Funken Lodge SVALBARD, NORWAY
Svalbard is known for its glaciers, midnight sun and remarkable wildlife, yet this Arctic archipelago holds another secret: it’s an unexpected destination for food-lovers. At 78 degrees north, far beyond where you might expect fine dining, you can experience some of the most inventive cuisine in Scandinavia. At the centre of it all lies Funken Lodge, a boutique hotel that combines history, luxury and some of the best restaurant experiences in the High Arctic. Perched on the hillside above Longyearbyen,
Funken Lodge was once the residence of the coal company’s upper management. Today, it’s a luxury retreat with panoramic views of the mountains and ford. With only 88 rooms, it feels intimate and personal, blending Arctic heritage with contemporary comfort. The cosy library lounge, complete with fireplace, is ideal for unwinding after a day in the wilderness. The real surprise awaits on your plate. Huset
Restaurant, a short stroll from Funken Lodge, is at the heart of Longyearbyen’s gastronomic scene. Its tasting menu is a 14-course journey through
the Arctic seasons, featuring ingredients such as Svalbard reindeer, wild mushrooms and Arctic char prepared using traditional Nordic techniques. The result is a culinary narrative that captures the essence of life at 78 degrees north. Huset is committed to sustainability,
repurposing kitchen oil into eco-friendly soap, minimising food waste and working closely with local trappers, fishers and foragers. Its impressive wine cellar, with more than 1,000 references, enhances the dining experience. Back at Funken Lodge, Funktionærmessen
Restaurant carries its own legacy. Once the dining hall of mining executives, it now serves refined dishes made with local produce, from king crab to dry-aged cote de boeuf, paired with an excellent wine list and exclusive Champagne-tastings. From the Northern Lights of the polar night to
the endless days of the midnight sun, Svalbard is a land of extremes, yet it offers dining experiences that rival those of Europe’s culinary capitals. A stay at Funken Lodge pairs Arctic adventure with unforgettable cuisine.
