Drink
Tromso Jernbanestasjon
Tromsø Railway Station
This bar established itself early as the cool place because of its complete railway thematic décor - especially since there is no train that comes to Tromsø. There are waiters in conductor uniforms and departures to places like Murmansk and Kautokeino are announced regularly through the speaker system.

Emmas Drømmekjøkken
A fantastic restaurant that has got excellent reviews in the Oslo press. A main course is around 280 kr (Feb 2022), but compared to what you get and the standard of service, it's not that much. The restaurant is housed near the Tromsø Cathedral, in the house a red storefront. Look out for their excellently matched 5-course menus. The lunch menu isn't bad either, and comparatively cheap.

Blå Rock
The best burgers in town with their infamous fried potato skins. Don't ask for a Diet Coke with it, it makes little difference.
