We are n an island that has 2,600 hundred people and then THIS restaurant! It’s all small plates so you get to try many things. The service is outstanding! Special shout out to Dasha, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The space has been recently renovated, and was very nice and felt casual chic. View more

Radisson Blu Polar Hotel, Spitsbergen - Restaurant Nansen

Restaurant Nansen's menu is based on the Asian fusion concept. The food is top-notch, but the atmosphere is informal, and you’re welcome to come in your snowmobile gear, straight from the wild. 

We've made our windows wide so that you'll dine with the best views of the nearby mountains—just as if you were outside!
