On our first visit, we shared a delightful goat cheese salad, followed by a lamb dish and a deer stew. The meat was incredibly tender and cooked to perfection, and we finished the night with a spectacular brown cheese cheesecake. We enjoyed it so much, we returned the next evening to try their cheeseburger and salami pizza (we had taken a fjord safari cruise and the guide recommended their pizzas). Every single thing we ate was absolutely delicious, highlighting fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service is highly efficient: you order at the counter, choose your seat, and they bring the food straight to your table. The staff was consistently friendly, helpful, and quick. Both days there was plenty of room in the gastropub and we did not have to wait for a seat. We also got to experience both seating areas. The outdoor patio offers a lovely view while keeping you totally comfortable, heated, and protected from the elements. Our second night, we sat inside, which has a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. You can't go wrong either way. Highly recommend!

For 1300kr($173) Lars will take two people for about 90 minutes to go anywhere you want on his highspeed RIB boat...its kinda like being a roller coaster in the water, but lasting 90 minutes instead of 90 seconds. Its cold, thrilling, can be wet, and 110% AWESOME. Yes its not cheap, but if you're traveling to Balestrand Norway, you're probably in a decent financial situation. (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago)

The view of the fjord is beautiful, and that alone makes dining here worth it. You couldn't really hear the music from where we were sitting by the window, but we didn't mind. I tried the cod. The fish was perfectly cooked and paired with tender potatoes and a delicious parsnip purée. Overall, I would recommend the Flåm Marina & Apartments for dinner in Flåm.

The hostel/cabins book months in advance, so don't come here expecting to find a room the same day. We made that mistake and were directed to the campsite instead. I have to admit, paying 225 krone (about $30) per night to pitch our tent on a random patch of grass was a disappointment, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything cheaper in Flam, which is a major tourist destination. This place is in a solid location too, as it is about a 5-minute walk from the bus station. As far as campsites go, this one is very basic. There are water spouts, bathrooms with coin-op showers, a small communal kitchen, a playground for the kidlets, and coin-op laundry. Food options are a mini-store at the info desk and a food truck that comes at night. There are some broken wooden picnic tables to eat your food at, some covered by the pavilion and others uncovered. Bathrooms are clean enough. If I were to return to Flam, I would book a cabin way in advance, since it seemed to be an overall much nicer experience.

This review only covers the amenities accessible by us. The restrooms here were pretty awful smelling inside. Significant improvements needed. The views from the back of the hotel down into the Nærøydalen valley would've been nicer on a clear day. One could just make out the old winding road below us. Too bad as others have posted some beautiful photos on a clear day. We did a quick walk through of the hotel and found the decor was of an older style with a mixture of antique statues, furnishings and other items. A gift shop also sold drinks and snacks so it was good opportunity to grab a quick snack before continuing on the bus to Voss.
