VEFSN Museum
A combined ticket (Nkr30) gives entry to both branches of Mosjøen’s museum. In Sjøgata, the Jakobsensbrygga warehouse is an excellent small museum that portrays, via some particularly evocative photo blow-ups, the history of Mosjøen from the early 19th century onwards.

Lille Torget
With its pub interior (admire the gorgeous Art Nouveau maiden bearing a lamp at her heart) and a terrace giving onto the main square, this one-time bank, then clothing store, now pub has seen lots of action over the years.

The café, a churlish place with its 'no photo' and 'guests only beyond this point' notices, is one to avoid.

Café Kulturverkstedet
Run by the local heritage society, this delightful café enjoys, appropriately, one of Sjøgata’s largest and most appealing renovated buildings. There are books to leaf through and you can sip and nibble in its interconnecting art gallery.

Ellenstuen
Ellenstuen, an intimate place that preserves many of the hotel’s original fittings, offers a particularly creative menu (might roasted stag fillet and lightly smoked grouse breast in a raspberry sauce induce an appetite?).

Oksen Ferdinand
You can eat very well indeed at Oksen Ferdinand steakhouse, inside or on the terrace overlooking the street. Also a historic building, it does tasty sandwiches and snacks (Nkr90 to Nkr135), too.
