Svalbar

Welcome to Svalbar – the revamped gastropub in the heart of Longyearbyen. The Svalbard archipelago is the ultimate destination for unique expedition experiences. With our brand-new concept, we will take you on a journey through polar expeditions. Our menu features previous favourites combined with new gastronomic tastes.

Inspired by the heroic polar explorers

Our gastropub is more than simply a place serving great food and drink. It’s a cosy expedition pub that takes you back in time, inspired by the heroic polar explorers who ventured through the icy polar regions. The rustic interior oozes authenticity and features fascinating details from the expedition world including maps and maritime elements. The Fram expedition, with Nansen, Amundsen, and Lindstrøm, is highlighted as our greatest inspiration.

We have created a contrast between the light and dark seasons here in Svalbard, so you can feel the atmosphere from Svalbard’s unique climate regardless of when you visit us.

Where adventurers gather

Svalbar wants to be a gathering place for locals and visiting adventurers alike. No matter whether you are planning a day trip or a longer expedition, Svalbar is the perfect place for a pleasant lunch, tasty dinner and enjoyable drinking experiences in the evening.

A hint of Lindstrøm – the most famous polar chef

The menu includes previous favourites, such as the popular Svalbar burger, along with new dishes such as tapas, juicy steaks, burgers, and pasta. Naturally, we have retained our wide selection of beverages. We have also included dishes to honour the most renowned chef in polar history: Lindstrøm!

Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm was a Norwegian chef and polar explorer who took part in the three most famous Norwegian polar expeditions, including the Fram expedition. He was best known for his outstanding culinary talent and was honoured as the leading polar chef.
