Where To Eat In Seattle - Pike Place Chowder

This award-winning, Hall-of-Fame chowder cafe was named #1 in America. It’s a seafood institution in Pike Place Market that serves Yelp’s #1 Most Popular Dish in the United States, the New England Clam Chowder. Although this dish does come from the opposite coast, there is no question that Pike Place Chowder does it the best. It all started when a couple of chefs got a little too competitive in the kitchen, seeing who could make the best Clam Chowder for their Friday special.

Owner and founder Larry Mellum has made it his goal to constantly improve their recipes and upgrade their ingredients. It’s the reason why their chowders constantly clean house at every competition they enter. They’ve even won the most prestigious chowder cooking competition - the Great Chowder Cook-Off in Newport Rhode Island - three times in a row! Being named the “Nation’s Best Chowder” in three consecutive years made administrators retire the dish from the competition and then inducted it into their Hall-of-Fame. Not bad for a small cafe on the opposite coast.
