The best restaurants Kiruna

Empes Gatukök is a restaurant serving grilled meats and everything in between. Here, you can choose from barbecue, hamburgers, schnitzel, onions, souvas, kebabs, chicken, sausages, but also some vegetarian dishes. This fast-food restaurant is a classic with the locals, and they'll no doubt recommend it to you if you ask where to eat. In fact, this institution has been in Kiruna for over 70 years and has a proven track record. Burgers to suit all tastes, French fries... Nothing too crazy, but convenient for a cheap meal on the go.

The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch and dinner with coffee, water and fruit also included. Reasonable prices and very good quality. In the evening, à la carte, it is more expensive but it is a refined and high quality cuisine that allows you to discover Lappish dishes, especially reindeer, the flagship product of the region. Good wine suggestions. A little piece of advice, the restaurant is even better appreciated after a good spa session, just a few meters away! In summer, the restaurant offers concerts, and its large terrace allows you to enjoy the midnight sun.

The hotel offers local cuisine with reindeer-based dishes: block, accompanied by pasta or simply in net. There are also several fish dishes. It is first and foremost a restaurant that changes fast-food and pizza in the city.

The Ice Hotel's restaurant is an excellent restaurant run by starred chef Alexander Meier. It offers a fusion cuisine inspired by local specialities. The Ice Hotel is ranked the best restaurant in Kiruna and third in Swedish Lapland by the White Guide. With the added bonus of a unique setting, this is the promise of an exceptional evening at the edge of the Arctic. The kitchen team is international, so a cosmopolitan touch is given to the local ingredients, which come from the rivers, mountains, swamps and forests of the region.

This restaurant belongs to the Ice Hotel. Located in a former school, in a restored wooden building dating from 1768, the establishment does not lack charm. Its setting, on the banks of the river Torne, in the middle of old traditional houses, as well as its rather traditional menu, make it a choice stop in Jukkasjärvi. The food here is just as good as in the restaurant in front of the hotel, but in a completely different setting. In summer and winter, the place invites you to relax and contemplate. Remember to book well in advance.

It's impossible to pass through Kiruna without stopping at Stejk. A must in the city, it is the locals' favourite food truck. You can eat the classics of fast food: burgers, fries, salads... at reasonable prices given the size of the portions. What's special about Stejk's is the choice of meat: reindeer (suovas) or moose, the traditional way of cooking! The opportunity to taste local products street food version. You can choose to order take-away, or settle down outside in the summer, and in the lavvu in the winter.
