At the Pacific Place location, the New England Clam Chowder is the same signature cream-based soup with clams, bacon, potatoes, and spices, offered in several sizes plus a sourdough bread bowl. What sets this rendition apart is that it brings the famous market recipe into a more spacious downtown setting with an expanded seafood menu and happy hour, making it easier to enjoy the chowder without the Pike Place crush. The chowder arrives thick and steaming, with a substantial portion and a balance of smoky and briny notes that remains consistent across repeat visits. Travelers and locals alike often note that this branch delivers the iconic chowder quality with shorter lines and more comfortable seating than the original.
