    I visited Lowell's with a coworker for a late lunch and I'm SO glad we did. You order at the front and choose one of the three levels to sit at, the third with a beautiful water view. The gentleman taking our order was so kind! Coworker got the fish and chips and I, the salmon Cesar. Both were a huge portions and very tasty but the salmon was the star of the show. Locally caught and sold in pike place market, it was some of the freshest salmon I've ever eaten. Truly melt in your mouth, and the price for each meal wasn't exorbitant. I'll definitely be visiting again next time I'm in Seattle

    Best calamari I have ever had. Fresh and delicious. The concept of ordering and finding your own seat is hectic but it worked out for our party of 6.

    Salmon Chowder Bread Bowl
    Sydney F.

    Lowell's is a must stop for incredible clam or salmon chowder in a bread bowl. It's a casual vibe inside Pike's Place where you order at a cash register and then your order is brought to your seat wherever you find one. The bread bowl was soft and fluffy which was the perfect addition to my salmon chowder. Great quality and lots of pieces of fish that was a perfect lunch on a chilly and rainy day. The clam chowder is also incredible and a staple of Seattle.

    Lowell's is a must-stop if you're in the market! We had a beautiful table tucked into a corner overlooking the harbor and outstanding service from Tyler--friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Breakfast was delicious. My husband had the classic combo with eggs, hash browns, link sausage, and toast--perfect comfort food. I ordered a huge bagel topped with herbed cream cheese, king salmon, pickled onions, and capers... absolutely fantastic. And bonus: unlimited hot coffee --always a win. It's tucked right inside the marketplace, and we actually found it thanks to a suggestion from our server at Alder & Ash the night before. So glad we listened! Would I come back? Heck yeah! Next time, I'm trying the crab omelette for sure

    Nothing like a bowl of CLAM chowder in the morning for breakfast along with corned beef hash, eggs, and hashbrowns. Service was awesome but the view on the 2nd floor was better than awesome!

    The place was Busy for a Thursday afternoon! Only place we could find seating was on the third floor. Pretty views but was a little cold for my liking. The table near us complained they were freezing also. That being said, the food was solid. I had a chicken sandwich with bacon and Swiss . It was huge and ate the entire thing! Hubby ate the fish tacos which were flavorful if a bit messy.

    Sat at the bar. For a birthday cocktail. A special chai martini. Served iced and so good. The wonderful bartender JoJo provided excellent service. And it's a bar, so the ambiance was fun. A gentleman sang happy birthday to my sister and me. And people were overall happy here. An iconic Pike Market place. Maybe next time I'll eat some food. SYOY!

    Prime location - inside Pike Place Market! We needed a drink and a quick bite while we toured the area. We visited around 4pm on a Friday and the place was not packed. Definitely a change from a previous visit I had last in Sept 5 years ago. The VIEW gave this place the 4th star. Try to get the window seat as much as possible if you visit this place. Ordered the chowder - just mid. Nothing special and definitely had it better. Wish the bread bowl was toasted. Calamari - small portion - was good and so was the fries. This place is one of those Order, Pay then get your food type. Menu offers many choices. They have a bar on the second floor and the drinks were great. Be prepared to pay more for your cocktails :/ The bartender was nice and welcoming.

    Drinks Only- As we were meandering through Pike's market on a Sunday, we decided we wanted to pop in for a drink or two. The bartender mentioned mimosas and Bloody Mary's so my ears perked up. They had an unusual Bloody Mary with salmon, so as we were in Seattle, I felt that I should try this version. I was expecting a piece of salmon on my drink, but rather the salmon was within the mix- interesting.....not sure I would order this again. I think I would stick with a regular bloody mary. Pricing wise, not bad for being at the market. Netherless the bartender was very friendly. And very kind to address all the questions of the tourist stopping in. The view from the bar of the water was beautiful. The bar on the second floor is quite small. If eating, there are plenty of seats among the three floors. Note lots of stairs....to the second and third floor.

    Seafood salad, Lowells Clam Chowder
    Hyunji K.

