2 Best Restaurants in Alaska, USA

Yet another upscale eatery tucked into an Anchorage strip mall, the colorful plating at Altura makes up for its beige location. The clever menu here features its buzzworthy burgers, plus only-in-Alaska items like red king crab mac and cheese.

This casually stylish restaurant offers excellent views of the flats at the mouth of the Kenai River as well as the surrounding mountains. The menu emphasizes produce and seafood sourced locally as well as house-smoked meats—try the confit and roasted half organic chicken, or grilled rockfish with garlic butter, romesco sauce, and butternut-squash risotto.
