Huset Restaurant

Huset Restaurant is a Nordic fine dining restaurant in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. It is the northernmost restaurant in the world. Its menu is based around local game meats and foraged ingredients, like seal, whale, and ptarmigan.

History

Huset was built in the 1950s as a community center for miners in the village. The name means "house" in Norwegian. It operated as a post office, library, church, school, gymnasium and hunting shop. It was briefly used as a hospital after an avalanche. In 2010, the building was converted into a bistro. Hurtigruten bought the restaurant in 2022 and converted it into a fine dining establishment. The company invited Spanish chef Alberto Lozano to run the restaurant.
