The best (and the only non-hotel restaurants) dinner location in Flam! It's a bar restaurant with…read morethe bar with cozy sitting in the ground floor, and the restaurant on the second floor. 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!

This review is for the restaurant on the third floor of the Fretheim hotel in Flåm, not the buffet!…read moreThe service was tremendous. The waitstaff were accommodating and friendly. Their bread service consisted of homemade bread and butter which was fantastic. I ordered the wagyu entrecôte with broccolini, potatoes, and tomato salad. The wagyu had a béarnaise sauce too. One of the best cuts of meat I've had. The potatoes and veggies paired so well! The salmon was delicious as were the veggies it came with. Our dessert was a warm brownie with seasonal berries and ice cream that was to die for!

How would Japanese food taste in a small town in Norway? It's actually really good, far exceeding…read moreour expectations! Of course like everything in this country, it's not the best bargain on earth, but we had a great evening there with delicious, fresh food and friendly service. The sashimi including the salmon, tuna and scallops were fresh and delicious. Their salad dressing was creamy and savory. And their fish entree was cooked to perfection with a very refreshing sauce! Overall the food was good and not too far from being authentic. Honestly, without competition in this little town of Voss and yet this restaurant could still deliver decent Japanese food. At least locals and tourists have a spot to go! The service was prompt and the ladies who worked there were very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant if you want some Japanese food in Voss!

A lot of the restaurants in Voss are either pizza & kebab shops, traditional Norwegian food or…read moreBritish/American pubs. I will admit, I was really skeptical coming to a sushi place in Norway, but they are known for fish and seafood, so we gave it a shot. Eating in Norway can be expensive, so I would have assumed sushi would be an arm and a leg, but it actually was really reasonably priced, and one of our more inexpensive dinners in Norway. This is located on a street off the main boulevard but it is not difficult to find. The ambiance inside is nice, with white linen tablecloths, cloth napkins, and flowers on each of the tables. The service was great, the servers were attentive and kept our water filled, and the place was really quiet since there were not a ton of other people inside. Fine dining experience without a fine dining price tag. Tempura - We got the vegetable tempura because we hadn't eaten a lot of vegetables or fruit while on vacation, and my boyfriend claimed that he wanted vegetables in whatever form, even if they were deep-fried. There was a decent amount of vegetables here - including yam, carrots, green bell peppers. The tempura was freshly deep-fried, it was good, and it was a decent amount (7-8 pieces) Sashimi Plate & Salad - We got 8 pieces of tuna and salmon which were really fresh and delicious. The slices were a little bit on the thin side, but the quality of the fish was excellent and it would just melt in your mouth. I was expecting the salad to be some mixed greens, but they put some cubes of tuna and salmon on top, and drizzled it with some teriyaki and some mayo, and it was really tasty. This also came with a bowl of rice that had a teriyaki sauce drizzled on it. We spent $45 between both of us, which was relatively inexpensive for sushi and inexpensive for a dinner in Norway. If you're in the mood for sushi, this is a good option. I think they do a buffet for lunch, but I did not try this, nor do I care for buffets. Don't let the pictures of buffets, or the fancy linens inside deter you from trying this place out.
