Jamie W. and I had a long wait for the 2:10PM departure on the uber-popular Flam Railway (review: https://bit.ly/3wVaSW2). We took the half-hour mini-bus ride to the Stegastein Viewpoint platform earlier in the morning (review: https://bit.ly/3dxIwe1), but then what.. Lunch, of course. We had seen a woman eat an appetizing salad here on the terrace the day before, so we made a mental note since we had a hankering for greens. We both ordered the 135 NOK ($13.50 US) Salad with Feta Cheese which featured sun-dried tomatoes, yellow peppers, sliced fennel and cucumber, hard-boiled egg, and croutons.
All of it drizzled by a pesto herb oil (photo: https://bit.ly/3CXhDul). Pretty delicious considering it was a snack bar next to the visitors center. OK, now what... oh, look at that gelato selection, very impressive (photo: https://bit.ly/3qbkGHP). Alas, we both went for our primary weakness, the Softis (soft-serve in a cone), and a so-called medium was 50 NOK ($5 US)) (photo: https://bit.ly/3TFIwJf). Decadently creamy with a complete coating of chopped nuts and such a bargain by Norwegian tourist bait standards. Geez, we better stop finding more stuff to eat during our wait time. Is it time for our train yet?
FOOD - 4 stars...both the salad and the softis hit the spot in different ways
AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...really just a casual snack bar in a bigger building
SERVICE - 3.5 stars...dutifully executed
TOTAL - 4 stars...a good bite or three on your way in or out of Flam
