Kitchen on the Edge of the World is the restaurant from Holmen hotel in Lofoten. The whole experience is focused on what they call "coastal foraging", meaning the menu changes constantly based on whatever the raw Arctic nature provides that exact week. One day you’re eating incredibly fresh fish caught right out of the water in front of you, and the next it’s local lamb or wild herbs picked from the nearby hills. Because it’s a premium, high-end destination, the dinner is definitely an investment (like most great meals in Norway).

Set in the old fishing village of Nusfjord, Karoline has that cosy wooden-room feeling but with a much more considered kitchen than you might expect in such a remote place. The menu leans into local seafood, northern Norwegian flavours and produce from nearby farms and fishermen. You’ll want to reserve ahead, especially if you’re planning your day around Nusfjord. Come early, wander the village, have a drink by the water and then settle in for dinner.
