Huset
A fine dining restaurant housed in a 1951 mining community building, famous for its Arctic-ingredient tasting menu and historic wine cellar.
This building was constructed by the coal mining company in 1951 and has served as a church, school, post office, and cinema. In 2026, Snøhetta redesigned its interior. Today, it specializes in a 14-course Arctic Experience tasting menu featuring reindeer, rock ptarmigan, local seafood, and foraged plants; this is reduced to an 8-course menu during the polar night. The historic wine cellar houses over a thousand labels. Reservations must be made in advance with a credit card guarantee, and cancellation fees may apply. The 14-course menu is 3,100 NOK, and the 8-course menu is 2,150 NOK, with wine pairings extra. The restaurant is located at Vei 300, on a side road leading towards Nybyen at the edge of town, rather than in the central commercial area.
