Staying in an Alaskan backcountry setting no longer means the cuisine has to suffer.  Over the years, our palate has developed and as a result, so have the dishes we offer in the North Face Lodge dining room.  We incorporate high-quality ingredients to prepare wholesome, delicious, and attractive meals. We grow much of our own produce organically in the greenhouse and raised beds at North Face Lodge. Our kitchens and bakery take pride in creating foods that will nourish and energize you during your stay.

Your hosts and naturalist guides join you at 7:30 a.m., for breakfast summoned by ringing of the breakfast bell. We start the morning with a breakfast bar of whole-grain hot cereal, homemade granola, cold cereals, homemade yoghurt, raisins, and nuts. The hot breakfast entrée, plated and served from the kitchen, may include an herb and goat cheese egg souffl'e with vegetable-potato hash, Dutch-oven pancakes with lingonberry sauce and alder-smoked bacon, or Spanish egg and potato frittata with cheddar-herb scones.

Following breakfast, we set out an elaborate spread of lunch fixings including home-baked bread, sandwich fillings, vegetables, fruits, trail mixes and fresh cookies for a make-your-own sack lunch. Whether on a guided hike or paddling across Wonder Lake, there is no need to return to the lodge for lunch.

Camaraderie and recounting of the day's events enhance the fine cuisine at the day's final meal. Served at 6:30 p.m., we start with fresh salad or soup and bakery bread, followed by an inspired entrée of meat or fish. A vegetarian option is also available at each evening meal. To complete the meal, we offer another taste of our baker's handiwork-a dessert from the tundra in a berry torte, or a rich flourless chocolate cake, perhaps.

We are far from many of our sources of supply. If you notify us when making your reservations, we are able to assist with most special diets. North Face Lodge does not have a liquor license, however you are welcome to bring your own.
