This review is long overdue. We spent two nights in Eidfjord in September at a lovely AirBnB. Our…read morehost recommended this restaurant (only one of a handful in the town) so we checked it out on our first night, but it was closed. The note said they would be open the next day, so we called and made a reservation. When we got there on Saturday night, we were the only ones there at first. The restaurant used to be a house, and now the first floor is the restaurant/bar area, with a few boarding rooms upstairs. The week we were there was the last week they would be open until the spring, since it was the end of the tourist season. The server/owner was very welcoming and friendly. She told us she and her father own the place, and they renovated it a few years ago. The inside is beautiful, and really cozy and comfortable. There are a few dining tables in the back room, along with a lounge area next to the bar up front. There was no written menu--the owner just told us the two options they had for the night (a salmon dish and reindeer) as well as a soup and dessert. They also had two local wines and some local beer. The meal was delicious, and so peaceful. We sat next to the window, which overlooks the fjord. We could see the sun setting while we were eating. After we finished our meal, we were going to just go back to the AirBnB, but the server convinced us to stick around at the bar. There were two or three other people there, who were clearly locals who come in a lot. We had a few drinks at the bar before we called it a night. Overall this was a lovely experience, and I highly recommend it if you find yourself in this sleepy cruise town.

Not only is this a very, very cosy place (especially the attic, where they have couches and…read morearmchairs) but the staff is also very service minded and kind. The person who served us the best Gin&Tonic I've ever drunk told us a lot about Eidfjord and Norway in general. After a while they even surprised us with free popcorn. Very sweet!

Passable cafe fare. We visited Fjell & Fjors Kafe Kremmeri on a Thursday afternoon for a late…read morelunch, and there were plenty of tables available. Soft jazz music played while we were constantly harassed by wasps both inside and outside (we tried to move to escape them). I tried the vegetable wrap. The wrap was okay but could have used some sauce to improve the flavor. Overall, I think it's best to keep moving rather than stop at Fjell & Fjors Kafe Kremmeri.

Stopped in for a late lunch at this little cafe. We had the chicken curry wrap. It was tasty and…read morequite filling. It was definitely on the affordable side for Norway at $30 USD for two wraps and a flat white. The value enhanced my overall rating. The place was clean and welcoming and the service was good.

I had the chicken fatah and my friend got the grilled chicken spaghetti. We both agreed the dishes were packed with flavor. Mine was a little more buttery than I would have liked, but it was still great... I just may have a coronary blockage now. The G&T did not disappoint either!

A wonderful hotel in a most beautiful surroundings…read more As soon as you arrive and have a chance to walk thru the patio and garden on the back to the water, you are stunned by the views of Hardangerfjord. Peaceful water and mountains. I cannot believe how still the water is. Slopes with houses dotted here and there, and birch trees... Standing in awe... Rooms at Brakanes are charming, it is quiet here. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Small gift shop on a first floor offers all your regular souvenirs. Some cute clothing, too! Their restaurant is nothing but outstanding. Every course is a masterpiece. I can honestly say, venison here is the best you would find anywhere, it just melt-in-your-mouth perfection. What's around: There are many hike trails and runs in Ulvik, the ones you will remember forever. Run around the fjord in early morning hours is particularly peaceful. If you visiting in Spring, there are cherry trees in bloom! Small cafes along the water are delightful for quick bite of to sit and relax.

Charming hotel facing Hardanger fjord in the quaint town of Ulvik…read more Service: Staff is friendly & helpful. Pointed out local activities and provided extra room key on request. Room reservation comes with 'be active' vouchers for activities in Ulvik; however, not provided automatically on check-in. Received immediately on request. Food: Enjoyed buffet dinner and breakfast at restaurant. Wide selection and buffet items refilled often, clean plates/glasses. Most items were tasty. Water pitchers refilled often, used cutlery swapped, and used plates bussed quickly. No complaints. Rooms: Cosy and clean. Majestic views of Hardanger fjord from private balcony. Bathroom had good water temperature/pressure. Wake-up call provided as promised. Bottom Line: Picturesque views alone warrant 5 stars. Combined with the availability of vouchers, cosy rooms, and good food this place is a solid 5.

The restaurant is styled like an American saloon with cowboy hats and western decor around the dining area and American country music playing in the background. They also have outdoor seating. We tried their tapas plate. I have to admit that my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aioli was quite tasty and sweet and sour and ranch sauces were fine. The onion rings, chicken wings, and fried shrimp were on par with the best I have had, and the other fried foods were decent as well. The grapes were particularly good, and the red ones had a flavor that I had never encountered before. Overall, I had a great experience at Vossevangen Grill & Steakhouse and would recommend their tapas plate.

Wifi is not reliable, but this is a remote area, and be aware of that. Since it is usually not very warm, there is no air conditioning. In the summer for a few weeks, they also have pesky non-biting flies, so you cannot open your windows too wide. Staff was very cheerful, and helpful. Location is right next door to the train station, so you should not have any problems walking with your luggage to the hotel. Be aware there are a few steps to get into the lobby, and your room may be down a flight of stairs. I do not believe they have an elevator. Overall, a little rustic, but a stunning setting, and a wonderful place!
