Huset
A community hall dating from 1951 that is now Svalbard’s best-known restaurant, serving Arctic cuisine and housing a huge wine cellar.
Huset once served the town as a cinema, post office, school and social center, and today it is a fine-dining restaurant and bar. The main dining room serves tasting menus featuring Arctic ingredients such as reindeer, Arctic char and seal meat, and it holds one of the largest private wine cellars in Northern Europe, with tens of thousands of bottles. The casual pub next door is more relaxed. Fine-dining reservations should be made in advance. It is located between the town center and Nybyen.
