Restaurant Polfareren has taken the name of Norwegian polar explorer Eivind Astrup (1871 – 1895), the young man who joined Robert Peary’s expedition to Greenland and returned home as the man who charted Melville Bay on the north-western coast of Greenland. He received the Order of St. Olav at age 21 – and a century later remains the youngest person to have received this prestigious award.
Our fresh and exciting approach draws inspiration from Astrup’s momentous achievements. Restaurant Polfareren offers an À la carte menu with creative flavors inspired by the Nordic cuisine. The kitchen composes a flavorful menu for each season, inspired by the Arctic and focusing on the season’s finest ingredients. The wines reflect the cuisine and are chosen with care and respect for the small producer.
Our chefs are happy to customize the meals according to your preferences, whether it’s vegan or vegetarian options, upon request.
You will find us in cosy surroundings at Svalbard Hotel | Polfareren. We wish you an enjoyable overall experience, whether you came to enjoy refreshments from the bar with assorted antipasti or you opt for a full evening at Restaurant Polfareren.
