Sitka Pelmeni

Russian Dumplings Steps from the Cathedral in Old Sitka

Sitka Pelmeni is a small café in the heart of historic Sitka, just across the street from St. Michael the Archangel Cathedral. The menu is short and to the point: beef or potato dumplings, topped with a generous choice of sauces from sour cream and chili to fresh cilantro.

The café is built for a quick but cozy visit: seating is limited, and dumplings are made fresh in small batches, so the wait rarely runs long. Guests often mention the homemade taste of the filling and the friendly staff - it is one of those stops worth making while walking through downtown Sitka between the cathedral, the museums, and Sheldon Jackson.

Whether you are in town for a few hours off a cruise ship or exploring historic Sitka on foot, Sitka Pelmeni is an easy, tasty place to take a short break.
