But have you considered what Alaska has to offer in the culinary realm?<\/p>\n<p>When we think of great dining locations, New York City or California&#8217;s wine towns often come to mind, but the Land of the Midnight Sun shouldn&#8217;t be counted out. On your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/travel\/cruise\/alaska-cruises.php\" target=\"_blank\">Alaskan cruise<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/cruisetour\/cruisetour-vacation.php\" target=\"_blank\">cruisetour<\/a>, it&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;ll make a stop in the state&#8217;s capital of Juneau. It has plenty to offer. People travel from all around the Unites States and the world to see the beauty of Alaska, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about Juneau having scarce dining options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here a few places that locals and visitors love:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bullwinklespizza.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bullwinkle&#8217;s<\/a> &#8211; Yes, this establishment is named after a fictional character, but there&#8217;s nothing silly about what this pizza joint has to offer. In its 40-year history, little has changed about Bullwinkle&#8217;s\u00a0except for the pizza, as it seems to get better every time you visit. If you&#8217;re in the mood for something a bit different, the restaurant also has great sandwiches and an\u00a0extensive salad bar. While you&#8217;re waiting for your meal to arrive, you can munch on free popcorn.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingcrabshack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tracy&#8217;s King Crab Shack<\/a> &#8211; If you&#8217;re looking for a no frills restaurant where you can just chow down on some great seafood, Tracy&#8217;s is the place to go. You won&#8217;t even have to go far from your cruise ship to find a great meal. The row of food booths is wedged between the cruise ship dock and the library parking garage. Don&#8217;t let the location fool you about the food, though. Here, you&#8217;ll get the best crab bisque, rolls and cakes that you&#8217;ve ever eaten! If you&#8217;re with a large group, consider splitting a two pound bucket of king crab pieces.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45960\" style=\"width: 555px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack.jpg\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack-400x304.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack.avif 545w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45960\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45960\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack.jpg\" alt=\"tracys-king-crab-shack\" width=\"545\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack.jpg 545w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/tracys-king-crab-shack-400x304.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-45960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Tracy&#8217;s King Crab Shack<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twistedfish.hangaronthewharf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twisted Fish<\/a> \u00a0&#8211; This restaurant takes Alaska&#8217;s fishing heritage very seriously. Almost every item on the menu has some sort of seafood. This isn&#8217;t surprising since it&#8217;s located next to one of Juneau&#8217;s busiest commercial wharves. Its inviting interior makes it a perfect location for both daytime and evening dining.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SALT Alaska\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SALTalaska?bookmark_t=page\" target=\"_blank\">SALT Alaska<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; Formerly known as Zephyr, Salt is arguably one of Juneau&#8217;s best up-and-coming restaurants and certainly its most innovative. This Mediterranean-inspired restaurant incorporates fresh Alaskan Seafood into many of its dishes. It&#8217;s seafood stew, filled with smoked salmon, clams and prawns is one of its most-ordered items. Those looking for more classic dishes will be happy to see\u00a0items like lemon-marinated lamb and grilled calamari on the menu. Salt also boasts an extensive wine list that could compete with any fine dining establishment in the Lower 48! The new owners of the restaurant also own Tracy&#8217;s, so expect to find some great crab dishes as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46258\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple.jpg\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple-400x400.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple.avif 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46258\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46258\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple.jpg\" alt=\"salt-alaska-couple\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-couple-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-46258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of SALT Alaska<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_46257\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine.jpg\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine-400x321.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine.avif 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46257\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46257\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine.jpg\" alt=\"salt-alaska-wine\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/salt-alaska-wine-400x321.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-46257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SALT Alaska has one of the finest collections of wines<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hangar.hangaronthewharf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hangar on the Wharf<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0The Hangar has been a local favorite since 1996 with outstanding customer service.
