3 Best Restaurants in Svalbard, Norway

Barentz Gastropub

$$
After a long day out in the snow and ice, you'll appreciate this spot's warm and relaxed atmosphere. You'll also love the hearty pub food, including delectable burgers and what might very well be Longyearbyen’s best pizza. It's also a good place to sample a hot pot with fish or seafood. No fancy clothes or attitude required—this place is all about unwinding.

Coal Miners' Bar and Grill

$$
Located in a mess hall for miners dating from 1948, you can't beat this spot's scenic surroundings or casual atmosphere. Combine top-notch pub food with a pint of locally brewed beer and board games and you have the recipe for a very relaxed evening after a day of outdoor adventures. While the restaurant might be a bit far from where you’re staying, you’ll find that the burgers are worth the walk.

Kroa

$$

While the rough-hewn beams, stone fireplaces, and wooden-barrel seating are reminscent of a trapper’s cabin, any trapper would have been green with envy at the food that’s being served at this cozy eatery in downtown Longyearbyen. You can find classic pizza and burgers on the menu of pub favorites, but also Norwegian specialties like moose and clipfish.
