Børsen Spiseri — Restaurant in Vågan

Unexpectedly great food. The initial pictures on Google Maps don't do it justice. We went for the 7 course meal and really enjoyed each dish. The reindeer tartare was a real hit (even if we don't typically eat tartare), and the fish of the day (anglerfish) was excellent. The pea soup was very good, but didn't really have much of a taste (mostly a lot of cream), and the stockfish was fine, but not great. Mostly I think the oil was a bit over-used, and the batter was quite thick and nothing special (a tempura like batter might have gone better and highlighted the fish more). There also wasn't enough of the mayonnaise-like sauce, so you ended up mostly tasting the dough batter. In general they went a bit overboard on the dill (3 of 6 savory dishes had it), but on the other hand the pickled vegetables really added a welcome brightness to the dishes. The wine pairing was also very good, with a surprisingly good Cava and Spanish Txakoli white wine. The Beaujolais was a bit underwhelming, and didn't quite balance with the other stronger flavours (the fish of the day was served with a powerful balsamic reduction), but also not bad. Wait staff were very friendly. I'd rate it at a level of a...

We had dinner at this place and got a table inside. The restaurant seems to be an historic building with low ceiling, visible beams and uneven floor - very charming in my opinion. We decided to just share a starter and did the Taste of Lofoten and got a lovely cured piece of whale, stockfish brandade and a great smoked arctic char. There was also some lovely fresh bread on the table that were awesome! When we got the mains served, the waitress had mixed up our order so she had to take the food back. The result was that my risotto with marinated stockfish were kept while they were making the right dish for my wife. Due to this the risotto was a bit lukewarm and overdone by the time I got it - but it did taste very good. My wife had the whale steak and that was prepared right and were tender and tasty. I ended the meal with a pannacotta with cloudberries that were also great - the pannacotta had the right consistency and it was great to have the berries on top to give a link to the area. All in all, one of the best meals in Lofoten. Menu is quite limited and it would be great to see more fresh fish on the menu. Remember to book in advance as this is a...
