Egon in Tromsoe is like all other Egons in Norway. OK standard, American style menu with a bit of Italian. It is where you bring your business associates to grab a quick and _very informal_ meal and beer. This is not the place for a posh date, or to expect culinaric epiphanies. The Egon Burger is quite good, and the... More

This is a good restaurant if you wish to eat before going out on a Northern lights trip as it seems to open early and is near the pick up point. We had fish which was very tasty but the portions are big so you don't need lots of extras. The service was also very good and the ambiance is... More

Hard to find a restaurant over easter, but Egon was open. A lot of different dishes that scared me a bit, but eventually we were all happy with the food. Nice and tasty. Portion are big, so except if you're starving, don't take a starter. Have to order and pay at the bar... perso, don't like that, but that a... More

Egon is becoming a regular stop on trips to Tromsø. The prices are reasonable by Norwegian standards and the food is very good with plenty of choice available. if you are looking for something quick to eat and you are on a budget the Pizza Buffet is a good bet as you get to start right away and it is...

We stumbled across Egon on our last night and wish we had found them sooner! We were greeted warmly, and the food was delicious, we went back for lunch before our flight out the next day, we had the pizza lunch buffet, which is awesome value in Tromsø if you are on a budget. The food was well priced considering... More

This is a nice restaurant if you don't want a fancy bite to eat. It is cosy with many small chambers/corners to eat. You order at the counter and your meal is served. Friendly staff, great variety in food. Good price-quality.

This is basically a very over-priced pub food. You go up to the bar to order as in any other pub. The food is average. We ended up coming here twice due to the lack of other places that were open out of season. If you have a choice of somewhere else I don't think I'd bother.

Moderately priced (for Tromso!) and good portions. Decent range of US/tex-mex type food, and a couple of reasonable veggie options. Even one which was made vegan for us. Pizzas looked amazing.
