We had the best dinner here on our trip to Norway. The view is spectacular, but the food is absolutely out of this world. Ania reserved our table (call ahead to do that) and kept us company the whole evening. She gave us great recommendations on what meals to try and what wines to pair with them. She is quite knowledgeable about what to see in Norway, so we really appreciated her tips. Overall fantastic experience and a must stop on your tour of Norway.

Very tasty and perfectly made cod which was a catch of the day. Good service, although i asked for a place next to the window and was refused even there were plenty of tables free next to the window since my arrival through all time of my visit. Would recommend but book the table next to the window if you care about the view.

We visited on June 8th. Traveled here from Seattle, Washington. We both enjoyed our meals. Great view as well. Would definitely recommend. The sun can be pretty strong next to the window, so Have your sunglasses.
