Salmon and Bear
Salmon & Bear Restaurant
A refined restaurant in the town of McCarthy, interpreting New Alaskan cuisine with wild Copper River red salmon and locally foraged ingredients.
Located in McCarthy Lodge, widely seen as the start of dining in the valley, the restaurant once won a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Its specialties are wild Copper River red salmon, house-aged Alaskan Angus steaks and locally foraged ingredients such as morels. It now serves an à la carte menu. The dining room seats only about 40, so in the summer peak season book ahead through OpenTable or by phone. Main courses cost about USD 29–54. It is on Kennicott Avenue, McCarthy's main street, and you walk over the bridge from the parking lot to reach it.
Opening hours
Summer daily: breakfast 7:00–9:00, dinner 17:30–21:00
