Kaikanten PUB FOOD
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 78 41 04 70; www.kaikanten.no ; Sjøgata 19; 3pm-1am Sun-Thu,

3pm-3am Fri & Sat)
The Quayside is a popular pub that serves pizzas and other snacks. Nautically themed (the
backdrop to the bar represents old Hammerfest's dockside, and sail canvases billow be-
neath the ceiling), it has comfy sofas into which you sink deep.

Ellens Café CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; Strandgata 14-18; mains around Nkr80-100; 9am-5pm Mon-Wed & Fri, to

6pm Thu, 10am-3pm Sat)
Upstairs from the Coop Supermarket, this is an unpretentious, inexpensive cafeteria.

Turistua CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 94 15 46 25; Salen; mains Nkr160-225)
From atop Salen Hill, Turistua offers great views over the town and sound. The off-putting
name is for a lady named Turi, though 'turist' buses often stop here too.

Qa Spiseri CAFE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 97 07 00 10; Sjøgata 8; mains from Nkr139; 10am-midnight Sun-Fri,

11am-1am Sat)
Just off Sjøgata and run by a young team, this popular place offers reliable cuisine with a
great price-to-quality ratio. There's a choice of Norwegian, Italian and Thai dishes.

Skansen Mat og Vinstue NORWEGIAN
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 78 42 57 00; Sørøygata 15; mains Nkr190-349; 6-11pm)
A cut above most of the other restaurants in town, the Rica Hotel's Skansen Mat og Vin-
stue serves up fine local specialities such as king-crab soup or reindeer stew. Sea views are
thrown in for good measure.
