Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant is very nice recalling a typical building of the islands. The quality of the food is in line with expectations...the stockfish is great! Scallops are the best had in Norway in pur trip. The desserts were a great surprise with a strong suggestions...for the chocolate mousse. The personnel is very kind and professional in explaining the different dishesMore

Stopped by for a beer and a snack around 4 in the afternoon. The restaurant did not open until six, but they were happy to pour me a beer. I sat on the deck with a beautiful view of the harbor. What a great spot!!

We ate here twice and were very happy both times. The fish dishes are excellent and the starters were also great. I will definitely eat here again when I return to Svolvaer.

Very good food, little bit expensive but we are in North Norway, worth while visiting, small portions on dish was cold, send back and was replaced, if you like fish it's for you.

The dining room and atmosphere of this ancient building were excellent, as were the service and food. Temperature a bit warm for us and the wine, though lovely, was very expensive by UK standards - but this is Norway and these things are common across...most places we ate. It’s a short menu emphasising the beautiful fresh local fish so maybe check online first if you’re in any doubt. Overall, our favourite meal of our 2 weeks in Norway.More

Family of three with a reservation. Located in a idilic location in a terrific building, the dining room is impressive and a huge selling point to the experience. Friendly greeting and promo seating into a largely empty dining room but they seated the existing patrons...clustered together in a corner of the upstairs. Some demanded being moved but we did not. The temperature in the dining room was very warm and what started as a nuisance turned to almost unbearable over the experience. Well intentioned and friendly the seasonal staff inexperience also showed a number of times. The menu looks great and if properly prepared likely a great experience. Maybe seasonal staff in the kitchen but the preparation also demonstrated inexperience. The food was "fine" however not what we expected given the reputation and price point of the restaurant. Sometimes being a top-rated restaurant on the internet brings complacency to relay on that reputation to bring customers through the doors while quality in experience degrades. Ours is only one experience but as a tourist with hard-earned money, once is all we can have. We hope this is a one-off and Børsen Spiseri will be a better experience for you!More

Booked a table during a hectic period. The building is really nice and cosy. Friendly and service minded staff. Food was almost five stars. We were a group of 4 friends who tried almost everything of fish on the menu. We came to Svolvær fishing...and wanted to try the local traditions of food. Please serve it traditionally with good portions. Don’t try to make it fancy ;). The dry and tasteless Prosciutto/Parma ham on top of the dry fish could easily be changed with traditional bacon ;) Will definitely come back because all in all a great experience.More

Where do I start … I was welcomed by a very friendly tall blonde guy .. and immediately the place felt like home. Very cozy ambiance and heartwarming. The same tall blonde waiter recommended me some dishes and explained in detail about the dish. I...took his recommendation and it was totally worth it ! I had the catch of the day for main course and it was simply amazing together with the starter and desert which is to die for! Amazing food and staff ! Especially to the friendly tall blonde waiter which took time and patience to recommend and explain politely the dishes ! Totally worth it.l the experience.More
