Fairbanks, the Yukon, and the Interior Restaurants
Most restaurants fly in fresh salmon and halibut from the coast. Meat-and-potatoes main courses, pastas and pizzas, and pub fare dominate most menus, but an increasing number of both ethnic restaurants and establishments serving healthier fare have opened in and around Fairbanks in recent years.

Most restaurants fly in fresh salmon and halibut from the coast. Meat-and-potatoes main courses, pastas and pizzas, and pub fare dominate most menus, but an increasing number of both ethnic restaurants and establishments serving healthier fare have opened in and around Fairbanks in recent years. The food isn't the only thing full of local flavor: Alaskan pride runs strong, so expect to see snowshoes, bear hides, the state flag, and historic photos incorporated into restaurant decor. As for attire, even in the most elegant establishments Alaskans sometimes wear sweats or Carhartts.
Salmon cooked over an open fire with a sauce of lemon and brown sugar is a favorite at this indoor-outdoor restaurant in Pioneer Park's Mining Valley. Guests select their main course—Bering Sea cod, prime rib, and snow crab are other popular options—and pick up sides, salads, and drinks at separate stations in this food-court-in-the-forest setting.
Airport Way and Peger Rd., Fairbanks, Alaska, 99701, USA
With offerings ranging from rack of lamb and lobster cakes to honey apple halibut and New York steaks, this impressive restaurant has won a loyal local following. Lavelle's also serves more than 30 wines by the glass and holds regular wine tastings and other events, lending the restaurant an air of sophistication far removed from the frontier image cultivated elsewhere in Fairbanks.
Don't go to this wood-walled dining room expecting great variety, but you should go if you have a big appetite and are hungry for prime rib, lobster, prawns, or king crab. There's also a good salad bar, prompt service, and homemade bread that comes with every order. The "Turtle Cut" serving of prime rib, advertised as a "medium portion," weighs about a pound.
2098 Old Steese Hwy., Fairbanks, Alaska, 99712, USA
Fairbanksans are known to make the 40-mile round-trip for the delicious dinners here, including prime rib, steaks, and Alaskan seafood dishes. Don't be discouraged by the lakeside building's outward appearance—rustic logs belie the menu's elegance. For a study in Alaskan-style contrasts, stop in the Trapline Lounge first for predinner refreshment.
Chena Hot Springs Rd., Fairbanks, Alaska, 99712, USA
