The best restaurants Greenland

Timetable

Food stores are generally open weekdays from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday and close earlier on weekends. Village schedules are often poorly respected and when there is only one store, it is usually open every day, even on Sundays. However, don’t worry, it is always possible to make yourself understood and ask to open up if necessary. We won't let you starve to death!

Restaurants, on the other hand, are generally open daily during the high season, then at varying times in winter. Find out more..

Budget & Tips

Prices are not the same in the Greenland regions. Food is much more expensive in the east and north of the country where the food supply is scarcer. A standard meal in a restaurant easily exceeds DKK 150, so the supermarket is a good solution to balance your budget.

While Greenland is self-sufficient in fish and some meat products, everything else must be imported by ship and this of course has an impact on prices. Compared to Scandinavia, prices are about 10 percent higher (especially for alcohol, tobacco, fruit and vegetables). Here are some ideas for pricing various consumer products to give you a quick overview: 1 bottle of water, 3 euros, 1 beer, 4.30 euros, 1 litre of milk, 1.50 euros, 1 pack of pacircum; 2.19 euros, 1 pizza, 1 rice package, 1 biscuit package, 1 cigarette package, 10 euros. Blue cards are accepted throughout the country. And you will find distributors in most cities.

What costs extra

Service and taxes are included in the prices with water or even bread. It is therefore neither customary nor necessary to tip. To your good heart!

The local way

You will sometimes be surprised by the menus with dishes based on seals, whales or musical eggs: be an adventurer in the same area! You can be pleasantly surprised by the local cuisine. The berries are delicious. The rules of property are the same as ours. Avoid unpleasant remarks about seals or whales: Greenlanders have been eating them for generations. For the most recent, can you say that it is a bit like “cow” ” local”?

Smokers

Smoking is not allowed in restaurants.
