Restaurants in Svolvær

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
