Halibut tacos? Absolutely—here
in Alaska, fresh fish is the name of
the game. And not just any fish—the
salmon, halibut, snow crab, mussels,
and shrimp come from some of the cleanest,
most pristine waters in the world.
There's more to be found than just
seafood. Enjoy steak slathered in peppercorn
sauce or freshly-prepared Japanese
yakisoba noodles. Choose between elegant
or down-to-earth restaurants: Some
boast 10,000 – bottle wine cellars,
while others feature stuffed grizzly
bears standing over indoor creeks.
Those with simpler tastes can enjoy
one of many brewery/eateries, offering
award-winning beers and great food
at affordable prices.
Listed below you'll find our favorite
choices for dining out in Anchorage.
All the restaurants reviewed are either
long-standing classics or newer standouts
that are beginning to leave their mark
on the Anchorage dining scene. Expect
a very enjoyable and memorable experience
at any of the fine-dining options.

| Incredible steaks-some of the best we've ever had. 47-year old downtown classic, voted best steak in Anchorage 9 years in a row. Big amongst locals. Interior is dark (but not in a bad way). Leaving the restaurant after dinner on a summer night, you're almost blinded when you step out the door. |

| Living proof of an Alaskan anomaly-some of the best restaurants in town are in strip malls. Great wine list, excellent salads, wide selection of entrees and creative, well-plated desserts. Made up of two large rooms (the "restaurant" and the more casual "bistro") split by lively bar and open kitchen. May be the city's best new entrant in the restaurant scene in recent years. |

Consider stopping for a pre- or post-hike dinner (change of clothing suggested). Currently patronized by those "in the know;" may claim top non-downtown restaurant honors in the next few years. |
