The Funktionærmessen Restaurant at Funken Lodge is back in all its splendour and invites you to a culinary experience without compare. Enjoy international dishes and Arctic specialties along with a fine selection of beverages.
Where history meets innovation
The Funktionærmessen Restaurant is one of Longyearbyen's most historic dining establishments, having previously been the place where miners enjoyed their meals with stunning views of the city and the mountain landscape. After a full-scale renovation, the restaurant opened in 2017 in its current guise. Guests can look forward to a fabulous culinary experience characterised by exceptional service, finest produce and amazing views! The à la carte menu features a carefully curated selection of dishes inspired by international cuisine. We recommend you to try the restaurant's signature dish, king crab with slow-cooked côte de bœuf. Enjoy the unique Nordic dining concept here at Funktionærmessen where history meets innovation.
A great selection of wine and champagne
We have a wine list with over 300 different wines, and the cellar is bursting with excellent vintages, especially from Bordeaux. We have 15,000 bottles and more than 70 varieties of champagne, probably the largest selection in Norway.
Winemaker's Dinner
Several times a year we host a Winemaker's Dinner at the Funktionærmessen Restaurant, in collaboration with famous and prominent wine houses. Wine vendors present exciting wines, while the kitchen serves delicious dishes that perfectly match the wines. The Winemaker's Dinner is popular with both travellers and residents, and we recommend that you make reservations quickly to avoid missing this unique experience. For table reservations and information about the next opportunity, please speak to the reception or contact us here.
