Sødahl-Huset

Top choice in The Northern Fjords


This place is the model of what every small-town cafe should be like. Mix-and-match furniture, regular beer tastings and gigs, and a blackboard menu chock-a-block with delicious, homemade, local-produce food, from sinful chocolate cake and kraftkar (blue cheese) burgers to more healthy options like Asian salmon salad. As the sign says, it's run by three lovely ladies, and the welcome is warm.

Something of a social hub for the town, the cafe also sells the work of local artisans: sheepskins, leather, knits, vintage clothes, jewellery and ceramics.
