They were both very delicious!…read moreConsidered more as a flat pizza in my opinion, the crusts were crispy and the flavors were absolutely amazing! The portion could be considered 'personal' but a little larger than your standard personal pie! Cost: The prices were a little steep in my opinion, however, as a traveler I do know Norway is considered more expensive and so taking that into account, I want to say that the price here was average. Environment: The theme here encompassed an 'Italian' theme- absolutely loved the olive trees that were used to decorate the restaurant. It had a very classic/cozy vibe and made the experience that much better! Service: Absolutely A+! I just want to say that the service and hospitality they provided for my boyfriend and I was amazing! We were traveling late into the night and decided to quickly stop by to grab some warm food/bite to eat, however, we were misinformed that the restaurant would be opened until 12 because upon or arrival around 10PM, the restaurant was closing down. We quickly asked if the kitchen was open and to our surprise, even though our waiter told us the kitchen was cleaning up, he actually went out of his way to look into seeing if they can whip us up some pizza quickly! We were absolutely so grateful because we were starving after a long day of driving/traveling! Uniqueness: The environment and service that this place provides would be the unique aspect of this restaurant! The decorations were absolutely beautiful and I would love to come back here if I were to ever come by the area when visiting Norway again!

Despite the 3 restaurants to choose from in little Balestrand, we loved it so much that we ate dinner here again our second night.

Later an older lady showed us upstairs to a very cool observatory, she also told us stories and sang us a song. It was unusual fun in the best way, and she is why I changed my 3 stars to 4. About the food: I had the Reindeer Sausages with some yummy vegetables. For desert I tired the 'White Lady,' which they only make if they have time. It had a load of whip cream and sugar!

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 food is absolutely delicious. We got the Ran, which is a fish soup dish. The soup itself tasted very much like a creamy Tom Yum soup, and the seasonal fish and mussels very fresh. The fish was a little on the dry side, but the foccacia paired extremely well with the soup. We also got the havamal, and the beef patty was very juicy and flavourful. The Viking plank seems to be a very popular dish, as it is a 5 course tasting menu paired with 5 different beers. Unfortunately we didn't get to try this one when we visited, but it looked great! The service is excellent. The waiter was very attentive, and took the time to split the soup to two bowls as he asked and we indicated that we would like to share it between the two of us. There isn't too much seating, so I can see that it could be crowded or difficult to find seats during peak season, so keep that in mind!
