The best restaurants Iles Lofoten

On the Henningsvaer Feriebrygge marina, this is the best fish restaurant in the Lofoten, with its bar and heated terrace. On the menu, fish soup: halibut, sea bass and other sea bass, sea salmon, saithe, fresh cod. In addition to the exceptional view and atmosphere, this is an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the specialities of the Lofoten Islands and the Norwegian coast more widely. One thing is certain, the choice is wide and the quality guaranteed. Refined dishes and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, as usual in the Lofoten Islands!

One of the best addresses on the island can be found south of the Lofoten in Sorvagen. Welcome to the Maren Anna, where Annette, Jean Baptiste and their team welcome you all year round with a smile. Their specialty? The Stockfish of course! We also invite you to taste the fish soup, saithe and many other specialties cooked with care and imagination. During the day, the place could be compared to a good brasserie, while the restaurant wears its evening dress and is akin to a "good table".

The former village grocery store is home to one of the Lofoten's nicest restaurants. The floor has kept its natural stone slabs and the walls are made of rough planks. On the first floor, the two rooms are decorated with a small boat suspended from the ceiling and decorated with some dried codfish. The service is provided by trendy young girls dressed in their traditional leather aprons borrowed from fishermen. The menu offers a fish soup, cod, of course, salted and dried mutton.

This inn-restaurant, located in this village in the center of Lofoten, is a great option. Air-dried cod tongues marinated with juniper berries are one of their specialties. The establishment has a panoramic view of the ocean, and you can enjoy the spectacle of the midnight sun with a glass in hand. Accommodation is available in authentic fishermen's cottages and (slightly chilly) camper van or tent pitches. A friendly place, ideal for relaxing and sampling local delights.

As they say here, the Klatrekaféen is at the same time "an English pub, a Nepalese tea house, a restaurant in the South of France and a base camp on Everest" and it's true, at the strait of a pretty alley decorated with Nepalese prayer flags, the Klatrékaféen is a bit of all that, a nice mix of genres, a warm place that offers to everyone to be a bit at home and yet so far away. The café-restaurant offers something to eat, small dishes, pastries, drinks etc... Our favourite place in Henningsvaer.

Svinøya Rorbuer's restaurant, Børsen Spiseri, offers exceptional cuisine in a charming setting full of history. In this old house built in 1828, with its crisp flooring, you can sit comfortably around one of the candle-lit wooden tables to enjoy the specialty, dried cod, or stockfish, in all its forms! Of course, the restaurant offers a choice of several dishes (based on fish, of course, but not only) made from local products and cooked with invention and originality.

A very nice address in Svolvaer. We'd recommend it as a bar, but Bacalao also offers an attractive menu at very reasonable prices (burger, salads, fish & chips, mussels & French fries, vegetarian dishes). The HQ of the local youth, the spacious bar with its subdued atmosphere and surf décor, the open fire in winter and the atmospheric playlist: the place is warm and cosy, and you soon feel right at home. In summer, Bacalao's large terrace overlooks the harbour. On weekends, bands also perform here.

A magnificent restaurant located on the harbor in a rorbu. From inside, large windows offer a breathtaking view. An ideal setting to savor local products and recipes, mainly fish, of course. The restaurant's interior is warm and inviting, decorated in traditional style with blue walls and wooden furniture. In summer, you can sit out on the outdoor terrace and enjoy a fine Norwegian evening, and perhaps even the special atmosphere of the midnight sun!

Just like at home, Rodolf and Anita open the door of their little house. The buffet is varied every day, with a wide choice of salads, fish, salmon and other carefully prepared local products. Skolestua is an old school, and the restaurant room is reminiscent of it: school chairs, wooden tables, slates, overlooking the fjord. Well equipped, this small inn is a small paradise in the heart of Lofoten. Rudolf and Anita will be happy to give you advice on the islands and will be very good guides.
