Food & drink

Places to eat and drink

From harbourside kitchens to a bakery dating back to the 1800s — here are our favourites for food and drink nearby, all within a short drive of the cabin.

Maren Anna

Sørvågen

The restaurant occupies an old dock building from 1901 down by the harbour in Sørvågen — once used for fish-oil production, a herring-oil factory and storage for dried and salted fish, today a warm and cosy place to eat. Maren Anna sources most of what it serves straight from the sea outside, and the menu follows the seasons: fresh fish from Vestfjorden, meat dishes and simpler lunch fare. Cod, entrecôte and fish soup are recurring favourites, and if you have room left, the desserts — ice cream, crème brûlée or baked Alaska — are well worth trying.

The Tide – Havet Restaurant & Bar

Sørvågen

At The Tide hotel in Sørvågen you'll find Havet Restaurant & Bar, a big-city concept that stands out in this small fishing village. It has both its own kitchen and its own bar under one roof, and the place is known for fine dining in an informal atmosphere — a good choice if you want to round off the day with a drink before or after dinner.

Holmen Lofoten

Sørvågen

Holmen Lofoten is a short walk from the cabin and runs a seasonal restaurant built around what's locally available right now — coalfish, cod and halibut, seaweed, wild game and lamb, rounded out with berries and mushrooms foraged nearby. The kitchen works closely with a small handful of local suppliers, and the result is a modern take on northern Norwegian food, served in calm, understated surroundings.

Å Bakeri

Å i Lofoten

At the very southern tip of Lofoten, by the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum in Å, a bakery dating from 1878 still keeps its old stone oven running. Through the summer season, fresh bread and cinnamon buns are baked using traditional methods, and the goods sell out fast. The bakery opens at 09:00 — if you want to be sure of getting some of the fresh baking, that's when you should be there.

Trygdekassen

Sørvågen

Trygdekassen is a small summer café in Sørvågen, run out of the old social security office building. It serves coffee, home-baked cakes and simple lunch dishes in a cosy setting — a nice stop for something sweet or a light bite before the next outing.

Café Bringen

Reine

Bringen Kaffebar sits centrally in Reine, right at the foot of Reinebringen, and has become a regular stop for locals and visitors alike. It serves good coffee and home-baked cakes, but be prepared for a queue — the place is popular and often busy with tourists, especially in high season.

Restaurant Gammelbua

Reine

Gammelbua occupies a roughly 200-year-old building at Reine Rorbuer — once Reine's old general store — with an open fireplace and an atmosphere that takes you back in time. The kitchen prepares both traditional and more international dishes from local ingredients, with fresh fish and meat that vary with the season, offering an à la carte menu alongside its own three-course option. Open from February to October.

Anitas Sjømat

Sakrisøy

On the small island of Sakrisøy, at the foot of Olstind, the Gylseth family runs one of Lofoten's best-known seafood spots. Anitas Sjømat is famous above all for its fish burger, but also serves sushi, cakes and yeast baking. It's undoubtedly a tourist spot, but well worth the trip — the setting is lovely and the food is good. If you'd rather take fish home and cook it yourself, you can also buy fresh fish straight from the counter.
