There is some truth to it, but the area around Harstad is lush, green and with agricultural traditions going back thousands of years. This is your guide to fine dining, to great coffee breaks, to simple lunches and browsing through farm shops for tasty souvenirs. We start in the city of Harstad, and move north to the islands and then west to the lush meadows of Kv\u00e6fjord. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8135.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8135-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"The food is presented in the barn where most meals are served these days.

I asked them, \u201cwhat do international travelers buy?\u201d And naturally, one looks for the exotic animals in the north; elk (moose) and reindeer, salted or smoked, in small packages are excellent gifts and souvenirs. They also have great cured sausages. Even internationally contentious whale meat, smoked, dried, and best served in thin slices, attracts a lot of attention. The bright orange molte \u2013 cloudberry \u2013 makes excellent jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-international-travelers-look-for\">What SHOULD international travelers look for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, that\u2019s a different thing, \u201cSkafferiet\u201d claims. There is so much more&#8221;. On Gryt\u00f8ya island, the big goose population must be culled in early summer. This means goose meat can be marinated and dried into delicious morsels. Salted, dry cod from Kv\u00e6fjord can be made into Mediterranean fish specialties like \u201cbacalao a la vizca\u00edna\u201d and \u201cbrandade\u201d. Pesto made from Northern Norwegian victory onion \u2013 the garlic of the Vikings &#8211; is another specialty. Use it for your pasta or mix it with mayonnaise or butter as a condiment. Northern spices include lovage \u2013 traditionally linked with summer romance &#8211; and angelica. More surprising are birch leaf and spruce sprouts. Jams and jellies from the area are made from cloudberry, rhubarb, and blueberry. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8074.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8074-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"In early September, the veg takes centre stage.

This modern and stylish, yet welcoming, place overlooks the fjord in Harstad. Reindeer from Refsnes and cured sausage from Ottestad feature on their much-loved tapas menu. \u201cToday\u2019s fish\u201d, whether it&#8217;s cod, saithe, redfish, or halibut, is delivered by local fishermen. The meat mains are usually sourced from Ottestad in Kv\u00e6fjord. Local vegetables are primarily available late in the summer season, with carrots coming in full force in September. Strawberries, on the other hand, make their appearance on the menu in late July, closely followed by raspberries and currants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Umami captures the season in every bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The young chefs at <a href=\"https:\/\/umamiharstad.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Umami <\/a>\u2013 occasionally cited as the reason to go to Harstad \u2013 follow the mood of the seasons. In the carefree days of early summer, they barbecue light veal, sprinkle it with the love herb lovage, and transform tender rhubarb sprigs into sour-sweet dessert magic. To complement these dishes, the wines are light and summery. After a few weeks of rest in July, their reopening is characterized by the abundance of late summer and autumn. Locals bring their mushroom baskets and allow the Umami staff to pick black and red currants in private gardens, one garden after another. Vegetables and homemade butter are sourced from the staff\u2019s families. Their own potatoes are harvested in September, and then fresh game and mutton come into season. Heartier fare calls for more robust wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gourmet-food-at-Umami-Benjamin-A.-Ward-VisitNorway.com-kopi-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1704\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Gourmet-food-at-Umami-Benjamin-A.-Ward-VisitNorway.com-kopi-2048x1363.jpg\" alt=\"Restaurant Umami in Harstad.

