My favorite places in Tromsø to grab a coffee or dinner!
In beautiful surroundings at Skansen, the cosy cafe Bårstua is idylically located in one of Tromsøs oldest buildings. The unique location and long history of Skansen provide a very good setting for a pleasant cup of coffee or a meal.

Presis Tapas, established in 2004, is the first Tapas Restaurant in Tromsø. The menu ranges from local, high quality dishes, to mediterranian specialities. It is my favorite place in the city to have a night out with great food and good wine, and at Presis it is summer all year round!

While in Tromsø you have to try the now famous "Full Fetling" at Huken Pub. It is the best late night food in town and while small, the interior is so cool and rustic.
