As the Arctic grows a little colder each day, we invite you to find warmth at our table. 🖤
Our restaurant manager, Daniela Metal, introduces Gruvelageret’s new autumn/winter menu. It's a celebration of elevated Arctic dining, with all the warmth and comfort we long for this season.
Our chefs have created a menu that brings together seasonal flavors and the comforting feeling of a meal made with care, inviting you to slow down and savor the moment.
Tucked away from town at the foot of Longyear Glacier, Gruvelageret is a cosy place to welcome the changing season, where food and storytelling bring us closer to the landscape around us, and to each other.

Our Trønderfæst with Ælgesæter Tramp & Trøkk was not only a jolly celebration, but also a transition from our Arctic spring/summer menu to our Arctic autumn/winter menu ✨
Who is not familiar, Trønderfæst means a celebration in the spirit of Trøndelag, the band’s home region in Norway. It is a big party with an incredibly high-energy vibes, crowd sing-alongs, and a touch of informal rural culture. But what is... Tramp & Trøkk? Think stomping feet and plenty of oomph: “tramp” is the stamping of feet, while “trøkk” brings the power and energy or... a party!
It was indeed a cheerful, inclusive evening, with a warm atmosphere that set the tone for the warmth we hope to share at Gruvelageret as the season of blue light, and then full darkness, unfolds. Through it all, the cozy, candlelit atmosphere and comforting food remain.
Thank you whole Gruvelageret team and Ælgesæter Tramp & Trøkk and to everyone who helped us welcome this change of season with such joy 💃🏻🕺🥰
The traditional food served during the fest was prepared especially for the occasion.

Have you tried our current #menu yet? There’s still a bit of time 🖤
Soon, we’ll be introducing new flavors with a hint of winter, as the slopes around us will take on a blanket of white and the sun slowly withdraws its light.
Can you spot Gruvelageret from Platåberget? 😊
Soon, the stars will lead the way to your dinner table, as we move toward #polarnights and evenings of #dining beneath the #northernlights.

A profusion of polar light, color and impressions that enriched our cuisine with new summer tunes that now are shifting towards autumn. And you can already feel it in the moments we share here with you.
Those moments unfold ...from the very making, where every detail is shaped with care and precision by our chefs, to what eventually arrives at the table.

🌿🥖Cooking is enjoyable, cooking is beautiful.
Fresh greens, warm bread and the still never-setting sun resembles the warmth of polar summer reflected in our cuisine 😊

Noen små glimt fra samtalene våre med lokale som fortsatt bor i Longyearbyen, og som selv har jobbet i gruvedriften.
For å forstå stedet vi lever i, må vi også være nysgjerrige på dem som var her før oss. Historien lever videre når generasjoner møtes, prater sammen og deler minner.
Samtalene våre om Sverdrupbyen og livet i den gamle gruvebyen var med Atle Brekken, Per Alme og Hedly (Egil Hedly Daleng). Flere historier og minner kommer etter hvert.
✨
A few behind-the-scenes snapshots as we "collect" memories from locals who still live in town and once worked in Svalbard’s mining industry.
Sverdrupbyen — the place where you find us — holds a special place in the memories of many who have made, or still make, their lives on Svalbard. Gruvelageret is part of those memories too, through the building itself and the many purposes it has served over the years.
These are just a few snapshots from our conversations with Atle Brekken, Per Alme and Hedly (Egil Hedly Daleng). More bits and pieces from their stories are coming soon.
