Peppermølle
Storgata 54
About
Satisfying to both eye and palate, this is one of Tromsø's genuinely warm and appealing restaurants. "The Peppermill" is set one floor above the street level of a modern building along the town's main shopping thoroughfare. There are a total of three separate dining rooms, including the "green room" and "the middle room." But we prefer the "Amundsen Room," which is lined with photos of Norway's polar explorers, many of whom used Tromsø as their base of operations before heading to points much farther north. Menu items are savory and well prepared, including a tartare of smoked salmon; broiled tenderloin with a tarragon-flavored mustard sauce; tenderloins stuffed with crayfish and served with crayfish sauce; and filet of monkfish fried with mushrooms, shrimp, and crème fraîche.
