Flawless experience

We walked to the restaurant from the church, it was a half hour walk in the cold darkness, looking at the beautiful mountains, quirky buildings, and always looking over our shoulders for potential polar bears. When we arrived, we already had a good time. The...More

Careful if you are dining here during the low season

We dined at Huset on a Friday evening in the beginning of November, and were the only guests the whole evening. Nobody was around to greet us when we arrived, we were standing around awkwardly for couple of minutes before we got seated at our...More

Saturday beef and piratecopies of design icons

We tried the Saturday beef with vegetables and gratinated potatoes and French fries. It was good. This is the casual restaurant at Huset. I have previously tried the 3-7 course restaurant next door which was at a different level/better (but also the price was higher)....More

Words cannot describe our experience.

We decided to give Huset a chance, despite reading the negative reviews here on TripAdvisor. The reviewes were not wrong. We were seated in the Bistro-area and ordered a three-course menu for 445NOK per person. We had artichoke soup as a starter, entrecôte and burger...More

Huset Longyearbyen Dinner

A unique restaurant in a historic building. The menu in the Bistro was reflecting its arctic location with local food such as reindeer meat, wild goose and whale. The wine list was very exclusive too. We noticed the quick service and competent staff.

I made a reservation the night before requesting a pescatarian adjustment and the meal was absolutely amazing. I have to admit the midnight sun disoriented me as much as having a San Francisco (where I live) level of culinary experience in Svalbard. Live and learn....More
