Where to eat in Ilulissat

Ilulissat offers several options within the culinary world. If you’re looking to satisfy a light hunger, there are small cafes scattered around the town that can offer you a light meal in cozy surroundings. If you’re seeking something a bit more substantial, there are several restaurants located in the town.

At Hotel Icefiord, we have our own restaurant, which is popular among both hotel guests and tourists and locals alike.  Dining at Restaurant Icefiord is a culinary journey inspired by the flavors of the Arctic. We focus on using the many delicious fresh ingredients from the local area that characterize Greenland. This means that you will often find fresh fish, musk ox, and reindeer on the menu, which is regularly changed. In addition, we have our own smokehouse, so our own organic smoked products are included in our servings. In other words, gastronomy is always paramount, which has made us one of the best restaurants in Ilulissat. For lunch, we offer sandwiches made from good Greenlandic ingredients, while for dinner, we offer selected menus with accompanying wines.

What to experience in Ilulissat

The contrast of the Greenlandic nature in the Ilulissat area is something special. In the summer we prefer the freedom of sailing amongst icebergs and whales and in the winter season the proud Greenlandic sled dogs howl at the dreamy northern lights.  Locals and tourists enjoy dogsledding as well as the more modern snowmobiling in the frozen backcountry. It is a unique way to experience the absolutely unique country of Greenland.

The summer season is as mentioned ideal for boat. Join a whale safari with Disko Line in the Disko Bay. You can get very close to the marvelous animals while they tumble and play in the bay. Normally you will experience the humpback whale, minke whale and fin whale in the Disko Bay.

Dogsledding, snowmobiling and sailing with whales the size of busses are all great experiences, but you actually only have to walk a few kilometers out of town to be amazed. The area around Ilulissat, such as Sermermiut, is perfect for hiking and as scenic as it gets.
