Club Paris has been on Anchorage's dining scene since 1957, before Alaska had even gained its statehood, and is the city's oldest steakhouse. The restaurant frequently garners many local awards, including "best steak."  The menu offers as many as eight different cuts of steak. Club Paris also specializes in fresh seafood like prawns, scallops, lobster and crab. For lunch, you can order lighter fare including quiche and sandwiches.

F Street Station is a bar with a warm, cozy atmosphere and serves bar staples like sandwiches and hamburgers. Seafood specials are offered daily. This place is popular with locals and crowded most nights. On Sundays, there is a breakfast menu, serving the likes of eggs benedict with smoked salmon.

It may be difficult to getaway from the typical steaks-and-seafood restaurants in Alaska, but one place to try is Sacks Cafe. Sure, there's king crab legs and frash halibut, but these are paired with Asian vegetable slaw and coconut curry, respectively. A recent menu included a "deconstructed pork tamale," pork tenderloin with black bean cake, fried plantain, roasted corn salsa and a pepper cream sauce. There are daily menu specials, and an exceptional wine list.
