The best bars and cafés Norway

This two-storey brewery also offers a very wide selection of beers, and two rooms with a relaxed and subdued atmosphere, ideal for sitting down and chatting with friends or in a group. The interior mixes industrial decor, red bricks on the wall and warm colours, a pleasure for the eyes that are still looking for details. Table tennis tables are available for NOK 3 per minute, and for those who want to do something original, book and brew your own beer at the Brygglab! No doubt, this is a recommended address in the city centre.

The Lofoten Beach Bar is a convivial place where everyone can enjoy a breathtaking view of the midnight sun. Here, you can sip cold drinks, beers, wines and a variety of cocktails, accompanied by a mouth-watering burger, a generous taco, a soup of the day, a salad, a sandwich and a range of sweet treats. Vegetarian options are available throughout the season. There are also daily surfing lessons and yoga classes from Wednesday to Sunday.

Reine's not-to-be-missed bar-restaurant. Inside, traditional decor, blue walls, wooden counters and furniture. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and everyone knows each other. If you're lucky, you'll stumble across a rockin' karaoke night hosted by the village star, and maybe even some of the musical evenings so popular with locals and tourists alike, and a great opportunity to strike up a conversation with your tablemates and see Lofoten culture in a different light! In summer, it's pizza beer on the terrace!

The perfect place to take a break! The interior is not very big but it is very warm and, above all, full of good things. Sweet, salty, there's something for everyone. You can sit there all day long, have a light meal or to eat a treat accompanied by a hot or cold drink. Benches or high tables, you can meet there with friends or for work, with your nose turned towards the street and its passers-by. In the summer a terrace allows you to enjoy the sun if it is outdoors. That's a good address in Leknes!

Quite simply, a village pub. Everything and nothing happens here, and that's certainly what makes it so important to the locals and so charming to those passing through. The fact remains, however, that it serves all sorts of comforting drinks after a day full of adventures, and that some weekends are livelier than others, with a DJ! An immersion in the daily life of the locals and the town of Olderdalen, which is all the more appreciated in summer, when you can sit out on the terrace with a breathtaking view of the fjord.

This bar specializing in aquavit and aquavit-based cocktails opened in May 2021 amidst the water and sailboats! They also offer small light things to satiate the taste buds. A very bright space because it's almost all glass. It's like being outside. In summer, the terrace on the waterfront allows you to sunbathe, admire the fjord and enjoy a great homemade cocktail according to the season! Nice music, smiling and welcoming team. A place that will undoubtedly rise in the years to come!

A café as we like them: bright, with lots of wood, plants, little things to buy, comfortable seats, and above all, delicious pastries with cardamom, cinnamon or raw and vegan cakes. You can also have a quick lunch, like a sandwich or a small salad with sprouted seeds and quinoa for example. The smoothies are not the best in the world, but the rest is very correct and in a good atmosphere. And you will be surrounded by Norwegians!

A café where it is good to spend a few hours, well installed in a cosy atmosphere with a large choice of homemade pastries, each more appetizing than the other! Fruit juice, latte, espresso, hot chocolate... with, as is often the case in Norway, a choice of animal or vegetable milk. A change of scenery is guaranteed in this picturesque place where you can also find home accessories, clothes, a temporary exhibition of local artists and even a small library with books available on the first floor!

There is a warm and friendly atmosphere in this pub with red brick walls. Here, oil engineers mingle with other night owls from the city, over pizza, bottled and draught beers, cocktails and other tasty drinks. Lots of different sandwiches to go with the Norwegian tradition of matpakke, schoolboy sandwiches at lunchtime or on a hike. A place to party. In the summer, a terrace where it is good to stay a few hours, often with live music.

Lorry is not only a good traditional Norwegian restaurant, it is also a place of character, a true cultural institution. Lorry is one of the oldest restaurants in Oslo, a meeting place for artists, musicians, actors, celebrities, university professors and students. A restaurant that is worth a visit as much for its historic bric-a-brac atmosphere as for the quality of the food served as for testing the 129 types of beer available. The prices are reasonable for a Norwegian restaurant and the portions are generous.
