Dining at the Edge of Disko Bay – Saqqaq’s Exclusive Arctic Restaurant

A Remote Culinary Experience in Ilulissat’s Wilderness

At Camp Saqqaq, dining is more than just a meal—it’s a connection to the land and sea. Located 110 kilometers north of Ilulissat, just 800 meters from the village of Saqqaq, this remote Arctic restaurant brings together wild foraging, fresh seafood, and ancient cooking traditions in a setting where icebergs drift silently past.

You can’t simply reserve a table at Saqqaq Wilderness Dining—you must be a guest of the camp. With only 10 guests at a time, this intimate dining experience is curated by expert chefs using local and foraged ingredients.

Foraging, Fishing & Arctic Cuisine

At Saqqaq, guests take an active role in their meals—foraging, fishing, and gathering ingredients straight from Greenland’s untouched landscapes.

• Sea Urchin Gathering & Arctic Tasting: Hand-pick fresh sea urchins from the icy shallows and enjoy them prepared the traditional Greenlandic way.

• Deep-Sea Fishing & Greenlandic Cooking: Catch Arctic cod or halibut, which will later be prepared using time-honored methods.

• Berry Picking & Wild Herb Foraging: Collect wild Arctic berries and herbs, learning how they’ve been used in Greenlandic cuisine for centuries.

• Cliffside Fish Feast: Experience an Igaasaq meal, where fresh fish is boiled in seawater and served directly from the rock, as Greenlanders have done for generations.
  

Each experience blends ancient techniques with modern culinary refinement, ensuring that every dish is a true reflection of Greenland’s flavors.

A Meal Surrounded by Ice & Tradition

Dining at Saqqaq is not just about tasting Arctic cuisine—it’s about living it.

Guests dine under the open sky, where whales surface in slow, deliberate movements and the Arctic light transforms the icebergs into shifting sculptures. Whether under the midnight sun or Northern Lights, every meal is a celebration of the Arctic’s beauty.

This exclusive culinary experience in Greenland is not something you can find in any restaurant guide.

The only way to experience it is to stay at Camp Saqqaq, where every meal is as much a story as it is a feast.

Experience Greenland Through Taste and Tradition

At Nomad Greenland, we believe that experiencing Greenland goes beyond the landscapes—it’s about tasting the Arctic, connecting with traditions, and becoming part of the moment. Our exclusive, small-group journeys offer a rare opportunity to engage with Greenland’s wilderness through food, adventure, and culture in ways that are both authentic and unforgettable.

Retreat to  Saqqaq Camp,, on the shores of Disko Bay, where en-suite tents offer views of drifting icebergs and days are filled with paddleboarding, hiking, and meeting Greenlandic sled dogs. Or stay at Kiattua Camp, where glamping meets adventure in the heart of the world’s oldest mountain range, with heated tents, glacier-fed hot tubs, and locally inspired meals set against a backdrop of rugged fjords and untouched landscapes.

Our tailored journeys strike a balance between adventure and comfort, offering experiences such as kayaking among icebergs, hiking into untouched wilderness, and gathering wild Arctic ingredients for a meal prepared under the open sky.

This is Greenland beyond the ordinary—where wilderness dining, cultural immersion, and the rhythms of the Arctic come together to create something truly rare.
