Our Story

Since 1988.

A little history

Since 1988, Jens' Restaurant has been serving fine food and wine in a fun and elegant atmosphere. Originally opened by Chef Jens Hansen and his wife Annelise, the restaurant quickly became a favorite destination among locals — a place to celebrate special occasions, or simply to enjoy a wonderful lunch, dinner, or glass of wine with friends.

Today, Jens' Restaurant is owned by Chef Nancy Alip, who shares the same passion for creating flavorful dishes using the finest quality ingredients. Our menu features fresh Alaskan seafood, steaks, Danish specialties, delectable house-made desserts and fine wine.

Our Featured Artwork

A dining room
that doubles as
a gallery.

Our neighbors at Georgia Blue Art Gallery provide us with a wide selection of contemporary artwork created by some of Alaska's most loved artists. Conveniently located just across the parking lot, the Blue Hollomon Gallery offers work from painters, potters, sculptors and woodworkers along with many other fine arts.

If you're interested in purchasing any of the artwork on display at Jens', please let us know and we'll be happy to arrange a meeting with a Georgia Blue representative.
