Arctic Menu

Northern Norway's many culinary temptations from a plentiful pantry can be experienced through traditional and new dishes in the restaurants which are members of Arctic Menu. All of them serve new and traditional dishes based on high quality ingredients from Northern Norway.

Choose between fresh delicacies from the sea, lamb with a taste of sea and herbs from along the coast, delicious berries and vegetables matured in the light of endless summer days, and game of reindeer and grouse. 

Learn to cook

If you are particularly interested in food, you may participate in preparing a gourmet meal in one of the mountain inn kitchens. You learn how to use local ingredients such as reindeer meat, grouse or salmon, and the session ends around a cosy table where you enjoy the gourmet meal which you have prepared.

Prepare your own catch

Catching your meal before eating it sharpens the appetite. In Finnmark there are excellent conditions for both deep-sea fishing and fresh water fishing. Ask your local host to help you prepare your catch, and you may enjoy a self-made gourmet meal. Why not try a king-crab safari followed by fresh crab for lunch?
