Fodor's Expert Review Huset

A favorite of many locals since the 1950s, Huset once served as an airport terminal, a school, and even a hospital, so the rough exterior can't compare to the elegant interior of dimmed lights, textured wallpaper, and a polar bear skin on the wall. You can sample Nordic cuisine in two different settings: a less-formal (and much more affordable) bistro serving such modern Norwegian staples as reindeer burgers and fish soup, and a more sophisticated dining room with an innovative New Nordic nine-course tasting menu featuring game from local hunters and trappers. Expect the likes of seal tartar, reindeer steak, and a smorgasbord of cheeses and aquavits to wash it all down.
