Atlanta's favorite food hall is located inside an old Sears and Roebuck store built in 1923. The largest brick structure in the Southeast, Ponce City Market is where Atlantans go to indulge. Explore a slice of the city while eating at many of well curated restaurants inside. As we we walk around we'll tell the stories of the building and the area of the city long before it was the destination it is today.

David's number one fan
2023-11-12
Would recomend one hundred percent! My partner and I went to celebrate our one year anniversary and we luckily only had one other couple on the tour with us! We were led by the amazing guide David who was charismatic and a joy to be around. He would constantly check in and make sure we had what we needed. I wish I could have tipped him a million dollars! The food was fresh and delishous and there was a break in between to digest while looking through local artist's work. The tour finished with gelato and eclairs that left me increadibly full and still craving more. It also made me have a deeper apreciation for the Ponce City Market's history. Accesibilty wasn't an issue in the slightest which was a huge relief, and since the weather was cold, the guide made changes to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The tour was pricey especially for a college kid like me, but I don't regret it in the slightest.
A perfect food tour! David is the best!

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, David, was superb! We learned so much about Ponce City Market and the Belt Line. It was a blast- excellent food, friendly and knowledgeable guide, and an all around great time. Well worth the price. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. David was the highlight of our day and sent us some wonderful photos of our group. Thank you!!

David was amazing! We ended up having a private tour of Ponce Market. David was informative, the food was amazing and the market itself was glorious. I love that it used to be Sears & Roebuck. It’s essentially a mall but it’s more than that and it’s reflected in the details, new and old, and also the level of cuisine made there. The food is locally sourced and no big named chains just local restaurants and award winning chefs. David told us all of this. The tour is great and really by the third tasting we were full and took the desserts back to the hotel.
