Børsen Spiseri - Stockfish Specialist

Lofoten life revolves around the sea. Tourism is second only to fishing, which dominates daily life here. This centuries-old way of life is reflected in the cuisine, and one restaurant that truly epitomises offerings from the sea balanced with local food from the land is Børsen Spiseri.

The Taste of Lofoten is a great introduction and features local cheese and meats as well as fish, roe, and smoked whale. The signature dish is the Tørrfisk Royal, or Stockfish Royale, which is locally produced cod, preserved and cooked using traditional methods, served with carrot stew, egg butter and bacon.

Børsen Spiseri is housed in the oldest store in Svolvær, dating back to 1828, which has been restored and preserved to create a warm and authentic atmosphere for diners. Eating traditional food served with a modern style whilst choosing from an extensive wine menu and enjoying the calm ambience all fuses together to make Børsen Spiseri an idyllic dining room in all seasons.
