The world's northernmost McDonald's recently opened in Tromsø, Norway, boasting a similar atmosphere and menu to that found in the US. The restaurant is part of McDonald's expansion in Arctic Norway, aimed at hiring around 60 employees and accommodating 140 guests. Previously, the title belonged to a location in Rovaniemi, Finland, marking a sentimental loss for fans. The article explores the contrast between expected northern delicacies and the familiar fast-food experience, and reflects on the unique experience of dining in such an outpost.

The new location is part of McDonald's strategy to expand in Arctic regions, aiming to hire 60 staff and serve 140 guests daily.
Prior to Tromsø, the title of the northernmost McDonald's was held by Rovaniemi, Finland, a sentimental outlet that linked to childhood memories of Santa.
