Fodor's Expert Review Polfareren
$$$
Longyearbyen
Contemporary
Honoring the young and ambitious Norwegian polar explorer Eivind Astrup---the name means "Polar Explorer"---this eatery sets its sights just as high. Expect a fusion of classic French, traditional Japanese, and New Nordic cuisine in a simple, tasteful setting of walnut tables and leather benches. The ingredients are high quality and sourced from small, independent farms, meaning the menus (changing monthly) focus on seasonal ingredients and may include dishes such as whale carpaccio, ramen soup, and miso black cod.
