5 Places To Eat in Lofoten, Norway

March 6, 2022
The best place to eat in Lofoten is Polarhagen with Parsa and Lisa.

Lofoten has stunning scenery with wild mountains and sea fishing, but does it have unique places to eat in Lofoten? Yes, it sure does! I will present five places to eat in Lofoten that will not break the bank. The places to eat in Lofoten will give you a tasty meal and a Norwegian food experience. Many work and collaborate with local farms and producers to use the best of Lofoten’s local ingredients.

Eat in Lofoten, but Don’t Forget to Hike & Explore

If you are a hiker, you must do three hikes on Lofoten Island. Then, the packing list for visiting Northern Norway and things to do when visiting Lofoten Island.

1. Skrova Harbour on the Island of Skrova outside Svolvær in Lofoten

To find this charming place called Skrova Harbour, you must get on the local ferry to Skrova Island. You can take the ferry from Svolvær, please double-check the ferry table, so you know how long you will be on the island. It is an excellent trip crossing the fjord, and best of all, you will see the whole mountain ridge of Lofoten from the sea.

Daytrip to Skrova Island

If you have time, see if you can schedule a kayak tour around the pristine island. If not, eat fresh prawns and perfectly chilled wine at Skrova Harbour, where they have all the charm and character that people from the North of Norway have. Charming stay at Skrova, if you need to spend the night, will be Heimbrygga.

2. Maren Anne i Sørvågen in Lofoten

Maren Anne, in Sørvågen, is one of five places to eat in Lofoten when visiting the island for vacation. Sometimes, you must splurge; at Maren Anne, you will eat the local food with a twist. I had the tongue of cod presented much tastier than the then-traditional way, and even the locals still approve of the dish, even though it has been altered to get more people to try tasting it.

For Places to Eat in Lofoten, BOOK A TABLE IN HIGH SEASON.

At Maren Anne in Lofoten, the ambiance is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent, and the timing is perfect. You must make reservations and remember to say you want a window table. You can lockdown at the harbor and see the fish boat that caught your dinner earlier in the day. The fried cod tongue with poppy salmon roe and mango is a delight for the eye and the taste. You can always stay at the Tide Hotel if you want to drink wine for the meal and not drive afterward.

3. Polarhagen in Lofoten cloese to Leknes & Viking Museum

The best place to eat in Lofoten is Polarhagen with Parsa and Lisa. They truly gave the whole experience. They moved from Oslo to Lofoten and now grove vegetables above the Arctic Circle. If you can attend a pop-up evening at their home, you must do it! Get a profound insight into how it is to live and work above the Arctic Circle. Also, get how they use microclimate to grow vegetables to provide local restaurants with local ingredients.

Local Farmer & with Local Products from Lofoten

Parsa is maybe the most creative Pizza Curator I know. He put everything from the garden and cheese from the local cheese farm Lofoten gårdsysteri onto the pizza to make the most incredible combination of flavors. Have a garden evening above the Arctic Circle, and try the famous victory onion – Allium Victorialis from the Viking age. And eat maybe the tastiest pizza in Norway with a cold beer from Lofoten.

Skårungen for the Local Vibe

In Skårungen, they make fabulous cakes. I can highly recommend staying a night at Skårungen Camping. We did, and we loved it – Skårungen – Hotel, Cabins, and Camping.

4. The Best Burger at Aimee’s in Leknes, Lofoten

Maybe you are coming from New York, and you are thinking, why should I eat a hamburger in Lofoten when I can eat cod? Aimee’s in Leknes, are one of the best places to eat in Lofoten, if you are looking for a hamburger. They use local meat as long as it’s possible, they also use greens from Polarhagen in Lofoten and last, the cheese is from Lofoten gårdsysteri. They are using products from several different farmers, so if you want to support the local community in Lofoten, have dinner at Aimee’s. Best of all, it will not break the bank. Aimee’s was awarded for being the food ambassador of the year in Lofoten 2021.

Aimee's in Leknes is a tasty place to eat in Lofoten.

5. Hov Farm in Lofoten – Riding & Dining

Hov farm – Hov gård is a charming place for riding Icelandic horses in the Arctic landscape combined with Viking history and locations. Remember to book the horseback ride. It is very often fully booked. If you don’t get in on horseback, maybe they will have some food for you in the restaurant at the barn. I highly recommend the perfect grilled entrecöte with chimichurri influenced by the Argentinean chef. I was right back in Buenos Aires at a barn in Lofoten. How cool is it to experience the incredible world in your own country? I love it.

Camping at Hov Farm’s Pristine Beach

Hov farm has access to the white sandy beach, and it is pristine. And yes, you will go horseback riding on it. Or you will walk barefoot on it if you can control the cold in Northern Norway. Or maybe you even go to the sauna and get a dip in the ocean? How much of a Viking are you? Or if you don’t like camping, you can stay at this charming house next to the beach: Hov-Vacation Home.

LAST ADVICE ON PLACES TO EAT IN LOFOTEN

I have chosen friendly restaurants for the wallet in this blog post. Suppose you have the money to splurge on good food but not take it all out with a 5-course meal. I have recommended various places to eat in Lofoten because they are locally owned and work with local farmers and producers. If you want to contribute to the local community and taste local products, the mentioned places to eat in Lofoten are well worth your money. If you want to splurge, you should eat at Holmen Lofoten.

    Cuba nos vemos pronto 🇨🇺 The Last time we sa Cuba nos vemos pronto 🇨🇺 The Last time we saw each other was in 2023, and the first time was in 2019, right before COVID-19 and the island was closed down. I have always been fascinated by Cuba. It is a place where you become much more aware of how much you have and how lucky you are with all your things. It teaches you to be happy about simpler things, it teaches you to be present, and most of all, to go with the flow. Traveling to Cuba is different but beautiful. #cuba #visitcuba #havana #cubatravel #meaningfultravel
