Kafe Kjelen

Top choice in Nordland


On a promontory overlooking the maelstrom, this warm and wonderful little cafe is gorgeous. Run by the same family since 1955, it does a simple menu that includes local fish, pastries and real specialities worth trying, such as møsbrømetse (flatbread served with brown cheese, sugar and melted butter). We could spend a whole afternoon here just watching the waters swirl.

It also sells Arctic salt, harvested from the maelstrom's waters.
