Sarfalik
Nuuk's top restaurant, on the fifth floor of Hotel Hans Egede, known for seasonal Greenlandic seafood and musk ox, with views over the fjord.
Sarfalik means polynya, an area of open water within sea ice. Located on the fifth floor of Hotel Hans Egede in the city center, it overlooks the town and the fjord, and has long ranked first among Nuuk restaurants on TripAdvisor. The menu changes with the seasons and often includes musk ox tartare, roast musk ox and scallops. It once offered an eight-course tasting menu, but has recently shifted to a lighter lunch and a dinner focused on fish and seafood. Prices are high by Nuuk standards, and booking by phone or email is recommended.
