Han Steike (Beef House) Review

The most appealing and popular restaurant in Alta sits in the center of town, behind a relatively drab gray-painted facade that you'll imagine can withstand virtually any snowstorm. Inside you'll find a warm and cozy steakhouse that's accented with what locals refer to as "Norwegian stone" (gray flagstones) and dark wood paneling. Your waitstaff will ask you what size you prefer for your grilled beefsteak, veal, whale steak, lamb chops, spareribs, reindeer, salmon, or cod. Know in advance that the "average" appetite might go for the 150- or 200-gram size (about 5-7 oz.); a hungry diner might opt for the 300-gram size (about 10[bf[1/2 oz.); and someone who's been felling timber in the forest all day and who hasn't eaten since breakfast might conceivably gravitate toward the 400-gram portion (about 14 oz.). Anything you order comes with a choice of sauces that include mustard, horseradish, peppercorn, mushroom gravy, or hollandaise.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
