Crema's Take

Tucked into Anchorage's vibrant dining scene, this spot masterfully blends an elevated restaurant with a serious coffee program, making it equally worthy of a leisurely morning with pour-overs and pastries or an evening wine event. The team here—attentive, consistent, and genuinely committed to quality—treats every visit like it matters, whether you're lingering over a specialty drink, sharing a Mediterranean bowl, or discovering why their pork chop has converted skeptics into believers. It's the rare place that somehow gets better over time, where seasonal menus and thoughtful additions keep regulars coming back while newcomers wonder how they've never heard of it sooner.

South Restaurant and Coffeehouse is an outstanding restaurant. Somehow South manages to maintain and elevate their excellence over the years! Their menu changes and additions only enhance their menu. Food standards are high and never waiver. Gluten free? Say no more, this restaurant has got you covered! Enjoy a cocktail with dinner or Mimosa with brunch, this is the place for you! Excellent drinks and selection! Shoutout to Claudia, one of South’s shining star servers!

We initially went to South Restaurant for a wine tasting event they had. Ended up ordering dinner there as well. I had their Mediterranean bowl and my bf had the burger. We both enjoyed our meals and the wine was delish! We ended up going back a few days later with some friends to try brunch. Everyone loved the food. South Restaurant is def on our list for date nights and happy hours going fwd. Great ambiance, food & cocktails! We'll will probably try another one of their events soon like Bingo or trivia.

Spot on as always🔥 I never would order a porkchop out until I had it here first. It changed my perspective and I will now order them out at resturants of this caliber. Its been wonderful every time. The mocktails are very well done as well.

We had a delightful breakfast at South. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Our water came to the table often to make sure we had everything we needed. All the food we had was delicious, especially the Pavlova. It’s to die for.

Picture it: peak tourist season, July in Alaska. It's a Saturday night and we need a reservation for 10 and no one is taking reservations. And then South came through! We had a great table in a private area. The service was on point - helpful, prompt, and professional. Let's get to the food -- the star of this experience. I'm a sucker to try French onion soup whenever possible but I'll also judge your establishment based on the quality of this dish and the French onion here is OUTSTANDING. The crab cakes with the poblano sauce were also unbelievably good. In fact, our table of 10 didn't have a dish that wasn't excellent. I'll be back if I'm back in town again.
