MEET THE TEAM!
One of our Sushi Chefs, Hugo came to Tromsø 13 years ago in search of a new culinary experience and ended up building a life surrounded by nature, tranquillity, and his beautiful family 🇳🇴
What he loves most about the city is the peaceful lifestyle and the closeness between work, home and nature. For him, Tromsø feels special because life moves at a different pace here. The only downside? Feeling far away from the rest of the world.
At Hav, Hugo is known for his social and playful personality, as well as his attention to detail. What he enjoys most is the interaction with guests and the strong team spirit behind the restaurant. His favourite dish on the menu is the Tempura Deluxe: simple answer, easy choice 🍤
Outside of work, most of his time is spent with his family, his two children and wife, and working on projects around the house. His perfect day off in Tromsø depends on the season: Grøtfjord in the summer and the comfort of home during winter, ideally with takeaway sushi before heading out into nature.
For Hugo, what makes Hav special is its quality, atmosphere, and people. His advice for first-time guests? Tell the chefs what ingredients and flavours you enjoy, and let the team surprise you ✨
