Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Very popular restaurant and a charming building. The fish soup and fish burger were delicious and well worth a try. While the salmon sashimi and the sushi were good, they felt overpriced considering that there wasn’t particularly anything exceptional about them. Very charming seafood restaurant and shop. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with plenty to explore in the shop while waiting. The food was excellent — especially the soup and shrimp, which had an amazing depth of flavor. Everything arrived quickly and was beautifully prepared. A wonderful stop for both a meal and a bit of browsing. Highly recommend! Great food The burgers were awesome.. fresh and juicy The whale tatami and deserts were good as well The view was amazing and the glass wall make it more amazing to dine in the view The small store had lot of great souvenirs to take A must halt place for food and view

That was an amazing experience… This is where I had the best fish soup of my life. The views are just mesmerizing, and eating while being surrounded by it… I just cant describe it. The place itself is atmospheric, not overdone, and perfectly reflects the Lofoten fish culture. The prawn sandwich was also delicious, all the ingredients were fresh and perfectly composed. I will definitely return to this place, even taking into account Norwegian food prices.

Wow! This place was incredible. We ran into this restaurant on our way back from our hotel after hiking in Reine. The pulled smoked salmon sandwich was so tasty. If salmon always tasted like that I'd have it all the time. You can tell the fish is fresh and the kitchen knows what it's doing. The restaurant itself is very quirky, with the dried fish used as decor throughout. It added to the next-to-sea ambiance. I'd highly recommend stopping by! It's even worth the drive if you aren't doing any activities nearby. It's that good.
