There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Depending where you sit, you can get a pretty view of the mountains. BrimiBue did not have a menu in English available, but the staff were able to translate what they were serving. They had specials for the day, which on the day we visited, it was Taco Friday (Tacofredag). The menu was not extensive, but there were some vegetarian options. They also had a few desserts, which we did not try. Besides food, they sell a variety of items, such as teas, hand and body cream, and different kinds of jams, including cloudberries. Beverages offered are juices, beer, wine, and self-served water. We ordered the moose smørbrød (elgkarbonade) and the potato and celeriac leaves soup. We shared both foods and the meal was satisfying. However, the food did come with bread and butter, so if it weren't for that, we may have been a little bit more hungry. The moose smørbrød was a thick piece of bread, layered first with a spread mixture of sour cream and mustard, then greens, the moose pattie, sauteed onions and cherry tomatoes, sweet lingonberries, and finally, garnished with a generous amount of cress herbs. It was lip-smacking good. I savored every bite. The potato and celeriac leaves soup was simple, yet so delicious. It's essentially a pureed mixture of potatoes, celeriac leaves, seasoned with salt and pepper, with a touch of truffle oil, small pieces of fried onions, and garnished with a few croutons and cress herbs. The soup was perfect for a cold windy day. The soup was served with thick bread slices and a special kind of butter that looked like it had seeds in it. The butter was so good, I could have eaten a pound of this in one sitting. I wished I could have taken more of this butter home with me. This restaurant is a must stop if you're in Lom!

Lyst was recommended to us by our Airbnb host. We were in search of some good Norwegian staples and…read moreLyst delivered. The ambiance upon walking in is up scale casual. All tables were full, so we waited about 15 minutes to sit down. Upon sitting, our server immediately brought water. The menus are already on the table with entrees described in both Norwegian and English. Two of us ordered the Lyst Bacalao Gryte and two of us ordered the Gratinert Torsk and we ordered the fish soup and shrimp and seafood salad. All four items were delightful. The Bacalao is a traditional and popular food item in Ålesund. The cod was perfectly cooked in a tomato broth with vegetables and potato purée. The Torsk was also cod but served gratin with vegetables and bacon. The soup was rich and creamy and the salad was lighter, with crisp lettuce covered in small shrimp and smoked salmon. We left with full bellies, completely delighted by the food. Having eaten many places, I think this restaurant is in my top 10-15 restaurants ever! A MUST try when in Ålesund!!!

I ordered the fish and chips based on the server's recommendation and it was food, nothing spectacular, but that is what I expected. My co-traveler had the Tex-mex (taco) salad and really liked her meal. I had been feeling excellent this entire trip until about 2 hours after this meal and then the vomiting started. It's now 8am and I am empty and feeling good again, but definitely won't be back. The funny thing was that the woman at the next table ordered it right after me and was told it was out, so where did they find mine? The atmosphere is casual and very nice, the servers were great. I don't like to write bad reviews, but when I get this sick so soon after I need to let them and others know.

The fish quality is top tier and well worth the value and price that they put out for their menu items. The only thing I felt like was that the dishes could've used a bit more seasoning and flavor--a bit too subtle for my taste for amazing cuts of seafood. They also have plenty of drinks here at average prices. My cocktail had some bright and fresh raspberries!

They have various soups, sandwiches, and other cafe items--I had the reindeer soup and thought it was overall pretty decent. The meat was very gamey and the soup was heartwarming.

That's why most people come here. The all glass exterior looking out to the remote country is gorgeous and I would just grab a coffee and spend hours reading a book here or something.

We of course got strawberry cake and coffee. The cake turned out to be mostly cream --- one strawberry inside, and another halved as decoration, with a lackluster sauce. We'd been hoping for much more fruit, but perhaps we were being unrealistic. The coffee was weak, and offered somewhat stiffer rates for refills than most places. The blond wood and historic art is atmospheric, but the soft-rock soundtrack kills any homey vibe. I'll look elsewhere for coffee and cake.
