As its name suggests, this place has two parts: Omega, its contemporary cafe,
open 11am to midnight, serves salads, sandwiches, pastas and cakes. Sink your teeth into
its hugely popular Ole Mattis reindeer steak sandwich. Alfa, a pleasant, casual bar, comes
into its own from 8pm. There's also a terrace, ideal for taking a little summer sunshine,
overlooking Alta's bleak central square.
