Eating
Hildonen
CAFE
(Kirkegata 20; 9am-4pm Mon-Fri, to 2pm Sat)
The aroma of warm bread and sweet cakes draws you into this bakery and cafe, hugely
popular with locals and bang opposite the tourist office.
Indigo
INDIAN
( 78 95 39 99; Tollbugata 12; mains Nkr149-275; noon-10pm Tue-Sat)
It makes no such claim but surely the long-established Indigo must rank as Europe's, if not
the world's, northernmost Indian restaurant. Its related take-away adjunct is something of a
culinary UN, dishing up kebabs, burgers, pizzas and Tex-Mex as well as curries.
Oscar Mat og Vinhus
NORWEGIAN
( 78 95 25 50;
www.rica.no
; Oscarsgate 4; mains Nkr190-349; 6-10.30pm)
Oscar Mat og Vinhus, the Rica Hotel's restaurant, is the town's finest, offering a daily fish
or meat special to go with its regular cast of reliable Norwegian specialities, including
reindeer.
