Ludvig's Bistro
An intimate restaurant serving Mediterranean-style Alaskan seafood, making it a popular choice for dinner dates in Sitka.
Chef Edith Johnson combines Mediterranean flavors with Alaskan seafood at Ludvig's, which voted fourth in USA Today's 2026 best restaurants in Alaska. Signatures include wild Alaskan paella, chowder, and Tuscan-style scallop appetizers, with bread baked fresh in-house. The restaurant is very small, so reservations are highly recommended, though you can also book bar seats facing the kitchen; outdoor deck seating is weather-dependent. The paella is around $42, making it one of the higher-end dining options in town. Located on Katlean Street, they also run a chowder cart at the Sitka Sound Science Center during the summer.