Kristian Kulseng, the 10th generation to inhabit the farm, invites guests to his stylish yet homely barn restaurant. He grows his own herbs, smokes his own salmon and reindeer, dries his own fish for stockfish and &#8216;boknafesk&#8217; (half-dried cod), and picks mushrooms and berries from the forest surrounding the farm. Long-standing connections provide him with greens from the vegetable gardens of Elde and Hundstad. Fishermen at Stornes deliver fresh fish, and from the M\u00f8kland farm, there is tasty mutton. In the summer, strawberry farmers on Gryt\u00f8ya Island provide midnight sun-ripened strawberries. As befitting an estate farm like R\u00f8kenes, the local produce is prepared with a touch of finesse from the French kitchen, just as landed proprietors would prefer it back in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-3\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/16b5494fb8a6a2d0224b3a31088d768d.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x797\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/16b5494fb8a6a2d0224b3a31088d768d.jpg\" alt=\"The main building from 1750 \u00a9 R\u00f8kenes g\u00e5rd\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/16b5494fb8a6a2d0224b3a31088d768d.jpg\" data-caption=\"The main building from 1750 \u00a9 R\u00f8kenes g\u00e5rd\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8176.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022_NNReiseliv_Harstadmat-8176-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"In the lounge of the R\u00f8kenes farm dating from 1750.

Or just have another cup of coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2a5b537ec7c66c16e5ffd5eb9c16380b.jpg\" data-size=\"1181x1155\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2a5b537ec7c66c16e5ffd5eb9c16380b.jpg\" alt=\"Kv\u00e6fjordkake in an elegant setting \u00a9 Destination Harstad\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2a5b537ec7c66c16e5ffd5eb9c16380b.jpg\" data-caption=\"Kv\u00e6fjordkake in an elegant setting \u00a9 Destination Harstad\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Refsnes-Matglede-AS-00188.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Refsnes-Matglede-AS-00188-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"You certainly have to taste the Kv\u00e6fjord cake when in Kv\u00e6fjord \u00a9 Refsnes Matglede\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Refsnes-Matglede-AS-00188.jpg\" data-caption=\"You certainly have to taste the Kv\u00e6fjord cake when in Kv\u00e6fjord \u00a9 Refsnes Matglede\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tinghuset.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tinghuset-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Old Norwegian Sheep at Nordsand g\u00e5rd (farm)\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Tinghuset.jpg\" data-caption=\"Old Norwegian Sheep at Nordsand g\u00e5rd (farm)\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nordsand-ga\u030ard-villsauskinn-og-uteservering-marita-eilertsen.jpg\" data-size=\"2400x1600\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/nordsand-ga\u030ard-villsauskinn-og-uteservering-marita-eilertsen-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Coffee and cinnamon buns at the farm Nordsand g\u00e5rd at Sands\u00f8y island near Harstad.

The <em>Kv\u00e6fjord Cake<\/em> has been voted Norway\u2019s national cake and is tremendously popular everywhere in Norway. However, the grandmother of today\u2019s farmer at Ottestad farmstead ran a fine p\u00e2tisserie in Harstad just before the war with her sister. Here, by adapting a Danish recipe, she developed Kv\u00e6fjordkaka &#8211;  the \u201cKv\u00e6fjord cake\u201d. It consists of layers of meringue infused with almonds and vanilla, with whipped vanilla or rum cream in between. Deliciously crusty and sinfully creamy, this cake has it all. Eat it in its authentic state in homely places, or go for the refined variety at upscale places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-could-the-vikings-conquer-the-world-they-had-the-best-sheep\">How could the Vikings conquer the world? They had the best sheep!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>sp\u00e6lsau <\/em>\u2013 or Norwegian Short Tail Landrace \u2013 is the sheep of the Vikings. Unique among breeds, it produces two kinds of wool, one light and fluffy, the other coarse and solid. On Viking ship sails, the warp was made from the coarse wool, while the fabric itself was made from the finer wool. This made the sails strong and water resistant, a key factor for sea marauders. These sails were used not only by the Vikings, who were present for around 200 years, but also by fishermen and traders over a much longer period.

No commercial sodas; try their homemade mint lemonade instead. Enjoy Lofoten-roasted coffee with Kv\u00e6fjord cake or one of their three fresh cakes. Locals often frequent the caf\u00e9, known for its welcoming atmosphere. Take home edible souvenirs from their delicatessen, like Austerfjord blueberry jam, cloudberry jelly, elk ham, reindeer salami, and juniper berry jelly.
