Our story
Our food in the restaurant is characterised by Nordic techniques and tasting combinations, with ingredients coming mainly from Svalbard and the arctic region.
Huset Restaurant is one of Longyearbyen's oldest buildings and has been central to life here for over 80 years. Today we are proud to write a new chapter in the history of this iconic building.
