VEGAN GUIDE TO LOFOTEN
Lofoten is one of our favorite places to be. Our founder Ingunn is from here and tries to spend the summers in Lofoten. She doesn't find it difficult to live vegan here, but they still have a long way to go. In the future we hope to see the restaurants use seaweed and create amazing vegan dishes that doesn't harm our ocean and animals.
If you are going to a restaurant that doesn’t have vegan dishes on their menu, we recommend that you contact them beforehand and let them know you want vegan food.
