The story of how Steve restored the building and started the restaurant is very inspiring. Running a restaurant is a tough business under the best circumstances, and all those additional things that Cecilia mentioned shows a 'can do' attitude which seems to be a feature of Svalbard. A reminder that resilience is an important quality, and perhaps not as widespread as it should be..
Really love how you included the history of the restaurant and backstory about its owner. I also really enjoy seeing the prices of the meals and specifics about the food. Those details really add to the video and make it even more interesting to watch!
Yes! I love how she included the meals and really detailed the restaurant! I am in the restaurant business in the USA so I love to see how others abroad do restaurants and dining experiences 💜💜💜
Christoffer looks at you with such love. You are a lucky women. Cherish the moments. And a dog who is overjoyed at your return! Your world is complete. Thanks for sharing with us.
Awww, C’mon Chris, ditch the hat at dinner! And, Cecilia has made an effort to dress up perhaps you could get out of your lumberjack gear, just for one night! Even if you don’t feel comfortable, it might be nice even for one night!
Looking at how excited Grim was when you got home, he must have woke up to discover that nobody was home and was freaking out..lol He's just so adorable, I love him so much💖
Oohh Grim knew they left, that was him not sleeping, but pouting under the table in the beginning...Cecilia's told in previous videos that he sometimes get mad at them for leaving him home alone. 😂
@@CeciliaBlomdahl how is the drinking and driving stuff up there? Like is there police to stop u and stuff or do ppl know police being kinda friends so its whatever?
By all accounts, you had a fantastic evening together with the important people in your life, having awesome food and a great time together. That is what life is all about.
I love the back story of this restaurant as well as the rustic look and feel. It looks like a place you could sit for hours enjoying the food and good company.
The restaurant looks very rustic, like stepping back in time, very nice...Enjoy your vlogs, Chris should have his own cooking vlog. Happy Holidays. 🎄 🐕 ☃ 🎅
Your videos are inspiring me to embrace the wintertime! I've been reading a book on "hygge" and your life in the polar winter evokes this concept perfectly. I live in the northern United States where we also have long winters and this mindset really has helped me actually enjoy wintertime, get out into the fresh air, and appreciate the season as a time to reflect, reconnect, restore and appreciate the simple pleasures in life!
@@lisa_and_christian So true! I hadn't made that connection, but that's absolutely what I love most about the videos. (Also, the fascinating information about Nature and the history of the place, but the hygge presentation is icing on the cake...and inspiring to me for my winter).
I live in the south of Greece. With very light snow (compared to Svalbard standards) the whole country shuts down. Schools close down, people stay in their houses, the whole country complains profusely about the weather and you basically don't go out until let's say March. And here you are going out to a restaurant in the middle of a snowstorm 🙄. It creates a whole different perspective for me. Your videos really lift me up. I love your channel with all those amazing sceneries. I really like how optimistic and lively and funny you are and that calm strength vibe that Christopher exudes (and his recipes) and Grimm's aloofness. Merry Christmas Cecilia and thank you for all the light that you create into our lives!
Love how Christoffer is kicking back like a King,full belly,nice Coffee in a cozy restaurant with 2 lovely ladies sitting with him.....salute to Christoffer....and some envy.
Love love love when I see a new video pop up while I’m drinking my morning coffee! I absolutely adore how you edit a mix of sweet moments petting grim or tidying up, and then shots of beautiful outdoors or northern lights! Can’t wait to see what this video holds, thanks for sharing Cecilia! ❤️
The restaurant is so beautiful! What an interesting story behind it as well! Please keep those stories and unique histories coming, I think it is so interesting to hear about the many different people who live and create a living on Svalbard! :)
SOOOO cosy! It reminds me of those adorable cabins-now-restaurants in the Sierra Nevadas and Norther Colorado's Crested Bute area. Just gorgeous and so down-home warm and inviting.
What a great story about the owner of the restaurant. The food looks inviting, festive and yummy. Thank you for taking us along. And you looked gorgeous, Cecilia!
