Bistro Boudin

Located on the upper level of the historic Boudin bakery building at Fisherman’s Wharf, this has a gorgeous dining room with views out on to the wharf and Alcatraz across the bay. The cuisine is upmarket seafood – think fresh sh, oysters and Crab Louis – but the signature dish is creamy clam chowder served in an edible sourdough bowl, which you will see hordes of tourists packing away at the front of the building.
