Top choice in Lofoten


This glorious little cafe along the coast road is a treasure. A lovely wooden dining hall, terrific local cooking with an emphasis on home cooking (dishes include fish specialities and whale) and the feeling of being looked after by a family – it's a winning combination. Just look for the cars parked in a crowd in the middle of nowhere near Valberg.

The only drawback? The restaurant's future was in doubt at the time of writing so we very much hope they make it.
