We stopped in while touring Sitka. We ordered 2 cups of chowder that came with bread. The chowder was very good, although I would have preferred the chorizo not be included. It was just enough to satisfy our lunch craving and continue touring the museums and enjoy the sites of Sitka.
We were encouraged to visit the Ludvig’s Mediterranean Bistro. Reviewing their menu and prices, the bistro was out of our budget. Since we’re sailing in Alaska aboard our own boat, I can cook Alaskan cuisine more economically.
Having the option of enjoying Ludvig’s chowder was perfect. I definitely suggest making a stop – if you’re lucky enough that they are open. In addition to dining inside, you can get your order to-go and sit outside and enjoy the waterfront.

We didn’t have any of the chowder or salmon here, but we did go in. This Chowder cafe is also a gift shop. Cute little place next to the museum, which is great for the children. Ludvig’s Chowder Cart gift shop was a fun stop and we did make a purchase. My daughter found some cute little marine animal shaped crayons that she loved. They were small enough for our carry-one and worked out great.

So glad we tried the chowder from Ludwig’s! So creamy with a kick and it’s one of the best chowders we’ve ever had. Sitka was one of our ports of call on our cruise and after a day of strolling the parks and the museum, we passed by this cozy place with benches and tables outside for a spectacular view of the water. Very accessible and is just a walking distance from the port. Highly recommended!

The spice in this clam chowder is next level. I am a little cold and after the hike and the museum close by, this is a real treat. Not you traditional no spice chowder. Dipping the bread they have is epic.

Hands down the best chowder I have ever had. I would buy it by the case if they would can it and ship it. The sandwich and cookies also delicious, but that chowder.

The best bowl of chowder ever. The chorizo hits just right and adds so much umami to this bowl. And the fresh potato bread, holy buckets!

After reading the reviews and looking at the pictures I was very excited to try this place. First it’s hard to find, it’s not a cart, but in a gift shop.
Second, after coming in with a smile ready to try some chowder, I get the sense they are sold out. Waited until the person behind the counter wasn’t distracted and asked, if they are sold out. Was met with a very rude, “I’m closed for the day”. Which I responded alright, you have a great day. It’s sad when the public is nicer than the businesses.
I was able to spend my money at other local eateries, so that was good.

Again a local suggested the clam chowder. Move over Boston. The best clam chowder ever. And the view outside was incredible.

Very good chowder. Why makes them special is its just a little bit different than ever other chowder you’ll have so it’s definitely worth going. They also have sandwiches and chips but the chowder is the star. They had one spiked with chorizo when we went.
