"Classic Nordic cuisine with a twist of Senja"
Deep inside the fjord, in the heart of the spectacular landscape of Senja, you’ll find our passionate tribute to the North Norwegian food culture, our restaurant, Senja by Heart. We are proud to offer a culinary experience that reflects the soul of this unique island, deeply rooted in our love for local ingredients.
Our restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s also a creative meeting place where we showcase passion and dedication to seasonal ingredients. As our wonderful guests have described on TripAdvisor, our dishes are “a flavorful odyssey through Senja’s landscape,” and that “each meal is a celebration of North Norwegian culture and food traditions.”
We work closely with local farmers, fishermen, and producers to ensure that our dishes are always made with the best ingredients that Senja has to offer.
As one of our Google reviewers so aptly puts it, our dishes are “a true taste experience that takes you on a journey through Senja’s nature and flavors.”
Our atmosphere is characterized by the tranquility of the mountains and the roaring sound of the sea surrounding us. Every detail in our intimate, Nordic-inspired venue is carefully crafted to give you a warm and welcoming experience. Whether you visit us for a romantic dinner for two or a joyous gathering with friends and family, we want to share our passion for Senja and North Norwegian food with you.
Let us treat you to an exceptional culinary journey exploring the deep flavors and authentic ingredients that Senja has to offer. Welcome to Senja by Heart, where food is made with the heart and served with love.
To guarantee availability with us we recommend table reservations. As we are a smaller restaurant, we only have the opportunity to accommodate larger groups (8 and over) with pre-order of group menu, contact us at restaurant@senjabyheart.no and we will find out!
