4.6 / 5.0(395 reviews)

The food was amazing! Just two people running it and doing a great job. The seafood is as fresh as you can get it. The menu changes daily depending on the catch of the day. Would highly recommend if you are in Henningsvær! World Class Dining! A daily curated menu with local and fresh ingredients, amazing technique and plating, this is the BEST restaurant in Lofoton and is a must visit for dinner in Henningsvaer. This is owned and run by a husband and wife both trained as Chefs with over 80 years combined experience. Simply amazing attention to detail, a welcoming and professional ambiance, and the best flavors from around Lofoton combined for a perfect dining experience experience. Amazing food and super friendly staff. The chef adjusted the main dish to meet dietary allergies (gluten and cow milk allergy) without any problems! She and her husband run the restaurant by themselves and everything is fresh and organic. I recommend it highly if you want to eat the best fish in the lofoten! We wish the chef and her husband lots of success in the next part of their adventures!

Nice staff, food average and almost same as everywhere else. Presentation strange, whale carpaccio overfilled with other flavors, sometimes weird. Fish ok but nothing special. Anyway, the village itself is stunning, it has all you need, galleries, museum, football field, many cafes and restaurants, boat and kayak tours, view points, lighthouse, bridges, nearby hikes. Very nice place to visit, between Svolvaer and Viking museum. Highly recommended, just different food joint next time

An experience with food creations that we weren’t expecting when we first entered. Each dish is fully explained. The chef lady came out and went around to each table to talk to us about the food. They have a real passion for food creations. We went with a 5-course meal with each portion perfectly sized, that had a variety of flavors. A lot of time is spent engaging with guests and it is a very calm environment. I liked everything.
