Dinner in the Dark gives you a unique opportunity to experience food (a three-course dinner) in an entirely new way. When you can’t see what you’re eating, your other senses sharpen – and every bite becomes a journey of discovery.

Everything you need to know

Meet in the bar on the second floor at Scandic Syv Søstre – we’ll start with a welcome and introduction before you are guided into the darkness.
Allergies – Please inform us of any allergens when booking – we will of course tailor the menu to your needs.
Wine or drink package – Want something extra good in your glass for the meal? Let us know when you book! A social, exciting, and memorable concept – perfect for groups of friends, colleagues, or as a unique date experience!

Must be booked one week in advance, and is not available on Sundays.

Welcome to Sandnessjøen

The town of Sandnessjøen is situated roughly at the geographic centre of the magnificent Helgeland coast. It sits midway between mighty mountains and beautiful islands. Here you are near the Seven Sisters mountain range, the kayaking paradise of Herøy, the recreated Viking chieftain seat Sandnes, the museum that celebrates the 17th-century poet-priest Petter Dass, and the island of Dønna which is wonderful to explore on two wheels.