My new favorite Channel. I love that town! I wish I could live there I'm one of those rare people who love the cold, snow, mountains, and nighttime. Thanks for sharing I've been catching up on all your old videos ❤️
So nice of you to treat your besties, and it made me happy to see you all have a great time for your Christmas company dinner! Kudos to Steve for running an amazing restaurant near the North Pole! 🥰🎄🎁
That was a fairytale night out ! I don’t think I have heard Grim bark like that before, and it was so cute how happy he was that you guys were home. Great video. Thank you :)
Dearest Ms Cecillia I recognise your kindness as an human being, always smiling ... I wish there was monetary value to a beautiful smile .... You are a beautiful human being
Sir Christopher is such a trooper. And to a classy restaurant, looked scrumptious, too! Lynn seemed pleasant, and oh my, Grim was just a bit excited upon your return. Thanks for sharing!
Awww Grim was so happy you came back! I think the floor is slippery for him and that's why he's hesitant to walk on it. Maybe a small runner in that area would give him a little better footing. Very nice video, Cecilia! I love to get a glimpse into your life there. Greetings from Michigan! 🤚🙂
I have a dear friend also named Cecilia. She’s from Finland but was raised by a Finish ambassador father all around the world so only partly sees herself as Finish. She married a Norwegian when they were both located in India! Gosh, I feel so sheltered. When they speak privately, like in a dispute or with relatives, it’s in Swedish! But anyway, she speaks English with only a faint accent, like you. His Norwegian accent is so thick I often just nod and smile. But his career put him in Los Angeles about 12 years ago, when we met, and they’re so Californian now that when they visit Norway they are in shock from the dark and cold, but still love it. As a native Angeleno, I’d die even in foggy Seattle! 😂 Kudos to you and so glad I stumbled on your channel. Love the aurora borealis! 💚 Thank you for sharing your stories.
Anybody else enjoying the vlogs while also researching flights and airbnbs to calculate costs for a trip to see Svalbard as well at the same time haha. I love the cold but stepping out the box for sure. It's definitely not cheap haha
@Nessa D, when would you want to go to Svalbard? I'd want to go during the polar night to see the Northern Lights. Maybe we could start a Cecelia, Christoffer and Grim fan club tour and get a group discount! Is there an "off season" in Longyearbyen?
I enjoy every video of yours Cecelia. Svalbard is truly magical. You literally take me into those places through your videos. Watching your videos is a sort of addiction for me. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you, Christofer and Grim. Stay blessed as always.
Oh that was such a delightful night out with you all! Thank you. The restaurant and the food oh my! And then to be greeted by Grimm at the end…..gorgeous!!! Have a Happy Christmas all three of you. I look forward to one day being able to visit Longyearbyen one day and I HOPE IT’S SOOOON AND without restrictions! ❤️🇸🇪🇳🇴🇦🇺
Some how I missed this one but it's all good! It's October 26, 2024 and I love all the 'ber months. Getting in the mood. Fantastic video. Thank you. Everyone looked like they were having. a wonderful time. Grimm...so cute. 💖💞💓
I love when you give us some of Longyearbyen's history. The restaurant and food look lovely - as do the drone shots! Didn't know you had a taxi service there. A nice bonus when you've had too much Christmas cheer 😅
Loved the story of the restaurant and how Steve rebuilt it & the history of the area. Christopher is the nicest guy, I love how you have included him more in your vids. Just love your channel Cecilia!
OMG! Spent all weekend watching your videos since i found you on Friday evening. You are just FABULOUS and i really would love to visit the island now. Keep sharing your beautiful place with us as well as your super positive energy, great sense of humour and always great attitude. Lots of love from London and Merry Christmas to you both!
My goodness you have been blessed, and are a blessing. This is the most beautiful video, the restaurant is just stunning, the candles almost made me cry, just amazing. God gave you a beautiful gift to be in this place of such peace and beauty. And to have a life of such creative wonder. You are truely blessed and and are truely a blessing, that my friend is a good life.
Love your content so much. I also love your community. They are the most wholesome group of people and your comment section is always filled with positivity. Merry Xmas to you, Christoffer and Grim, Fenris too ❤
I like the look on Christoffer. He looks like a typical Introvert, that enjoys just hanging out, but not being the center. Glad to see you all had a wonderful evening.
