a great selection of fresh, local products and salads. They had many fabulous specials and the soups were always made from scratch. I try to stop there everytime I am in Friday Harbor

Market Chef was a delight. When we were there they had an amazing variety of tastes. Home baked bread, seafood, international dishes and basic yummy food were all made with an emphasis on taste and healthy ingredients (seems oxymoronic). The food is all served deli style, including the amazing muffins and cookies. It is pretty small so at high traffic... More

This place is SUPER cute. But then again, there's not many places in Friday Harbor that isn't super charming (except for the Asian Pizza restaurant, what is that?!). The boy was craving a good sandwich, and thanks to the good reviews, we ventured over there. The boy ordered a tuna salad sandwich and they offered to grill his bread even... More

Really worth a visit. Everything is tasty and great, and the people are nice. The sandwiches and soups are my favorite. They use great quality ingredients and prepare everything with care.

This deli is magnificent. I could eat every meal here, the food is delicious! The Mac and cheese and grilled veggies, fish tacos and sandwiches were perfect. Great latte and cookies too. The only downside is they are not open this weekend and I catch the ferry home early Monday. Great recipes, fresh ingredients and great value.

I'd eat lunch here every day if I could. Daily specials, great sandwiches and the berry cobbler was to die for.

I loved the ham and cheese sandwich and my husband loved the egg salad sandwich with soup. It is a very busy little place. The food was good and the value was great. I recommend Market Chef for a great little lunch.
