Vertshuset Roros

About

Nestled in the heart of the UNESCO‑listed town of Røros, Vertshuset Røros offers diners a blend of historical charm and contemporary Nordic cuisine. The restaurant occupies a part of the 17th‑century Kjerkgata 34 building, whose timber frame and slate roof invite guests into a warm, atmospheric setting that feels like stepping back in time. Each meal reflects the local heritage – from hearty reindeer stew and freshly‑baked lefse to modern reinterpretations of traditional Norwegian fare, all prepared with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The open‑air terrace gives diners sweeping views of the surrounding forested hills, making it an ideal spot for both casual lunches and romantic dinners. The kitchen stays open from 5 pm to 11 pm on Tuesdays, and from noon to 4 pm and again 5 pm to 11 pm from Wednesdays through Saturdays, with a brief break for kitchen cleaning at 9:30 pm. Service starts at 12 pm on Wednesday evenings and continues until 11 pm, allowing diners to enjoy the full menu across the day. Guests flock to Vertshuset for its authentic atmosphere, attentive staff and, most of all, the chance to taste Røros’ culinary traditions in an environment that felt like a living museum. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple exploring the region, or a family wanting a cultural experience, the restaurant offers an inviting, family‑friendly setting that highlights the town’s rich history and culinary heritage.
