About our kitchen

The Alaska Bar at Trasti & Trine is a warm, atmospheric meeting place in the forest, where music, stories and Arctic ambience set the tone for the evening. Inspired by Alaska and the world of dog sledding, it is a place for calm, presence and good conversations.

The bar is a natural landing place when you arrive, with a collection of over 200 vinyl records you can play yourself. Here you choose the evening's soundtrack, whether it's while a winter dog team glides past outside or while summer light rests over the yard on a quiet evening.

The building also carries history, being one of the early constructions erected after World War II, preserved and passed on through time. The interior is shaped with references to life in Alaska, bringing a sense of northern expeditions and dog sledding into Alta.

During Finnmarksløpet and the Iditarod the bar becomes a gathering point where the races are followed live, surrounded by guests, enthusiasts and stories from the trail.

At Trasti & Trine, students and apprentices have the opportunity to learn through practical work, exploration and genuine food experiences. With a focus on quality ingredients, the rhythm of the seasons and traditional crafts, we aim to inspire the next generation to preserve and develop the culinary arts. Here young people have room to be creative, build solid professional skills and contribute to a living community that creates value for the place, the craft and the future.
