Cafe Umami

Arctic Highway


Sandwiches, open and otherwise, a mean hot chicken soup and some creative salads make up the menu here. This fine choice has smooth contemporary decor within the antique shell of an old Sjøgata building – an alternative to the prevailing wooden tables and frilly curtains elsewhere along this street. In summer it sometimes opens 11am to 3pm on Sundays.
