    Passed by randomly and forgot about my list .. i just wanted a fish soup .. and so far it was amazing i was even thinking about going congratulating the chef !! Super tasty with some nice well cooked pieces of fish of the day ! I was even thinking to order more and finally it was more than enough for a light dinner !! And the place a super view on the sea and the cathedral (all the tables :) )

    I ordered cheese cake and cappuccino. The cheese cake was so delicious and rich with flavor. The cappuccino was exactly beautiful like the Italian cappuccino. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely. The staff was super friendly. I liked the whole experience. The prices are good. Definitely recommended.

    Fish of the day and fish soup was okay as well, but nothing spectacular. The menu is pretty short and doesn’t have a lot of options. One vegan option in the menu which was okay

    What a wonderful experience, the whale steak was so flavorful and extremely tender it’s hard to describe and it wasn’t even my first time having whale meat!! Location is great also, you can enjoy your delicious meal with the beautiful view of the fjord on the background! Awesome restaurant to visit.

    The food was excellent and I actually came back for dinner the next day. Reindeer steak was my favourite dish. Medium rare and extremely soft and full of flavour. The fish soup and cod roe were great as well. Great modern and relaxed atmosphere with a lovely view over the harbour and an aquarium inside. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I'll be back on my next visit!

    We visited last month with our little emotional terrorist and some family friends. The food was tasty, the indoor aquarium was unusual and very entertaining. But the best part was the service during and after the visit! I'm the midst of tending to the baby my husband left his Samsung watch behind. And the following morning we flew back to England... But after contacting them about it the team very kindly mailed the watch back to us. This was an incredibly nice gesture on their part. 10/10 would recommend!

    Service here is one of the better in Tromsø. Mussels were delicious, minke whale steak and fish of the day as well. Lactose-free modifications available. The main criticism is on the burger meat. It really needs some work for the price tag. It was definitely not good quality, it was a very cheap experience. Tasted like a burger from a cheap fast-food place. The amount of potatoes without paying 65NOK for extra is a bit lackluster. If you fix the burger and add more potatoes with expensive dishes, you will have a five star place! I give the restaurant 4 stars hence the low quality burger, because the majority of the dishes and the service has been great.

    Nice restaurant with good food. Relaxed atmosphere. Large portions, to my opinion their quality is good enough to have smaller portions, i.e. the fish soup as starter is almost a complete lunch.

  • 4/5 Elly A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food: Taste good on selected foods in the menu Price: Average price (but some are not worthy to the taste of the food) Recommend for a atmosphere with harbour views with camera on 👍

  • 5/5 Elaine S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and beautifully presented with a detailed description from the waitress. The service was excellent and friendly but not intrusive. Amazing views of the fjord and the mountains. I would definitely recommend this place. We both had fish the Dampet Boknafisk and the fish of the day which was catfish. The dessert, Sjokolade of Vaniljekrem was just yummy.

  • 4/5 Andreas S. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall a bit of an average experience. We had reindeer steak and sausage in red wine sauce. Good but also very pricey for what you get. Meat was good but a tiny bit on the cold side. Menu had very few options only. Nothing wrong overall but would likely not go again.

    Very nice place to visit. Food super tasty :) Definitely recommend to visit for Fish and chips!

    The salmon fish was incredible. Perfectly cooked and the sauce that was accompanying it was delicious and refined. The overall quality of the products are stunning. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Delicious food. Prices are as usually in Norway - too high.

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 2 years ago on Google
    The place looks great from outside and inside with a nice view of the haven. I had the reindeer stew with mashed potatoes and flatbread as I wanted to eat something local. Yummy and nice presented. Hood fresh food. The staff was nice and gave some advice about whale watching.

    What a lovely place! We had the Angusburger and the Fish & Chips for lunch. Well, one of the best burgers and one of the best fish and chips ever. Lovely staff, nice location and really good food. I don’t understand bad ratings for this restaurant.

    Great view of the port and surrounding mountains. Had the reindeer burger and it was better than I thought it would be. The fried potatoes were AMAZING!!

  • 5/5 Han 5 months ago on Google
    Ordered the reindeer burger. It was my first time trying reindeer meat, it was more dense and rubbery than expected, but very flavorful. The portion was very large, I was unable to finish it. The potatoes and aioli was amazing, the potatoes were soft yet crispy and the aioli and a subtle hint of garlic that makes your crave more!

    I really enjoy my dinner from there, food and dessert taste very nice I love it. Staff does speak English so I would recommend to try out food from this restaurant yourself if you visiting Tromso.

👍 Had an amazing fish soup as an appetizer and fish and chips for main! The soup was really good, I am definitely taking that fish soup as my main course when I visit next time! They had a lot of steak options too, but I was definitely in for the best cod you can get part of Norway!

😐 Average pizza, very dry on the edges. Calzones had way too much cheese and not much flavour. The coke tasted like it’s been watered down. The place is spacious and don’t need to reserve in advance. Needed to wait nearly an hour for a pizza and a calzone, though the place was not even half full. It s...

👍👍 We had a booking for Saturday evening, and I'm glad we did as it was very busy. We got 2 starters, 2 mains, 1 dessert and 2 cocktails for 1630NOK (£130). Everything was delicious, but the reindeer stake was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So much flavour! The restaurant is very cosy and the...
