Cafe Michele in Talkeetna, Alaska

The two RV Gypsies first ate at Cafe Michele on June 29, 2009 - photos below. It was so wonderful that they returned to Talkeetna for an overnight stay on July 28th just to have lunch and dinner at Cafe Michele again. - both sets of photos are posted below.

On June 29, 2009 the two RV Gypsies, who are fast becoming professional travelers, ate at Cafe Michele in Talkeetna, Alaska. The food was a bit pricey, but yet quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. The server, Janus, was professional, personable and excellent. The atmosphere was very nice. Therefore, this restaurant gets an excellent rating in the opinion of the two RV Gypsies. In fact, the food and service was so good that the two RV Gypsies ate there several more times, despite the price.
Their website says they were voted one of the Top Ten Restaurants in Alaska, 2001 by the Food network and they were featured on the Food networks's "best of..." "Places to Take Dad", 2002 - Check their website for further information.

A strange thing - Karen was able to photograph some of the food they were served, but one main menu item was unable to be photographed. The camera would not allow Karen to take the photo. Yet, when the salt shaker was put in the same spot as the dinner plate was, the camera snapped the photo. Then Karen replaced the dinner plate in the same spot the salt shaker was and the camera would not snap. The dinner plate was moved in every spot of the table, but the camera refused to allow the dinner plate to be photographed. Every setting on the camera was tried, but the camera would just not photograph the main course that day. WEIRD!
 
As stated above, the two RV Gypsies returned to Talkeetna for an overnight stay on July 28th just to have lunch and dinner at Cafe Michele again - below- the lunch salad and a very happy Lee with the flowers from the salad.
After lunch, the two RV Gypsies informed them that they would return for dinner. The table was all set up and reserved for them when they arrived. They may be tourists but they sure were made to feel at home at Cafe Michele.

Karen Duquette and Janus - son of the owner, Michele - cook and server. Since Karen and Lee were celebrating the anniversary of their first date 44 years ago, Janus gave them two hearts to keep. If you go to Cafe Michele, please tell Janus we sent you - the two crazy RVers.
