Kroa
Kroa - Steakers Svalbard
A long-standing restaurant and bar in the town center open for lunch and dinner, serving everything from whale meat and moose burgers to late-night pizza.
Kroa claims to be the most historic and atmospheric restaurant in Longyearbyen. Located in the town center, it is just a few minutes' walk from most hotels. The interior features reindeer skin seats and rustic timber to create a hunter's cabin feel, with a large bust of Lenin standing behind the bar. Lunch is served from 11:30 to 16:00, featuring soups and sandwiches, while the à la carte menu includes smoked minke whale, klippfisk (salted cod), moose burgers, and pizzas, with the menu adjusting seasonally. Lunch is around 170 to 250 NOK, and main courses are mostly between 230 and 475 NOK. Booking in advance is recommended during peak season. Late-night pizza is served until 00:30, making it a great option for dining after late excursions.
