Vertshuset Skarven is made up of passionate people who have either spent many years in hospitality, are just starting their careers, or somewhere in between. We are proud to be an important workplace for many people in Tromsø.
Skarven’s story goes back to the early 1900s, when Gerhard Hay established a butter factory (Tromsø Smørfabrik A/S) in 1908, in a warehouse under modest conditions.
Since 1986, Vertshuset Skarven has been a social meeting place known well beyond the city limits.
Vertshuset Skarven is an important part of the restaurant group Taste Tromsø, made up of local, authentic places to eat and drink. Our food and drink draw on northern Norwegian ingredients from local suppliers, and on our own history.
