Suvi - Tromso

We enjoyed our vegan meals very much, but the non-vegan in our group found their meal to be average. The restaurant clearly labels their vegan options.

I tried the hot avocado sushi at Suvi and it was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience at this restaurant, from the decor to the friendly staff and delicious food. I was looking for a light dinner and the staff were very helpful in explaining the menu and helping me choose the perfect dish. I had been searching for a vegan restaurant in Tromsø and the reviews for Suvi were spot on. The service, hospitality, and cooking were all top-notch. Great job, guys!

I must say, I really enjoy Tromso. It's a very popular tourist destination, and for good reason. Tromso has stunning nature, wildlife, and the added bonus of cold weather, darkness, and Norwegians all around. However, one thing I don't particularly like about Norwegians is their eating habits. Norway is one of the few countries that still hunts whales, and many restaurants mainly serve fish (not necessarily whale). In Tromso, Suvi has received great reviews from vegans, and for good reason. It's a cozy restaurant with friendly staff and a significant vegan menu. The staff recommended the red curry, which was filled with crunchy fresh vegetables and well-cooked tofu in a spicy sauce, served with white rice. The meal was delicious and filling, so I didn't need any starters or desserts. I went back a few days later to try the stir-fried tofu, which turned out to be spicier than expected. Once again, the food was beautifully presented and tasted great. I tried to return to Suvi again without a reservation, but they were fully booked. I didn't want to sit at the bar and look at a display of dead fish, so I decided to pass. Lesson learned: always make reservations at Suvi!

These people are pro’s and me and my company were very content with the food. I would give 5 stars for the vegan dishes on their own. Not many (if any? restaurants in Tromsø have separate vegan and vegetarian menus, but Suvi has!! They took a while to serve our main dish though, in the rush of Saturday evening. I ate: Vegan Dim Sum (starter : quite fancy! soy mince and veggies wrapped and steamed, good spicing, dipping in soy sauce. Yummy! Vegan Red curry: perfect creamy consistency, strong taste, quite spicy yet not burning. Recommended! Ordered without the soy pieces due to allergy, they didn’t have any other protein substitute, so got a bit more veggies instead… still wow! Avocado nigiri (also vegan : not the best composition, hard to grab whole without the avokado falling off and the rice splits. So exactly what I did: Split the nigiri in half first, then it worked to dip ‘em in the soy sauce. Still very good avokado and taste!

Clearly identified vegan choices both for starters and main course. And it was very tasty. Friendly place and great staff. Well located. Highly recommended
