In the village of Utskarpen, between Mo i Rana and Nesna, Elise and Marius established a culinary attraction that is drawing a steady stream of foodies. They offer a dining experience where every dish is made from ingredients fresh from the farm and pasture. They also offer accommodation – charming rooms in a countryside setting.
The Norwegian name is “Til Elise fra Marius” (To Elise from Marius). The hosts do their utmost to give you a memorably great dining experience. They take the concept “from farm to table” quite literally, choosing fresh produce from the farm, meat from pasture-raised livestock, ingredients foraged from local forests, and freshly caught seafood.

If you're heading to the beautiful Helgeland coast, you’ll find yourself in the heart of one of Norway’s most important industries. Along the shoreline of Toftsundet, you'll find the Norwegian Aquaculture Centre — right in the middle of salmon country. Here, you can experience the life of the salmon up close. The demonstration facility is easily accessible from land, located right next to the seaside cabins, an indoor historical exhibition, and the on-site restaurant. It’s a great place to stay by the sea, create lasting holiday memories, and enjoy the fresh sea air.
Rorbu cabins
Just outside Brønnøysund, on the island of Torget, lies Toft — 7 km from the town centre. Close enough for convenience, yet far enough to feel like you're truly in the coastal archipelago. When you reach Toft, you're already halfway to the famous Torghatten mountain. Many choose to stay here, not only for the scenic location of the new rorbuer right on the water’s edge, but also because it offers easy access to hiking, shoreline walks, fishing trips — and a chance to learn how modern salmon farming works.
