Since 1972, we’ve brought the traditions, tools and tastes of the world to people who love to cook and entertain. Sur La Table was founded in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Farmers Market. From the beginning our goal was simple: to create the best place for cooks to shop. At a time when it was difficult to find premium culinary tools, Sur La Table was inspired by classic French cookware and techniques. Our unique selection of hard-to-find and cutting-edge utensils soon had food enthusiasts from around the globe making a pilgrimage to Seattle. Nearly four decades later, Sur La Table is still a culinary mecca — an exciting, interactive place to celebrate cooking.
