Taku Glacier Lodge
Juneau has several salmon bakes. Though aimed primarily at tourists, they provide great food (hard to go wrong with fresh salmon) with an experience conveying the flavor of frontier Alaska. Taku Glacier Lodge is reached via a 15-minute floatplane flight up Taku Inlet, and allows you to combine flightseeing, glacier viewing and a salmon bake in one excursion.
The tour lasts three hours and is a little pricey for a salmon dinner, but a much better experience and cheaper than taking a helicopter to the ice field. Sign up at the lodge's booth on Juneau's waterfront, behind Merchant's Wharf.

Di Sopra
The Fiddlehead's upstairs dining room is Juneau's best upscale effort. The Italian restaurant features white-linen tablecloths, Mediterranean-mustard walls, a Chianti-colored carpet and a wine list that has been honored by Wine Spectator magazine. Most of the tables are along a wall of windows with a view of bustling Juneau below.

Costa's Diner
A bizarre little breakfast nook with a counter and stools inside and three tables in the hallway of the Merchant's Wharf. The food is good, the portions huge and there's no cash register. After finishing off a plate of eggs and smoked-salmon hash, you merely toss your money into a huge brass bucket on the counter and wave goodbye.

Doc Water's Pub
- Juneau, USA
- Restaurants › Pub
If the Hangar doesn't put you close enough to the water head next door where you can grab an outside table complete with seagulls. Dinner is served until 01:00, but this is a better place to linger in the late afternoon sun drinking beer and devouring the pub's Big Island burger (teriyaki sauce, pineapple salsa and Swiss cheese).

Soup Queen
You'll find hot-dog vendors all over downtown Juneau but pass them up for the Soup Queen, holding court in a small shack-on-wheels on the dock at the edge of Merchant's Wharf. Soups - like Thai fish chowder and andouille lentil - are made nightly and explode with flavor by the time the queen ladles them out the next day.

Hangar on the Wharf
A waterfront restaurant in Merchant's Wharf with tables perched right over a seaplane dock. The view of the channel and all the activity buzzing and floating around greatly improves whatever you ordered. Better than the food is the restaurant's large selection of imported beers and microbrews.

Pel'Meni
It serves one thing and one thing only - a bowl of authentic homemade Russian dumplings, filled with either potato or sirloin. Night owls will like the hours, record buffs will be amazed by the wallful of LPs (remember those?) and a turntable, providing music while you wait for your order.

Douglas Café
One of two good restaurants in Douglas worth waiting for the bus for. Serves almost 20 different types of burgers, each weighing in at a third of a pound. Can't make up your mind? Go with the local favorite, the Douglas Burger (ham, sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese).

H
Fiddlehead Restaurant
Juneau's longtime favorite has excellent food, a healthy variety of vegetarian and a fresh-and-creative 'California cuisine' approach to every dish - like breakfast offering 'Sylvia's Mom's Favorite': two eggs, cheddar cheese, guacamole and sour cream over brown rice.

Heritage Coffee Co & Café
- Juneau, USA
- Restaurants › Café
Juneau's most popular coffeehouse, for good reason. The coffee is great, the sofas comfortable and with the purchase of an espresso drink you get free Internet. The company also has several other cafés, including another one downtown at 216 2nd St.

Bullwinkle's
Okay, they have this strange fascination with a moose and his friend, Rocky the flying squirrel. But they're doing something right at Bullwinkle's - it's Juneau's oldest pizza parlor. No doubt it's the cheap pitchers of beer (around US$8 to $13.75).

Vito 'n' Nick's
A small pizzeria just north of the airport that makes 22 different varieties of pizza, as well as calzones, lasagna, wings and hot subs. For lunch you can buy pizza by the slice and it's like getting a quarter of a pizza on a paper plate.

Olivia's de Mexico
A friendly family-run cocina since 1974 that pipes Mexican music onto the street to entice you into its brightly colored restaurant downstairs. No halibut burritos here; the food is authentic as well as tasty.

At this Mongolian BBQ you either fill your own plate with fresh veggies, meats and seafood and watch a chef cook it on an open grill or choose mains such as Mango Mojo chicken or coconut catfish from a set menu.
