The island only has around 40 residents, yet Svanøy Handel (grocery shop) and Svanøy Kro (pub) stay open all year round. In the summer months our business hours and menu extended. You can dive in to our wide selection of flavours from Kinn to Honolulu, try Sunnfjord's best burger or rent a bike and explore the island.
Svanøy Kro
We believe in using local resources. Our menu mainly consists of ingredients from Svanøy Røykeri (Svanøy Smokery) and Norsk Hjortesenter (Norwegian Deer Centre). We pick the wild garlic in the spring so you can enjoy it any time! We host a variety of events throughout the year, keep up with our facebook page or events calendar.
