A
Restaurant Haldde
There’s even more quality from this excellent restaurant within Quality Hotel Vica. It relies almost entirely upon local ingredients in the preparation of choice dishes such as the Finnmark Platter of grouse, reindeer and elk, or its Flavour of Finnmark dessert of cloudberries and cowberry-blueberry sorbet within a nest of spun caramel.

Alfa-Omega
As its name suggests, this place has two parts: Omega, its contemporary café, open 11am to midnight, serves salads, sandwiches, pastas and cakes. Alfa, a pleasant, casual bar, comes into its own from 8pm. There’s also a terrace, ideal for taking a little summer sunshine, overlooking Alta’s bleak central square.

Arctico
For a shiver in summer and sense of how Nordkapp must hit the senses in winter, visit this ice bar. Owner José Milares, himself a polar adventurer, talks with passion of the shapes, bubbles and inadvertent abstract art in the pure ice that he garners freshly each season and there's an igloo for the kids to crawl in.

Qa Spiseri
Run by a young team, this welcome recent addition to Hammerfest’s limited dining options offers reliable cuisine with a great price-to-quality ratio, whether you opt for a main course or one of its lunchtime snacks (Nkr90 to Nkr110). Whichever, save a cranny for a hunk of one of its mouthwatering homemade cakes.

Asia Burger Café
Disregard the off-putting name, shun the burgers and order a dish of tasty, authentic Thai cooking in – you’ve guessed it – mainland Europe’s most northerly Thai restaurant. Accompany this with one of the 36 kinds of bottled beer on offer, including equally authentic Thai Singha beer.

Kaikanten
An appealing café that serves light meals by day, the Quayside becomes a popular evening pub serving pizzas. Nautically themed (the backdrop to the bar represents old Hammerfest’s dockside, and sail canvases billow beneath the ceiling), it has a pool table and comfy sofas into which you sink deep.

Odd’s Mat & Vinhus
Drop downstairs to one of the finest restaurants in all Norway, offering dishes such as grouse steak, fillet of hare and salmon marinated in gin. Hanks of plaited rope are festooned from ceiling and windows, and there’s plenty of attractive dark woodwork. Reservations are all but essential.

Alfred’s Kro
With Mack beer on draught, this amiable self-service café does a whole range of traditional Finnmark dishes such as pike fishcakes and – its speciality – juicy reindeer steak. A buffet plus main dish and coffee cost around Nkr150, representing outstanding value.

Indigo
It makes no such claim but surely the long-established Indigo must rank as Europe’s, if not the world’s, northernmost Indian restaurant. Its related takeaway adjunct is something of a culinary UN, dishing up kebabs, burgers, pizzas and Tex-Mex as well as curries.

Pasvik Taiga Restaurant
This highly acclaimed place presents a range of gourmet fish and game dishes prepared using local herbs and berries. There are only seven rooms so it's essential to reserve in advance - for the restaurant too since all food is freshly prepared on the day.

Amundsen
A neat little café attached to Ritz with a good selection of sandwiches, salads and cakes. It’s equally pleasant inside or, the wind willing, outdoors on the terrace flanking pedestrianised Dr Wessels gate.

Havhesten Restaurant
In the outbuildings of Kjeldsen Fish Plant this atmospheric restaurant could be an extension of the museum and, if the wind isn't whipping, you can dine on the jetty with the sea sloshing beneath you.

Corner
This café serves seafood and pizza and also has a bar with an inviting outdoor terrace overlooking the water. Enjoy crispy cod tongues, whale or, more conventionally, fried halibut.

Turistua
From atop Salen Hill, Turistua offers great views over the town and sound. The off-putting name is for a lady named Turi, though ‘turist’ buses often stop here too.

Kafé RettVest
This bustling café sits a block from the coastal streamer's dock and serves lasagne, tortellini, reindeer and omelettes. It isn't pretty, but the crowds lend it a good feel.

Påls Matopplevelser
Pål dishes up tasty baguettes (Nkr33 to Nkr50) and salads (Nkr50 to Nkr90) and does a fresh-fish daily special (Nkr100 to Nkr140), all to eat in or take away.

The aroma of warm bread and sweet cakes draws you into this bakery and café, hugely popular with locals and bang opposite the tourist office.

Redrum
Redrum, with its attractive contemporary décor, saves its energy for weekend wildness, when there’s regularly live music.

Han Steike
This steakhouse, all dark wood and grey flagstones, is the place if you’re after something red and raw.

Sandberg Bakery
Serving painfully good pastries and coffee, this town favourite will give you reason to return.

Upstairs from the Coop Supermarket, this is an unpretentious, inexpensive cafeteria.
