Hamnøy Mat Og Vinbu
Hamnøy Mat og Vinbu is a welcoming restaurant run by three generations of the same family (the teenage boys are coopted for washing-up duties). It’s well regarded for local specialities, including whale, bacalao and cod tongues. Grandmother takes care of the traditional dishes – just try her fish cakes – while her son is the main chef. Its fish is of the freshest catch, bought daily from the harbour barely 100m away.

Maren Anna
Maren Anna is at once a pub, restaurant and café. Serving its mainstay of fish, portions are generous and hyperfresh (our coley had been hauled out of the sea by the chef herself barely two hours earlier). For a table with views over the fishing boats below and what’s claimed, tongue in cheek, to be Norway’s smallest beach, reserve ahead. The menu’s only in Norwegian but the staff readily translate.

Børsen
This Arctic Menu restaurant brims with character. A former fish house, it was called the ‘stock exchange’ after the harbour-front bench outside, where the older men of the town would ruminate endlessly over the state of the world. In its dining room, with its cracked and bowed flooring, you’ll still catch the scent of tar and cod-liver oil.

Bacalao
With its upbeat interior, Bacalao offers leafy, innovative salads (Nkr110 to Nkr130), sandwiches and some equally creative pasta dishes; the hot rekepasta (hot shrimp pasta; Nkr150) will set your taste buds tingling. It also expresses what must be about the best coffee anywhere in Norway, a country that so often settles for watery black brews.

Kjøkkenet
Kjøkennet, originally a shack for salting fish and nowadays furnished like an old-time kitchen, is a wonderfully cosy place to dine. The cuisine is just as traditional and the recommended menu choice is of course fish – try the kitchen’s signature dish, boknafisk (Nkr270), cured cod with salted fat and vegetables.

Brygga Restaurant
- Å, Norway
- Restaurants › Other
Hovering above the water, this is Å’s one decent dining choice. The menu, as is right and proper in a village with such a strong fishing tradition, is mainly of things with fins. It’s also a great little spot simply for a drink as the water sloshes below your feet.

Du Verden
This smaller, hip restaurant with its clean, open lines and contemporary artwork around the walls is a very congenial place for a relaxed dinner. The lunchtime dishes (Nkr45 to Nkr150) offer an excellent price-to-quality ratio.

Named after a shipwrecked merchant from Venice, this is a reliable choice among Røst’s few eating options.
