Aurora

At the most upscale of the recommended restaurants within the town's hotels, this is one of the best places for well-established classics. The interior evokes the Northern Lights, with a minimalist Scandinavian decor. The charming staff members serve food that celebrates the culinary traditions and raw ingredients (shellfish, reindeer, and cold-water fish) of Norway's far northern tier. The best examples of the cuisine include six different preparations of mussels, including a version with curry. For a true taste of Norway, enjoy such palate-pleasing dishes as poached salt cod with an onion-and-tomato sauté, or else pan-fried filet of reindeer with a carrot-and-celery purée spiced with a juniper berry sauce. For dessert, we opt for the delicious lime cheesecake with a coulis of berries.
