A slow crawl up the side of Mt. Washington on the Duquesne Incline promises some of the most jaw-dropping views of the city skyline. As the incline inches up the mountain, the skyline slowly comes into sight until it’s in full view, shimmering in the golden sunlight or against the darkened sky. Drink in that view then treat yourself to a scrumptious meal at Altius in Pittsburgh, which also offers breathtaking views.

Perched high atop Mt. Washington and just steps from the Duquesne Incline, Altius Pittsburgh pairs a delicious, fine dining menu with some of the area’s best views for an unforgettable dining experience.

If you’re lucky enough to score a table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, you’ll have a front-row seat to the entire city skyline from Heinz Field and Point State Park to the downtown itself.

Only one thing can rival the views at Altius and that’s the expertly-crafted menu and dishes prepared by Executive Chef Jessica Bauer. Altius’ menu caters to carnivores, vegetarians, and diners on a gluten-free diet.

Kick off your meal with one of the tasty starters – chilled oysters, spicy she crab bisque, or Altius Caesar salad. The charcuterie board is perfect if you want to share with the table.
