3 Best Restaurants in Anchorage, Alaska

The scones and sandwiches at Fire Island draw bustling morning crowds. There are three locations across the city, but the original is embedded in a cozy neighborhood just blocks from Downtown, and makes a perfect destination for a leisurely morning muffin run.

Always the top pick when local newspapers rate Anchorage pizzerias, Moose's Tooth is packed all week, despite the ample seating (it can hold up to 300 guests). The reason for the popularity is obvious: handcrafted beers from the on-site brewery, and a seemingly endless roster of pizzas topped with inventive options like jalapeños, cream cheese, shrimp, and lime.

Step inside this Downtown microcreamery for Alaska-inspired ice cream flavors like almond birch brittle and rhubarb crumble. The homemade, small-batch ice cream options rotate constantly, emphasizing local ingredients like honey, blueberries, sea salt, and even beer.
