At the far edge of the ocean, on the island of Myken, you’ll find Fiskebruket — a restaurant where dinner is built around ingredients from the sea, local wildlife, and nearby farms. Chefs Stian Floer and Tuva Sætnøe are ready to serve you a memorable meal inspired by their surroundings.

Myken is a remote fishing village in Rødøy, located 32 kilometres from the mainland. It offers sweeping views of the Helgeland coast, a unique whisky distillery, the chance to head out on a fishing trip — or simply enjoy the peace and quiet, with the sound of the ocean, seabirds and coastal life in the background.

To please your palate

Fiskebruket makes the most of what the coast has to offer. With the sea just outside the door, seafood is naturally at the heart of the menu. But you’ll also find flavours drawn from the island itself, nearby farms, and across Norway.

Dinner is served daily at 7 PM, featuring a set four-course menu that changes with the season and what’s available.

You travel to Myken by speedboat.

In the summer, the Nordland Express, which runs between Bodø and Sandnessjøen, passes Myken.

In addition to the summer route, there are daily departures all year round from Tonnes. If you come from the north, you can take a boat to Rødøya and travel on from there to Myken.

The weather in Helgeland can vary a lot, and in summer, temperatures can range from 10 to 25°C. Rain often comes and goes in short bursts, known locally as ærlinger — or “showers,” as they’re called further south. We recommend packing both a rain jacket and swimwear, hiking boots and sandals — so you’re ready for just about anything.

Thank you for respecting the local communities, and for helping us preserve the natural beauty of Helgeland!

Please:

  • Strive to leave no trace of your visit. Bring back all your rubbish, including used toilet paper, and discard it in the nearest rubbish bin.

  • Respect the local wildlife. Keep a good distance from wildlife, livestock and birds. Keep your dog leashed.
  • Respect private property. Keep a respectful distance from houses and cabins.
  • Show good boating sense. Keep a good distance from shore and drive at a low speed, especially when you are close to anyone or anything on the water, including birds or animals.

  • Follow the Norwegian Mountain Code (Fjellvettreglene). Plan your excursion according to the weather forecast, your skills and experience.
  • Join a guided excursion or consider hiring an experienced guide, especially when you don’t have sufficient experience or knowledge to guarantee a safe trip.

Welcome to Myken

When you step off the boat at Myken, you feel your pulse calming down. Further out to sea, it’s hardly possible to reach Helgeland. But 32 kilometers from the mainland, north of the Arctic Circle, there is a small community on a tiny island, where a handful of enthusiasts keep the lights on in the houses and the doors open.
