About
Although this restaurant is managed and staffed by employees from Bodø's best-established hotel, the Radisson SAS, it occupies a redbrick building that lies a short walk away from the hotel itself. Inside, within a cream-colored environment that's made cozier by a blazing open fireplace, you'll find touches of red, blue, and black; a well-trained staff; and a tempting combination of Norwegian and international cuisine. You might begin with a carpaccio of venison, or perhaps grilled scallops served with terrine of oxtail, or even fried scampi with a sweet-and-sour "Asian" sauce. Main courses focus on some of the freshest fish in Bodø, including codfish served with shredded beetroot; poached anglerfish in a peanut-based satay sauce; breast of duckling with an herb-based creamy risotto; or stockfish served with tarragon-flavored wine sauce and fresh root vegetables.
