ABOUT PIKE PLACE CHOWDER

Pike Place Chowder is a twenty seat, quick-service restaurant with additional outdoor patio seating, located on Post Alley in historic Pike Place Market. Our menu consists of eight outstanding made in-house chowders, sandwich rolls, and salads- with both side and entree versions available. Our clam chowder has won first-place awards everywhere in the country and may be the only chowder to have accomplished this fete on both coasts. Our chowder is a member of the "Great Chowder Cook-off," Hall of Fame in Newport Rhode Island after winning this event picking the "Nation's Best Clam Chowder" in 2000, 2001 & 2002. (see Awards page.)

We are understandably very proud of our "New England" Clam Chowder,
but our other chowders are equally outstanding. Next in line in
popularity is our Seafood Bisque. This chowder is made from fresh local
salmon and halibut, calamari and bay shrimp and is prepared in our tomato,
basil, cream broth. Our Smoked Salmon Chowder is also very popular and
prepared with capers and cream cheese. For those wanting a chowder a little
lighter in calories we offer two chowders prepared without any milk or
cream. Our Manhattan Clam Chowder is made with chopped Ocean Clams in a
tomato, onion and celery broth and our Crab and Shrimp Clear Chowder made
with shellfish stock, corn and assorted vegetables. We also offer a non
seafood chowder our Southwestern Chicken and Corn Chowder. This is our
"inland" chowder spiced with a southwestern flair. We are constantly working
up new chowder recipes. Two recent additions to our menu are our Island
Harvest Chowder, made with all local ingredients fresh out of Pike Place
Market. "In the shell" clams and mussels, salmon, scallops and market
vegetables in a creamy shellfish broth. Secondly, our Seared Scallop Chowder
made with fresh from the market scallops in a creamy broth with fresh dill.

If you are not in the mood for chowder we also offer sandwich rolls and
entree salads. We have created Seattle's original Dungeness Crab Roll. It is
a direct "knock-off" of the New England delicacy the Lobster Roll. Lobster
is not indigenous to this area but Dungeness Crab is. It is the sweetest most
flavorful crab meat around and makes for a great sandwich roll. We use a
baguette instead of the more traditional hot dog bun used throughout New
England but a great sandwich none-the-less. See our menu page for our full
menu or click here to learn how to order or chowder..

All of our food is available for dining in or to be taken out. We also
have chowder in convenient quart and one-half gallon sized containers to be
taken home for dinner, packaged for travel or to be shipped.
See our How To Order page.

We are open from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, except Thanksgiving,
Christmas, New Years Day and Easter when we are closed for business.
