4.6 / 5.0(687 reviews)

The ambiance here is truly unique—charming, intimate, and steeped in history. You can feel it in the walls. The strong scent of dried cod hits you as you enter, which I actually found intriguing and fitting for the experience. The space felt chic yet casual and cozy, like a blend of cottage warmth and old-school steakhouse charm. The menu is short and straightforward, but full of tempting choices that made it hard to decide. We eventually settled on the Taste of Lofoten platter, fish soup, lamb rack, and the Stockfish Royal—which we came especially to try. It exceeded all expectations. The combination of butter egg, cod, and crispy cured ham was both unexpected and incredibly flavorful. The triple protein made it a filling dish, but every bite was a burst of rich, layered taste. We also had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Mariam (apologies if I’m misspelling her name), who kindly shared the history behind the stockfish and gave us some fascinating facts about the Lofoten region. Overall, we had a very special and memorable experience. If you’re nearby, I highly recommend dining here. It felt cozy and welcoming. The service is excellent and the food was tasty. This restaurant got very nice interior, they have both indoor and outdoor seating. The appetizer is nice, the fish is fresh with the foam is rather tasty, and the plating is very nice too! The fish dish is nice, and the sauce tastes really good like lobster sauce , and the potatoes are so creamy and sweet. The panna cotta is delicious ! It is very soft, creamy and smooth, and the vanilla flavor is rich and natural, most importantly it is not overly sweet, very tasty! Love it! The staff Albina is very nice and friendly, I love her lovely introductions and smiles, thank you. I had a good time. Cosy place with great atmosphere. Seats available on two levels. Dark wood timber. Limited food selection. Small serving size. Large selection of bottled wine.

Must goto place for the building and history since 1800s. Longer a little longer and enjoy the indoor decoration. Beautiful wooden beams and second floor dining with a central staircase leading up. Service was marvellous and food was great. The best fish is here and not anywhere else. The cured whale and salmon was one of its kind and the monk fish, halibut and stock fish was all cooked to perfection. Seasonal rhubarb was a delightful dessert and the bill that came was a little more than the usual meals in Lofoten but totally worth it. Explore the place outside as you can see a sauna and platform to jump into the waters. Sunset here is nice. If you are coming from the city area take about 20 min walk up the long bridge. Go explore the hotel next door where it also housed the original settlement of a grocery store.
