From French to Thai and Greek to Korean, Anchorage sizzles with international flavors and local favorites to satisfy any craving. Alaska seafood often takes pride of place; the only way to get it fresher is to grab a reel and head for the water.

A cup of joe, a bite on the go, a sun-soaked lunch or a world-class meal await. Sip a local brew on an outdoor deck or try spirits direct from an Alaska distillery. Saved some room? Satisfy that sweet tooth with an artisan chocolate, a fresh-baked cupcake or a slice of homemade pie.