The food looked delicious! Thanks for sharing the experience with us Cecelia 🥰 Grim was so excited to see you, he surprised himself 🤣 love your new bag 💖
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the history of the village and how the restaurant owner preserved many relics from the mine and old buildings. Those people who worked there should be remembered. The restaurant definitely has that warm cozy appeal and yet there's a certain eloquence about it too.
What a beautiful restaurant! Looked so cozy yet elegant and upscale with the food. Well done to Steve! When ya'll left, Grim was just chilling under the coffee table like yeah yeah see ya later, then when ya'll came back he LOST his mind!!!! Christoffer is always seems so calm and relaxed.
All those courses looked amazing, my mouth was watering!!! Such a cosy place and I loved the decor, using bits from the mine. Isn't it the best when you come home to such a doggy welcome??!!!! The love of a hound😍🐕😍
I know it's become a cliche, but it's so true - we don't deserve dogs! Sweet Grim welcoming you home like he hasn't seen you in months - so cute! I'm a little surprised you have taxis there but I'm very glad you do so Christoffer could enjoy some drinks (I love dark beer!). Your outfit was adorable!
Have to try Gruvelageret restaurant, I heard only the best about this place. I can see the building from my window(as much as you can see outside :) ), haven't had a time to go there since I arrived to Longyearbyen. Thanks for the inspiration. /P.
Grim was so excited you were home he literally forgot how to do stairs. My dog can relate. I'm gone for 15 mins to the store and we LOSE OUR MINDS when I come home. It's very cute.
10:41 Oh ! Look ! Here's the Yeti ! Where's my gun ? A Yeti is far more dangerous than a polar bear... Poor Grimm, he was so sad that you were gone.. Adorable doggy dog.. I would have loved to go to that restaurant.. I would have been Lynn's date LoL and the food looked so delish. 😋
Absolutely love watching what you're life is like. You're so funny. You have a lovely sense of humour. Carry on the great work. Have a great Christmas and New year x
Aw, sweet boy, Grim, was sooo happy to see you both! It’s so nice to go out with friends and share a festive meal. After that, the fun continues when you come home to that greeting from your enthusiastic, furry, love bug. 😄 Wishing all three of you a Merry Christmas Season! 🤗🐾❤️
Dearest Cecilia, Merry Christmas to you chris and da grim;-) You looked wonderful and Chris too tonight;-) your excitement is contagious and your generosity is remarkable and of course the universe is rewarding that. May you all have the best holidays and let the new year bring you a full cup on all levels. Thanks for all the gifts of entertainments much appreciated . lol BBh
What a beautiful, cozy place to have dinner. Everything looked amazing. Sweet Grim sure was excited to see you both when you got back. Glad you enjoyed your night out. ❤
Oh wow, what a beautiful restaurant and I loved the story of it too. The decorations in it were so thoughtful! Very nice. You and Christoffer are so cute together :-)
The food looked amazing! What a way to spend a night out for the Christmas season 🎄🎁🍾 I love the ambience of the restaurant ❤️ it just makes the experience all that much special. Merry Christmas greetings and wishes from Pocono Mountains PA USA Cecilia, Christopher & Grimm 🎄🍾🎁🥰
So lovely to see how the season is celebrated, you are three lovely young people, thank you for this gorgeous video, the food looked amazing what a great chef! Love to You Cecelia, Kristoffer and wee Grimm from Aotearoa xxx
You should definitely do a Dating in Svalbard video where you talk about the dating scene in a small remote town, plus tell us how you met Kristoffer and started dating. That would be a real winner, as he's hilarious without saying much on camera.
