Hitch a ride on the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh for a leisurely journey to the top of Mount Washington. The city skyline slowly reveals itself as the incline inches closer to the top of the mountain.
Perched atop Mount Washington, Altius offers some of the most sweeping, spectacular views of the Pittsburgh skyline. If you can score reservations during sunset, you’ll be in for an even bigger treat.
Speaking of food, Altius’ menu is small compared to some, but it’s packed with flavor, offering such appetizers as chilled oysters and heron point crab toast. Or try one of the soups or salads.
Altius’ entrees feature something for everyone – filet mignon for the steak lover, salmon for the seafood connoisseur, and wild mushroom papillote for vegans and vegetarians.
Can anything top all of that decadent food and those sensational views? If you’re a fan of dessert, you’re just getting started. Try such favorites as the tiramisu or the s’mores torte.
