Seafood restaurants in Ålesund

  1. A

    Hummer & Kanari

    Behind the bar sit row upon row of liqueur and spirit bottles for mixers and shakers. Here at the downstairs bistro, you order at the counter. Upstairs, it’s waiter service. But both call upon the same kitchen, which turns out ample portions of pasta (Nkr110 to Nkr130) and pizza (Nkr100). To save the decision-making, simply sit back, put yourself in the cook’s capable hands and go for the best the sea can offer that day, ‘Hummer & Kanari’s selection of fish and shellfish.’ (Nkr245).

    Xl Diner

    Nothing could be further from your traditional greasy diner than this 1st-floor fish restaurant overlooking the harbour. Bacalao is the house speciality. This quintessentially Norwegian dish is offered with a variety of sauces – Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, even Louisiana, and Bacalao de Mirita Style (sic), served in a zesty lime and mildly chilli sauce. Vegetables, still firm and crunchy, are cooked to perfection. Better not to request one of the tropical display fish that eye you apprehensively from their heated aquarium.

    Sjøbua

    In a converted wharfside building, stylish Sjøbua is one of northern Norway’s finest fish restaurants, where you can choose your crustacean, wriggling and fresh, from the lobster tank.
