Travel for work sent me North. Much to my surprise I found an amazing restaurant where I spent nearly all my free time. Excellent food. Friendly staff with an excellent command of the English language. The only down side was that the brew master had left town for the month so I missed the craft beer.

The food here was good. Of the places we looked at in Andenes it was certainly the best. It wasn't one of the most expensive places we came across in Norway by a long way. It didn't serve whale which is a massive plus point as far as I am concerned. It seemed to be busy all day and does... More

Asked for two toppings and got it, no added cost. Ten minutes after we ordered two of us the the food and another ten minutes the last two... More

Arresten is a gem in a town which offers very little. The produce is local, nicely cooked, and good sized portions. The pricing is fair for Norway. I would certainly return if I was to find myself in Andenes again.

This is THE restaurant to go to in Andenes. The staff are truly lovely, and really willing to accommodate any special dietary requests. It's a cracking little place with a great interior, a microbrewery and a load of specialist teas for sale. We ate here 3 times, loved it. Highly recommend.

Had a great meal and delightful evening here. Very cosy, warm and welcoming ambience, lots of interesting old books, photos and artefacts. Friendly, helpful service, excellent fresh, perfectly cooked cod and halibut maincourses, delicious desserts, good beers- and after all that , a surprisingly modest bill. Not highfalutin, and none the worse for that, highly recommended if you are in... More
