2 Best Restaurants in Aleutian Islands, Alaska Peninsula, and Pribilof Islands, The Bush

This casual bar off the main lobby of the Grand Aleutian Hotel is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat and a cold beer after a long day exploring. The menu features pub grub, like steaks, burgers, salads, and sandwiches, and the bar has a surprisingly good selection of beers. Many of the patrons are locals, mostly deckhands and boat captains, looking for a tasty meal in a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. On Friday night in summer they have cookouts out on the porch.

By far the fanciest restaurant in Unalaska, the Chart Room offers classic fine dining and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and Margaret Bay. On most nights it's not difficult to grab a table, though it pays to make a reservation for the famous Wednesday night seafood buffet or the Sunday brunch buffet. The regular menu offers some interesting fish and crab creations, along with such standard fare as halibut and chips with delicious homemade tartar sauce.
