This was a really amazing experience. The dinner may have been my favorite meal across our 14 day vacation. The gardens are stunning everywhere you look. Would definitely recommend this for a stay in Stavanger! read more

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! Did not expect to see what we saw. Flor & Fjære is AMAZING!!!! Be forewarned, they are not open year long. They are open (approximately) from May to September every year. Take their colorful ferry from the port in Stavanger, Norway. It is about a 20 minute ferry ride on the fjord before arriving at the beautiful island. Even before we set foot on the island, we were totally blown away with what we saw. We peered out the windows, and we were greeted by gorgeous colorful flowers. I did not expect to see such lush breathtaking gardens! Flor & Fjære truly is an island paradise in Norway!! We took a short guided tour first which gave us a glimpse and history of the place. We did our own self guided tour (and took a bunch of pictures) after partaking of their delicious lunch buffet. Most of our meal was made from organic ingredients only found on the island. Everything from the chicken to the lamb to the dessert and everything in between was yummy! Of course, I had my favorites. I especially enjoyed the scrumptious Hidlefjord Fish soup and delectably divine dessert! Definitely, a 5 star lunch buffet experience! I highly recommend a trip to Flor & Fjære if you have time to spare in Stavanger. Well worth the price of admission to see these spectacular magnificent gardens!!! You have to book your tickets in advance, though. Personally, I enjoyed them more than Butchart Gardens in Canada. Simply STUNNING!!!!! read more

I am an expat in Stavanger and just visited for the first time. Really amazed at how lush and beautiful this island is. Beautiful flowers, trees, and landscapes all around. Even a sandy beach and lots of waterfalls. Worth it just for the pictures you get. 5 total hours was just right to get all of all exploring done. Buffet was actually good, we listed to the chef explain the ingredients, and carefully picked what we would like. We went in late June when the roses were just starting to bloom. Think I might wait until July for my next visit to get maximum effect. read more

The place is in a small island with a beautiful garden, opened during summer. The visit includes the boat ride from Stavanger center and a quick garden tour. Limiting the rating in this review to the restaurant: Food was average and overpriced: a fish soup, a small buffet with not much variety and not that great quality/taste either (found an entire bouillon in my meal) dessert was ice-cream and coffee. Drinks are not covered in the initial reservation/estimate. I will definetly not go back for food here, not worth it. read more
