Girdwood Restaurants

Located a scenic hour’s drive from nearby Anchorage, Girdwood is a resort town with a funky ambiance. Its Alyeska resort attracts skiers and snowboarders from across the continent, but the town also boasts worthy dining options. At the base of the resort, try one of the somewhat raucous restaurants and inns on a weekend night. They have a fine selection of hearty pub fare and an extensive selection of beers on tap. If your appetite leans slope-side, the traveler will find gorgeous views and healthy, varied fusion menus with an emphasis on international flavors and local ingredients. Savoring a hot bowl of Alaskan Bouillabaisse (made with King Crab, of course) on a cold night will form a treasure house of happy memories.
