Restaurant Sami Siida Alta — Restaurant in Alta

We loved our experience at Sami Siida with Jack and Espen! So much detail and thought goes into the reindeer sledding. The experience is much more intimate than you’ll find at some of the larger places in Norway. They made a cozy bonfire for us after the sled ride which allowed some more time for us to learn about the Sami culture and pet the reindeer. They made the most delicious cooked reindeer over fire that was the best we had during our three weeks in Norway! Loved the intimate and personal connection Sami Siida gives their guests! Be sure to stop in the museum too! They have so many different traditional Sami outfits and pieces that tell an interesting story. Save room for dinner too, because their onsite restaurant is fantastic! It’s open Sunday too! The reindeer meatballs and reindeer schnitzel were...

Wery friendly and service minded staff.

To the best of my knowledge, this is real authentic food made by sami people, and they do make really delicious food. I recommend the finnbiff, (cant go wrong with reindeer meat in a thick gravy with mashed potatoes and trimmings!) Or the stězan.

If i could add more stars to my review i would. This is definitely something you should try if you go to Alta.

They also have a "bar/pub", but i havent been there yet. But if they keep the same service and friendly attitude, my guess is this is also an experience to remember!

You could also pay to meet and feed reindeer. 👍 (Reindeer walk in a pen close to the sami siida)

I recommend to get a reservation as they have lots of people wanting to eat at theyre fine...

Outstanding experience at Sami Siida! My wife and I arrived at Alta via cruise ship and took a 10-minute taxi cab ride to visit Sami Siida. And what an amazing experience we had there over the next couple of hours! In addition to the wonderful restaurant that serves many local Sami reindeer and other dishes, a representative Sami village and reindeer herd can be also be toured. Here, you can learn about the history and way of life of the local Sami clan, get to mingle with and hand-feed the reindeer, and even get to ride a raindeer-pulled Sami sledge! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from this amazing tour; one of our greatest experiences ever! If you visit Alta, this tour and dining in the amazing restaurant...
