Restaurants & Dining in Girdwood, Alaska

Girdwood eats far bigger than its size. For a valley of two thousand people, the range runs from an award-winning bakery and a genuine European-style cafe to salmon bakes, brewpubs, and a handful of fine-dining rooms up at Alyeska Resort. Many kitchens lean on Alaskan seafood (halibut, salmon, and spot prawns) pulled from the same waters you can see from the table.

Use the filters to find exactly what you’re after: a quick coffee and pastry before the tram, a casual burger after a hike, a pint of local beer, or a special-occasion dinner. Hours shift with the seasons here, so it’s always worth calling ahead in the shoulder months.

Every restaurant below is an independent Girdwood business. Reservations are a good idea on winter weekends and through the summer tourist season, when the town’s population swells with skiers and hikers.
