Headed to Talkeetna? You have to try these restaurants.

Talkeetna is known for its views of Denali, the resident feline mayor, and its … dining scene? Here are some of our favorite restaurants in this small town with big flavor:

• Talkeetna Spinach Bread: This is an Alaska summer staple. Cheesy, garlicky, delicious bread. Need I say more?

• Foraker Restaurant: The most high-end restaurant in town, but Carhartts are still acceptable. Serves fresh seafood year-round like halibut, salmon and scallops.

• Mountain High Pizza Pie: Order the lasagna bites.

• New this summer is Homestead Kitchen. With salmon skewers and halibut ceviche on the menu, it promises to be a new downtown favorite.
