We will get a proper Norwegian fish cake at Dragøy, and we’ll shop a large variety of samples from the other spots that we’ll bring with us to the dining room, where we’ll get to enjoy the traditional taste of Tromsø. Such as whale, reindeer, different kinds of cured salmon, cured meats, Norwegian made cheeses that won international prizes (just sayin’) and much more. The menu may vary according to season, but some ingredients will always be on the menu. We promise that quality will never be weakened by these changes, but rather increased due to availability of fresh goods.

Nothing fancy, just pure, authentic eating!

However, if you have disabilities of any kind and want to come with us, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to arrange the tour to be accessible for everyone.** Please be at the meeting point at least 5 minutes prior to tour start.
