Why Travelers Love FANGST Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Wow. Can I give this place more than five stars? Nestled in a remote fishing town on the Lofoten Islands, FANGST surprised us. We were staying at the hotel next door, and had decided to try it out for a nice dinner to unwind and enjoy local cuisine. We did not expect such an amazing experience. The dining room opens up to the water, with floor to ceiling windows. Seated at sunset, the ambiance was romantic and relaxing. The service was top notch. Our waitresses explained each course, many of which are centered around sustainable eating and using fresh ingredients, including mushrooms picked that day. Each course was a surprise. One of my favorites though was the dessert, with different local twists on confections. I would highly recommend booking a reservation to experience! We came here based on the Michelin Guide. This place did not disappoint. The food was inventive, flavourful, and educational. The dishes combined fine dining elegance with traditional Norwegian forms of food preservation and preparation. They included ingredients and flavours that are unique to Norway and possibly the Lofoten area. Reindeer. Pickled root vegetables. Local seafood. Amazing. The ambience was sophisticated but understated and welcoming. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Lofoten. Very nice restaurant in a fantastic location! We had the three course menu with wine pairing which was delicious (the food and the wine 😉). Thanks to the passionate french manager who would also find an alternative wine if you didn‘t like the proposed.

Very disappointed with this meal. We stayed at the hotel and decided to eat here but regretted it. Food was bland and not appropriate for vegetarians, seems like they simply took the meat/fish out of the dishes and replaced with badly cooked vegetables. When we fed back during our dinner, we were told the chefs weren’t used to cater for vegetarians. Wish they would have told us when we booked and specifically asked for this. Great views but would spend my money elsewhere.

This is such an amazing spot to try authentic Norwegian cuisine and truly unique dishes. I did not stay at Hattvika Lodge this go around, but it didn’t stop me from coming for a tasting menu at FANGST. My favorite dish was very unexpected, and it was some sort of a celery bite that was beyond words. The presentation of the dishes were perfect and I can’t wait to go back.
