Local favorites
Eat & drink
Our own favorite spots in Anchorage. Tap an address for directions or a number to call.
Breakfast
White Spot Cafe
7am – 3pm, closed Sunday
A great place to taste some great Alaskan food. You won’t regret trying the Halibut Sandwich with fries.
Breakfast
Middle Way Cafe
8am – 4pm, all week
We love the vegan and gluten-free options, like the vegan breakfast burrito. Don’t hesitate to try the Summer Breeze smoothie. As a bonus, you can enjoy the art on the walls. You can see we love art!
Pizza
Saverio’s Pizzeria
11am – 8pm
If you want to try real Italian pizza, this is the place to go. The owner is from Italy and has been delighting us with his delicious food for a long time. You should definitely try the Clam Casino Pizza.
Pizza
Moose’s Tooth Pub & Pizzeria
11am – 10pm (11pm Friday and Saturday)
We recommend the diablo breadsticks for appetizers, and the Avalanche, Brewhouse Favorite, or any other pizza to be honest. Great salads also. Usually very busy, so plan for a wait time.
Seafood
Simon & Seafort’s Saloon & Grill
11:30am – 10pm (11am – 9pm Sunday)
Everything here is delicious. We suggest the Crab & Macadamia Nut Stuffed Halibut, which you can enjoy with a nice view if you get a seat next to the window. It will be a meal to remember.
Seafood
Glacier Brewhouse
11am – 11:30pm
We love the seafood chowder and the fettuccini jambalaya, among other items on the menu. For dessert, the bread pudding is phenomenal.
Seafood
Humpy’s Great Alaskan Alehouse
11am – 1am
From the Halibut fish and chips to the salmon and scallop fettuccine, everything is great. If you are not into seafood, they also have equally delicious burgers and pizzas.
International
Rays’ Place
10am – 3pm and 5pm – 8:30pm, closed Saturday and Sunday
Amazing Vietnamese food. Every dish is delicious! We love the combination of fried rice, beef & broccoli, lamb curry, garlic chicken, and pho. The fresh spring rolls are by far the best in town.
International
Taste of India
11am – 9:30pm, weekends open at 12pm, closed Tuesday
Our absolute favorite Indian food place in town. We recommend the Tamarind Pork, especially if you like spicy food. Make sure to call ahead and make a reservation as this place keeps busy.
International
Pho Lena
11am – 10pm, closed Sunday
If you like Thai food we recommend this place. There are several around town owned by the same family, but we suggest the one in Spenard that is the closest to the house.
Sushi
Sushi Ya
12pm – 10pm
Really close to the house. Our favorite is the spider roll and mango twins roll.
Sushi
Ronnie Sushi
11:30am – 10pm (Sunday opens at 2pm)
Our favorite sushi roll is called the Open Your Mouth Roll. There is a Ronnie’s Sushi 1 on the opposite side of town, which was the original. It is a bit far from the house, but totally worth the drive.
Burgers
Tommy’s Burger Stop
10:30am – 9pm (Saturday opens at 11am, Sunday 12pm – 6pm)
Big, gourmet, mouthwatering burgers! Awesome fries and milkshakes, too.
Burgers
