Welcome to Club Paris Alaska’s Premier Steakhouse! The Club Paris safely weathered the 1964 Earthquake unlike many other structures in Anchorage. This area of the restaurant was an addition to the original building that was intended to look like a Parisian sidewalk cafe with an "Awning" like ceiling and Shrubbery. Here you can also find a chef’s hat and an original menu, hand drawn by Club Paris’ first chef, Jewel Hawkins. A photograph, circa 1937, of the original structure before anything was erected around it may be seen on the west wall near the front entrance. Before the doors were opened as the Club Paris, the building at various times was a funeral parlor, a furniture store, and home for the store keepers. Cafe was inducted in the the Alaska Business Hall of Fame. The boutique restaurant of fourteen tables operates out of the second oldest cottage in downtown Anchorage. Herbs, spices, lettuce, and edible flowers are grown on the premises in the summer. Van, along with his two partners, Jack Amon and Ken Brown, opened the Marx Brothers Caf in 1979.
