Not a bad alternative if you lower your expectations and ignore the prices. Meat mains always safe, also toasties, salads and soups. And seafood. Don't bother with the burger. I come here for the backyard, and to sit by the window and watch people trot on the cobblestones.

The hottest Hotel in town is also the best coffee bar in North Western Norway. Access Green Garden through their lobby, or take the back entrance through the top floor in the adjacent Shopping Centre. They often have Scandinavia's favourite cake on the menu: Success Tart, ask if they have it or request if they can bake it while you are in town. It's the one with yellow buttery cream on top of an almond base! Green Garden should be excellent for lunch too.
