Eating Out

Gällivare is small enough that the choice of restaurants is limited, but the few decent ones cluster around the town centre and Storgatan. Local food draws on Lapland traditions — reindeer in various forms, Arctic char, cloudberry desserts, and the wood-smoked sausages and breads of the Tornedalen Finnish-speaking minority. The town has the usual cluster of pizzerias and a couple of Asian places for variety. In winter, restaurants close early — book ahead or eat before 8pm.
