Boston Sail Loft

Located right on the water in Boston’s historic North End, the charmingly rustic Boston Sail Loft has been serving up classic seaside eats to locals and tourists alike since 1984. The family-owned restaurant has become a Boston landmark for its great service, casual waterfront atmosphere, and fresh seafood, and there’s one dish that’s really put it on the map: their New England clam chowder.

This chowder is served in an overflowing mug at the restaurant, and it’s insanely thick, rich, smooth, and creamy. It’s loaded with fresh chopped clams and potatoes, and copious amounts of dill cuts through the richness. This chowder is a true taste of Boston, and it’s won the “Best of Boston” award from Boston Magazine in 2018 and 2019!