    A Local's Favorite Spot for the Best Views & Fresh Seafood! Whenever friends or family visit from out of state, Pike Place Market is the first stop on the list. There's just something about the hustle and bustle that makes you feel the heartbeat of Seattle. As locals, we've been coming to Lowell's (established in 1957!) for years. It's a classic for a reason--the history is deep and the views are unbeatable. Pro-Tip: Choosing the Right Floor The menus and service styles actually differ by floor, so keep this in mind: * 1st & 3rd Floors (Self-Service): Best for a casual bite. This is where you grab the classics like Fish & Chips and Clam Chowder. You order at the counter on the 1st floor--if you do, head straight to the 3rd floor for the best view! * 2nd Floor (Full Service & Bar): I usually head here when I'm without the kids. The menu is different from the first floor, and you can skip the long lines and the hassle of carrying your own food. The Food: On this visit, we enjoyed a bottle of wine along with: * Seafood Salad: The salmon was incredibly fresh and the portion was very generous. * Clam Chowder Bread Bowl: It's a classic. Consistently delicious and hits the spot every single time. * Steamed Clams & Garlic Bread: The clams were so plump and fresh! But the garlic bread on top was the real star. It was perfectly toasted and so flavorful--ideal for soaking up all that delicious clam broth. Service: Our server was lovely and incredibly attentive! However, the busgirl was quite rude, which was a bit of a bummer. But despite that, the food and the scenery made it a great afternoon.

    Lowells Clam Chowder & Salmon Chowder
    Shana N.

    Clam Chowder: 6.5/10 mid. Unfortunately, the chowder of the day wasn't salmon which is my fav. Fish and Chips: 7.5/10. Fish was ok, fries were good, tartar sauce was great. Calamari: 8/10. Calamari was good, sauce was ok. I enjoyed the calamari with the tartar sauce from the fish and chips. Service & Ambiance: 10/10. We sat at the top level where The Crab Pot was. We were brought our food from both restaurants and the window view was amazing

    Place has a great view, service was good. Staff were friendly, beer was cold. The food was nothing to brag about. Pretty much no taste I guess it would be like having COVID and eating here..

    How much I paid
    Regina I.

    It's a a great view! Apparently that's what you're paying for ! However as far as the quality of food for the price, nah ....i paid 90.00 plus tip for overfried hash browns that were hard as rocks. The hollandaise sauce was obviously not homemade and mehhh at best, the side was $6.95 . Obviously you needed it to drowned the rock hard hashbrow on my plate. It was 4.95 for a cup of black coffee! Not a latte, a cup of French roast! My Dungeness crab eggs Benedict was served on a piece of sourdough toast not a traditional English muffin at the price of $39.95!!!! For $10 more I could've bought a whole container of crab at Costco and made my entire family that consist of seven people homemade Dungeness crab Benedict with fresh organic eggs from my own chickens ! The French toast was basic at best... Save your money go across the street to Me Sum pastry by yourself a curry bun and be happy for a cheaper breakfast and a cup of coffee outside of the spot ! That might run $12.00 total!

    A Filipino Breakfast Experience You'll Never Forget…read more What can I say about Ludi's Restaurant? It's one of the most memorable, heart‑warming Filipino dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of soul--the kind of place where comfort food and genuine hospitality meet. We were even lucky enough to sit with a member of the family, who shared the history behind the restaurant. That personal touch made the meal feel even more special, like we were being welcomed into someone's home rather than just another breakfast spot. And the food--absolutely incredible. Every dish was comforting, flavorful, and deeply satisfying... exactly what you want in a Filipino breakfast. What We Ordered - Porkchop Breakfast -- Two beautifully breaded pork chops served with eggs, potatoes, toast, jam, and a rich brown mushroom gravy. Crispy, hearty, and delicious. - Lumpia‑Silog -- Seasoned beef wrapped in a perfectly fried eggroll wrapper. Crunchy, savory, and addictive. - Loco‑Moco -- A seasoned ground beef patty smothered in that same brown mushroom gravy. Pure comfort. - And as a special treat, the owner brought out oxtail for us to try--tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Everything we tasted was delicious, soulful, and cooked with love. I truly can't rave enough about this place. If you want a breakfast that feels like a warm hug, Ludi's is it.

I…read morerecommend getting one (two gals split one) instead of a stack because while it's so good, it's big and it's kind of like eating cake for breakfast. We also shared the combo silog which was a great way to sample more of the menu. I enjoyed the garlic rice and ilocos especially. The diner feels so cozy and homey - old photos of the owner and customers and magnets his guests left are a nice touch. Friendly and attentive service despite the busyness.

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.
