Lotus

Lotus is a Japanese-Chinese restaurant sitting right on the waterfront in Tromsø, tucked between two major hotels on Sjøgata. You get dim sum and Asian flavors with a front-row view of the iconic Arctic Cathedral across the water — a pretty rare combo for northern Norway. Cozy and unpretentious, it's open late into the evening, making it a solid pick when you want something different from the usual Norwegian fare.
