Five great places to eat & drink in the wild in Scandinavia

Brimi sæter

A traditional Norwegian dairy farm that’s also home to a timber-built café and restaurant (and several accommodation options) this is the place if you want to enjoy rustic local food, such as farm cheeses and home-made waffles in an idyllic mountain setting. brimi-seter.no

Fäviken Magasinet

Widely rated as one of the world’s best – and most isolated – restaurants, Magnus Nilsson’s Fäviken is housed in an 18th-century barn on a large hunting estate around half way up Sweden, near the Norwegian border. It can only seat 24 each night and opens seasonally but guests can stay in basic rooms on site. The food makes the most of farmed, hunted or foraged local produce in dishes such as wild trout roe in dried pig’s blood crust, and diced raw moose heart with moose marrow, grey pea flowers, toasts and herb salt. favikenmagasinet.se

Restaurant Kadeau

In a quiet location, on Bornholm island’s west coast, this elegant Danish restaurant serves dishes rich with local ingredients, from foraged herbs and berries to fish prepared using traditional techniques of smoking and pickling. The owners also run a summer bistro on Bornholm and both a version of Kadeau and Pony in Copenhagen. kadeau.dk

Canvas Hotel

A unique camp, far from any road and surrounded by granite outcrops and birch forest, this is a cluster of 10 stylish yurts, a sauna, a shower and a larger yurt for meals. Pricing is all-inclusive and experiences are tailor-made for guests. It’s set on the edge of a lake and in an area full of biking and walking trails, but the food is integral to a stay here; the camp chef makes post-adventure feasts that range from fresh lobster to moose steak, all on a table-top raclette grill. canvashotel.no
