I ate at the world's northernmost McDonald's. The menu was packed with items I'd never seen before, but I'm not sure it was worth the trek.
- The world's northernmost McDonald's is located in Tromsø, Norway, attracting tourists with its unique items and spacious interior.
- Despite its location above the Arctic Circle, the Tromsø McDonald's menu and decor are similar to those in the US.
- The restaurant opened as part of McDonald's initiative to expand in Arctic Norway, offering typical McDonald's fare with some local twists and items.
- While serving reindeer burgers and facing a snowy mountain backdrop, the actual experience was similar to visiting any other McDonald's.
- The Tromsø McDonald's features seating for 140 guests and operates up to 21 hours a day with a staff of around 60 people.
- Menu items included the 'Happy Fish' and 'McFeast,' alongside typical McDonald's offerings, but with a Norwegian touch.
- The prices at the northernmost McDonald's were comparable to those in the US, with highlights like the Daim McFlurry and unique drink options.
- The food at this McDonald's was similar in quality to US branches, with novel items like the McFlurry standing out.
- While the McDonald's experience was not significantly different from other locations, it offered postcards commemorating its northernmost status.
- Overall, visiting the northernmost McDonald's in Tromsø provided a mix of novelty and familiarity, with other local culinary experiences recommended as well.
