This upscale restaurant is part of a hotel and some distance from the center of Geilo. The bar and…read morethe hotel check-in seem to be together--an interesting concept if true. The food menu is small, but more than adequate. One of us had a burger, which was thick in every sense, making it hard to get your mouth around, but very good. Another had the Croque Monseiur which was good, but not to be compared to those in France. The third had a club sandwich and said it was excellent. Service was good, although it was almost an hour from when we walked in until food was on the table.

While we didn't have any of their main entrees (which look really great by the way...and also really expensive), we did have their tomato soup which was flavored with lots of bacon. And who doesn't love bacon? They also have Hansa beer on draft. Service was good as well as the environment, which reminded me of a french bistro with a rustic twist. 4 stars.

It is a ski town after all. Service was quick fast, the coffee barista made and nice. Didn't have a meal just coffee and cake, cakes were very naughty (in a good way), freshly made and didn't taste like they had been sitting around for a while which was good. Had the Oreo cake (oh my god) and my friend had the carrot cake which was much lighter. Definitely recommend dropping by!

We were seated very quickly (we would have collapsed otherwise), asked for the drinks (hot teas, what else would fit a Norwegian pizzeria?), and left to our own devices (menus, translated in riot-English). It took us the good part of a femto-second to decide to create our own, so there you have it - - how could I rate at less than five stars my own product (bar the actual labor)? Oh, am we loved the interior, which combined old Norwegian skating and skiing gear with, you guessed it, US and Canadian snow gear. Overall, we loved it and heartily recommend it. Peppe the Norwegian!

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!

Restaurant Arven has it all. Delicious food. Amazing staff. Beautiful views. Wonderful atmosphere. My rundown: -Kristine (our waitress) was absolutely wonderful. She was patient, kind and accommodating. -The champagne and wine selection was top notch. -The bread was fresh, soft and flavorful. -The vegetarian plate and salad that was prepared for me by the chef was beyond delicious. The vegetables and greens were extremely fresh. -I was told that the cod was cooked to perfection and tasted like it had been caught within hours of being cooked. -The leak and potato soup was light yet flavorful. -The desserts were wonderful. If I had to choose between the white chocolate soup and the creme brûlée, I would pick the white chocolate soup. Overall, I loved this restaurant. If you are in Flam and want to enjoy a nice dinner, stop by at this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Wifi is not reliable, but this is a remote area, and be aware of that. Since it is usually not very warm, there is no air conditioning. In the summer for a few weeks, they also have pesky non-biting flies, so you cannot open your windows too wide. Staff was very cheerful, and helpful. Location is right next door to the train station, so you should not have any problems walking with your luggage to the hotel. Be aware there are a few steps to get into the lobby, and your room may be down a flight of stairs. I do not believe they have an elevator. Overall, a little rustic, but a stunning setting, and a wonderful place!
