Livland Gård.
A family farm, not a restaurant.
A family farm on the northern side of Austvågøy, approximately 26 km north of Svolvær. Long tables, Villsau, and the northern light above the fields.
A living family farm on the northern side of Austvågøy.
Viking sheep on ancestral pastures. Open fires and long tables.
Where hospitality, food and nature have grown together over generations — and where the northern light still writes the ending of most evenings.
A different side of Lofoten.
Just 26 kilometres from Svolvær lies a different side of Lofoten. A family farm where darkness, silence and open skies become part of the experience — and where the northern light still writes the ending of the evening.
The people who give it identity.
A place is never made by buildings or landscape alone. It is the people who give it identity. At Livland you are welcomed by Anne and Roy — and, on many evenings, by Erling.
The steady presence at the table.
With his distinctive beard and calm presence, more than a few guests smile and say Erling looks as if he has just stepped ashore from a Viking ship. Behind that exterior is a life spent as a diplomat, consul and bridge-builder between people and cultures.
A meal is never just a meal.
At Livland the table is where people meet. Guests from around the world share food, stories and laughter around dishes built on local ingredients and Northern Norwegian tradition. Our signature is Planken — Arctic Sharing: shared platters served once each evening, at nature's pace.
A living encounter with one of Norway's oldest breeds.
At Livland you meet the Old Norwegian sheep — often called the Viking sheep. A breed shaped by the northern climate, rooted in the Viking Age, and still part of everyday life on the farm.
A dark sky, on our doorstep.
Between September and April, Livland becomes one of Lofoten's most reliable aurora locations. We hold a second evening in reserve. When the sky agrees, we simply step outside.
Come for an evening. Stay for a night. Return every year.
