Pike Place Chowder

Downtown, Pike Place & Waterfront


Proof that some of the best culinary ideas are almost ridiculously simple, this Pike Place Market hole-in-the-wall takes that New England favorite (clam chowder) and gives it a dynamic West Coast makeover. You can choose from four traditional chowders in four different sizes accompanied by four different salads. Then you can fight to eat it at one of four tables.

The chowder has been voted the nation's best more than once – in competitions held in New England!