Cecelia, I have been watching your videos for several weeks now and enjoy them so much! I wish I had moved somewhere exciting like Svalbard in my younger years. Unfortunately, too late now but I will continue to watch and learn through your videos. Thanks so much! merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Hello from Montréal, Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦!! I’ve recently discovered your videos and just love them! We have temperature of -30 Cel today, but I love it! I think I would love it where you live. Your place is so lovely decorated for Christmas, very warm. Your outfit is gorgeous, as is the LV purse you bought!!! Happy new year to the 3 of you 💕
Hi Cecilia ur Christmas celebration was so classy and ambience perfect.i loved the Christmas delicacies.do post more of your celebration videos so that I sitting miles an miles away from your place can feel the festive season and mood
Christoffer's no fist bump cracked me up!!!! That dinner looked delicious & elegant. Great job by the restaurant ~ looks very upscale, yet cozy! Would Lynn be interested in doing a video on her? Where did she come from, what does she do, etc? Marianna
@@CeciliaBlomdahlLynne is very pretty.and appears single. Always remember 2's company 3's a crowd. My bestie ran off with my man. I never saw that coming 😮
Great video (and love the outfit)! Such an interesting story behind the restaurant, and all the work it takes to keep it running in such a remote location on Svalbard. Dessert looked especially tempting, a nice twist on the traditional rice pudding we all know and love (or love to hate, for some, not me!). Glad Christopher was able to join in the festive drinking after all! Aww, but Grím was so excited, what a sweetheart.💓
So festive and yummy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful dining experience with us!! Happy Holidays to you, Cecelia, Christoffer and, of course Grimm... from my winter wonderland (Minnesota, USA) to yours!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful night out with Christopher and friend. Grimm did OK. Merry Christmas to All !!

What a gorgeous restaurant. I love the motif and the natural light from all the candles
The way Christoffer looks at you is so sweet. I love watching the 3 of you. Thank you for being here. ❤️
braving the elements and a cozy home to go back to. make you christmas sparkle. thanks for sharing northernmost town. norway.

You should definitely do a Dating in Svalbard video where you talk about the dating scene in a small remote town, plus tell us how you met Kristoffer and started dating. That would be a real winner, as he's hilarious without saying much on camera.
Cecelia, I have been watching your videos for several weeks now and enjoy them so much! I wish I had moved somewhere exciting like Svalbard in my younger years. Unfortunately, too late now but I will continue to watch and learn through your videos. Thanks so much! merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Loved seeing how excited Grimm was to greet you!
This video is my all time fav youtube video now! Love it all
Thank youuuu!
I love you and Christopher and his "Nothing to punch about" LOL. Cherish each other always. Great vlog as always.
Hello from Montréal, Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦!! I’ve recently discovered your videos and just love them! We have temperature of -30 Cel today, but I love it! I think I would love it where you live. Your place is so lovely decorated for Christmas, very warm. Your outfit is gorgeous, as is the LV purse you bought!!! Happy new year to the 3 of you 💕
Love the outfit, Cecilia! I also love the little history lessons you give us!
Hi Cecilia ur Christmas celebration was so classy and ambience perfect.i loved the Christmas delicacies.do post more of your celebration videos so that I sitting miles an miles away from your place can feel the festive season and mood
God Jul Cecilia, Christopher och sota Grim. Tack for alla fina bilder och minnen du delar med oss.
Thank you Cecilia, I had a great time. Everything looked delicious.
Loved you matched, was the first thing I saw. Loved it. You vibe so well together
Christoffer's no fist bump cracked me up!!!! That dinner looked delicious & elegant. Great job by the restaurant ~ looks very upscale, yet cozy!
Would Lynn be interested in doing a video on her? Where did she come from, what does she do, etc?

🤣🤣😍 We are doing a video with Lynn in January! I will be picking up the "meet the locals" series again! 😍
@@CeciliaBlomdahlLynne is very pretty.and appears single. Always remember 2's company 3's a crowd. My bestie ran off with my man. I never saw that coming 😮
Great video (and love the outfit)! Such an interesting story behind the restaurant, and all the work it takes to keep it running in such a remote location on Svalbard. Dessert looked especially tempting, a nice twist on the traditional rice pudding we all know and love (or love to hate, for some, not me!). Glad Christopher was able to join in the festive drinking after all!
Aww, but Grím was so excited, what a sweetheart.💓
So festive and yummy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful dining experience with us!! Happy Holidays to you, Cecelia, Christoffer and, of course Grimm... from my winter wonderland (Minnesota, USA) to yours!!
Happy holidays! ⭐️😊🎄
grimms excitement at the end is priceless!!
Aww, Grimm was saying "you're finally home, I had separation anxiety!" I can relate with my 6 dogs!
