Gilbert's Chowder House

On the most punishing mid-winter afternoons, a cup (or, better, a bread-bowl) of clam chowder can transcend mere foodstuff and rise to become a soul-warming mood booster. Gilbert's is rightly recognized for serving the heartiest chowdah in Portland. It's warm, it's thick, it's creamy, and they don't skimp on the bivalves.
