Pike Place Chowder is one of those Seattle eateries that are featured in every tourist guide as an absolute must-visit.< As a result, its flagship Pike Place Market spot is swarming with tourists, all getting a taste of one of the eight kinds of chowder served every day. They also offer samplers of five chowders.

Can they be called chowder flights? The counter service and utilitarian, no-nonsense décor doesn’t bother anyone, and while all they serve are the chowders and great sandwiches, that is all they need to be America's number one and Seattle's best chowder café. If you become completely hooked, you will be glad to learn that they now deliver their chowders anywhere in the States. If you are curious about the basic recipe, they are all simmered slowly in small batches, with plenty of fresh seafood and vegetables as well as real butter and cream.
