Welcome aboard Kautokeino

Experience something truly out of the ordinary – a floating restaurant and bar based in Ålesund. On board Kautokeino, we combine great flavours, a maritime atmosphere, and unique experiences at sea.
This is not a traditional restaurant. Here you get close to the ocean, dynamic surroundings, and an atmosphere that changes with the weather, light, and landscape.
Food and drinks with a taste of the sea
We have a strong focus on seafood and offer a selection of delicious dishes inspired by the coast:
- Shrimp sandwich and shrimp bun
- Creamy pasta with shrimp
- Bacalao
- Classic fish soup
- Charcuterie board
- Mussels
For those who prefer an alternative to seafood, we also offer a flavorful meat stew. Children can enjoy our homemade fish burger.
We are committed to quality and are happy to work with local suppliers wherever we operate – even when we are travelling.
A venue for experiences
Kautokeino is equally suited for a relaxed dinner as it is for social gatherings and celebrations.
We welcome:
- Tourists and local guests
- Corporate events and kick-offs
- Birthdays, weddings, and christenings
- Private events with tailor-made solutions
If you are looking for something truly special, we can customise the experience to your needs – including catering options from local partners.
Entertainment and atmosphere
To make the experience even more vibrant, we regularly offer light entertainment on board, such as:
- Trubadour
- Stand-up comedy
- Karaoke
Everything is set for great memories – whether you want to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere, or join a lively evening filled with energy, laughter, and entertainment.
Multiple zones – one unique experience

Travelling along the coast
Based in Ålesund, Kautokeino operates during the summer season, visiting festivals and events in the local area. We bring the maritime experience to where people are – always with a focus on local flavours and collaboration.
A different kind of restaurant experience
Kautokeino is more than just a place to eat – it is an experience. Here, people, the sea, and great flavours come together in a setting you won’t find on land.
