The best restaurants Tromsø

Located in front of the harbour, the place is divided into several parts, if on the ground floor there is a café serving simple but good food for an average of NOK 115, on the first floor, only in the evening, there is a fish restaurant, Arctandria, with whale and seal steak specialties, but also other more common dishes. After Christmas, the locals come to enjoy Mølja, literally "mixture". It is cooked after returning from cod fishing, with carrots and potatoes. In the same place, right next door, there is a nice cocktail bar.

Just behind the Polar Museet, in Tromsø's historic district, café Bårstua has taken over an old wooden shack. People come to enjoy the local cuisine, but not only! All proceeds go to a charity working to combat addiction. You can also curl up on the sofa by the fireplace with a hot coffee and homemade cake, or soak up the sunshine on the pretty terrace. In summer, the place becomes a party venue, with concerts and lazy afternoons in the sun!

Manuela and Ricardo come to us from Italy, as do their delicious products! In this warm and inviting wine bar, you can choose between the cosy banquette, the little lounge on the platform, or the high tables, before ordering a good wine, whether Chilean, French or Italian... For an aperitif, we recommend the Fjøls, cheese and charcuterie boards to be enjoyed without moderation. All kinds of Italian-style boards are served in a subdued atmosphere, in a decor that's both chic and relaxed.

The setting is charming in this restaurant which proposes a refined and inventive cuisine with local colours. The plates are a pleasure to the eye and to the taste buds! The wooden tables and chairs, the striped curtains and the paintings on the walls make us want to stay for a long time in this warm and almost home-like atmosphere. They serve you in cast iron dishes, pots and other incongruous containers. A recommended intimate address. And on the mildest and sunniest evenings, the Flamingo's tree-lined terrace awaits you right next door!

Run by two young figures from Tromsø, the Bardus bistro, adjacent to the Bardus bar, will introduce you to local specialities in an inventive way. Here, the atmosphere is bistronomic on the plate and relaxed at the table. The products are fresh, local and seasonal and the cuisine is influenced by southern Europe, which we assume is France. In a wooded setting, we are happy to settle down for a meal that will hang out. In the summer, if the sun is shining, we settle down on the veranda terrace to enjoy a bit of sweetness.

A cafeteria in a «people's house» where cheap Norwegian popular cuisine is served. In entry, a soup of fish, then kjøttkaker or fish gratiné.

Close to the bridge, the large wooden building is surrounded by palm trees in Tromsø. In the small parts that make up this "student house", we eat pizzas in a friendly atmosphere.

Want a good Burgr without pretension? This is the place. In this tiny restaurant, three large high tables, a terrace, and Mario. The hero of our favorite game seems to have been elected mascot of the place. The Beatles in the loudspeakers and on the walls, the famous Pac Man, Sonic or Zelda posters... But before we make burgers there, you should know that between these walls, at the time when Tromsø had only 80 inhabitants, was built the first bistro of the city. Where fishermen used to come to trade a fish for a glass or two of wine.
