Washington is an incredibly beautiful state, and some of our restaurants highlight so much more than the food. Catch a sunset from Ray’s Boathouse in Seattle or feast on the deck at Clinkerdagger in Spokane and you’ll see what we mean. However, it’s tough to top the breathtaking views that await you from the top of the mountain at Crystal Mountain Resort. Summit House is truly one-of-a-kind.

Summit House Restaurant is Washington’s highest elevation restaurant, standing tall at 6,872 feet.

Management / TripAdvisor You’ll find it at the top of Crystal Mountain in Enumclaw … and we do mean the top.

This is the only restaurant in the state you have to reach by gondola.

John K / TripAdvisor The gondola ride is nice and peaceful, but if you’re terrified of heights, you may want to dine elsewhere.

Once you step off the gondola, a rustic but elegant space awaits you.

Summit House Restaurant / Facebook The team welcomes everyone, from those in fancy attire to patrons who have just finished a day of skiing.

To say the views are unparalleled here would be an enormous understatement.

Not only are the views breathtaking, but the food here happens to be fantastic.

Summit House Restaurant / Facebook The menu rotates seasonally, but it always includes plenty of fresh, local cuisine.

During the summer, you can enjoy lunch or dinner here—but in the winter, you’ll have to settle for lunch.

Summit House Restaurant / Facebook A piping hot bowl of wild game chili with views like this will never be disappointing.

Summit House Restaurant is a place every Washingtonian should experience at least once.
