“Thanks for an absolutely excellent meal in a wonderful atmosphere last Saturday.”

“I was at Støtt Brygge with two youths in July. We took a kayaking course and had the opportunity to explore Støtt and the surrounding islands from the seaside. It’s a fantastic area with exciting birdlife and beautiful flora! In September I went back and did a circuit walk of the island with my father who is in his 80s. In the evening we dined on delicious dishes made of the best ingredients. I highly recommend their restaurant! Støtt is a fascinating island with an interesting history. We’ll definitely be back.”

– Jane Andersen

“Støtt is a gem of an island community, an old fishing village that was an important trading post in the 19th century – with “rock-faces covered with clipfish”. Our family was fascinated by this beautiful, charming and hospitable place. Here we could enjoy the scenery and tranquillity, go cycling, explore the German World War II bunkers and gun positions, go paddle, take a RIB sea-rafting safari and much more.

We spent the night in the newly renovated Bakery, in a nice suite that was tastefully furnished with antiques, but nonetheless had very comfortable beds and all the modern amenities. The service was top notch, with friendly hosts and a staff who gave us helpful tips that enabled us to really get the most out of our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, with seafood dishes such halibut and bacalao on the menu. Yes, Støtt Brygge is a unique place that we can highly recommend. We look forward to coming back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.”

“We were three couples, old friends close to 70, who had chosen an adventure to Støtt Brygge, in the far north of the Helgeland coast. What a wonderful experience it was! The place, the food, the hosts and their good helpers. Our beautiful rooms took us back in time, and were nice and clean. The old buildings had been beautifully renovated. The scenery was pristine and magnificent. We went on a RIB sea-rafting trip to Myken to check out the whisky distillery run by Jan Hellstrøm and his wife, and their skilled employees. Thoroughly enjoyable whisky and gin tasting. We also took a fishing trip with a large fishing boat – great fishing combined with watching the sea eagles. We also spent a few hours hiking on Svenningen, a neighbouring island, with a guide who told us stories from the war. I can heartily recommend a stay at Støtt. Karsten and Mette, Karin and Per and Elisabeth and Erik.”

“I was impressed to my core by last night’s dinner. We had such a nice evening at the museum, with wonderful food and drink. Very authentic!”

– Petter Fjeld

“We have had several absolutely fantastic days at Støtt Brygge thanks to our hosts, Eva and Sven. The food was exceptional – and I have to admit we’re spoiled. The friendly hosts made sure we had a good time. We hiked the island and enjoyed listening to the stories about the old trading post and the island community. We took a two-day kayaking course, and earned our “wet card” certification. Conditions were great for learning how to master kayaking. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!”

– Inger-Hilde T.

“We spent our night in the Bakery, in a room that was charming yet modern. That evening we dined on a three-course menu in Restaurant Gammelbutikken. The food and service were fantastic! We also received a guided tour of the second floor of what was once an old shop. Highly recommended. This place is quite an adventure!”

– Eli L.

“Støtt Brygge is a gem that must be experienced! Out there surrounded by the open sea, Støtt Brygge is so much more than accommodation and a restaurant. It is a rare and unique destination well worth visiting. It’s a delight to experience an old fishing village, now run as a hotel with rooms in charming old buildings! And they have an excellent kitchen! On Saturday we had a five-course dinner that was consistently of high quality in terms of ingredients, flavour and presentation. The wine package was a perfect match. We thoroughly recommend a stay at Støtt Brygge!”

– Kristin W.

“We were a group of twelve adults and two children from Asker, Bygdøy and Bergen who had two fantastic days at Støtt. We came to celebrate someone’s 80th birthday. We stayed on the second floor of Meieriet and Rorbua, the fishermen’s quarters. The style of the refurbished rooms was consistent in every detail, with lovely beds and linen. We enjoyed many walks and lots of incredibly delicious food. We had a great time!”

– Merete L.

“The food was delicious and the quality of the ingredients was top notch. The new chefs really know their stuff, when it comes to preparing whale meat as well as fish like saithe. We can recommend each of the three courses in the set menu. We enjoyed many great walks on both islands. Go for a visit!”

“My family and I came to Støtt Brygge, stayed in the Rorbua and ate dinner in the restaurant. The surroundings are historic, the scenery is wild and pristine, and the food was exceptional in terms of both taste and presentation. The flavourful three-course menu was based with local ingredients. The whale, halibut and other fish were served with excellent wines.”

– Eric N.

“Støtt Brygge, on an idyllic island far out at sea, is a place that exudes history, charm and friendly hospitality. The hosts provided a great conference room in the loft, as well as snacks and good food. Our celebratory dinner with fish and whale was especially great, as were the accompanying wines and beverages.

Our accommodation was hotel standard, with refurbished rooms, lovely beds and warm down duvets. Støtt Brygge is a beautiful venue with great food and friendly, helpful hosts. I can recommend it for a company conference and outing where you want to be alone and really concentrate.”

“A lovely place, lovely hosts, and lovely food! This place really has to be experienced. The old buildings surround you with history. And nearby there is more history to be experienced if you take a trip to Svenningen. Our seafood buffet was wonderful!”

– Mailen B.

“It’s a great pleasure to come here every summer – for lovely luncheons on the terrace by the magnificently restored restaurant house. We really appreciate the eminent chef and kitchen staff, and can highly recommend their fish soup and bacalao, and in fact the whole rest of their menu. Greetings from Eastern Norway.”

– Eva K.

“In my opinion, Støtt Brygge offers the best dining experience. Especially the stockfish soup with focaccia was a real winner! The stories they shared and the museum exhibition in the loft was very interesting. We can highly recommend everything.”

– Merethe A.

“This is an incredibly beautiful place out in the open sea. Støtt has a colourful history and now a new generation is running the old trading post. They have made impressive efforts to provide great dining and accommodation, while emphasising both your scenic and historical experience. The food is special, local and very good! Great atmosphere, very friendly hosts who show their interest and take their time. This place is worth a visit!”

– Per K.

“Wonderful food and good service in fantastic surroundings. Our main course was fresh halibut, perfectly prepared. The three-course meal was paired with a good selection of wines. If you are sailing the coast, you definitely want to pay Støtt a visit, and there is plenty of space for guests in their harbour.”

– Alf-Ole D.

“We were two girlfriends enjoying ourselves – spent the night in the Bakery, which has been completely renovated. Our suite was fantastic, with very stylish refurbishment and furniture, a harmonious mix of old and new. Wonderful dinners with bacalao, halibut and cloudberry ice cream! Really impressive. A delicious breakfast with omelette, crêpes, assorted cold cuts and good bread! Our good hosts offered full service, even though it was a very quiet weekend during the off-season. The people who run Støtt Brygge and work here were great people. We’ll be back and look forward to exploring more of the surrounding scenery! If you haven’t been to Støtt yet, a wonderful experience awaits you.”

– Reise ALM

“This is a rare find in Norway. Quality accommodation and terrific dining, with exceptional food and wine. Local ingredients expertly prepared – and you clearly sense they have poured their heart and soul into everything. And Støtt is just a short boat trip from Bodø or Ørnes.”
