As our first stop in Norway, this was a very cool bar in Lillehammer that served some interesting…read morelocal Norwegian food. The area surrounding the bar is actually very beautiful and a nice place to take a stroll and the bar itself is cozy and well suited to seat parties of multiple sizes. Food-wise the prices were pretty decent (from an American perspective). I ended up trying the moose burger and it was well worth a try. The actual meat is slightly gamey--not as satisfying as a beef patty, but the mix of the cranberry jam (or some sort of berry jam?) they put on the burger actually mixed very well with the overall dish. Overall a satisfying experience.

I have been to several European, subterranean restaurants In my travels, this has to have been the best steakhouse that I have been to outside of the United States. The service was wonderful and the food was par excellent. I give this establishment very high praise and recommendations. I am presently wheelchair bound so I don't know whether they have a suitable means to accommodate my condition presently, since ch as an elevator/ lift between levels. I hope to visit again once the pandemic recedes this is a business worthy of making sure they survive the current challenge s.

The history of this building is quite interesting, but that was about it…read more The selection was a little bit limited, so the expectations were that the food must rock big time. Unfortunately, it did not! My wife's duck was dry and it didn't really work with the sweat potatoes that came with it. My burger was on the soggy side and the cow was still mooing. Ok they didn't even asked how I like it cooked. So serve it raw, yeah why not. Starters were ok, the beer too. Service personnel was nice but lagged in attention.

Hvelvet is always good foods and great service. This time my…read moreHalibut was really overcooked and dry. Very surprising as usually they cook everything perfect. I should of sent it back ~ i hate complaining! Next time i will send back. I asked for more truffled aioli that came with 2 tiny pieces of dry bread to start (aioli needed to make bread edible.) so very kind server brought me another bowl of aioli which i put the whole thing on the halibut to make it more palatable.. the smoked char tartar was delicately smoked and a beautiful presentation ~ was not served with any toast or crackers which was sorely needed and lovely server Edyta brought me some crisp rye toasts that should of been served with the tartar. Delicious appetizer. A perfect evening, service was impeccable and Edyta was professional, caring, knowledgeable and made me an absolute perfect dry gin martini with just a tiny splash of vermouth (my request for just a splash) it was perfect. Her kindness and attentiveness to anything i needed was well received! She was by far the best server with welcoming smile that i ever have had at Hvelvet. Tusen Takk Edyta. The brunost ice cream was the star of the evening.

I am from States and love a good burger. While visiting Norway on vacation for two weeks, I found…read morethis place through Yelp and I'm glad I did. I tried a burger at 4 other places during my trip. Two in Oslo, one in Hamar, and two Lillehammer. Brooklyn Burger Joint was by far the best I had and is also better than most places stateside. I ordered the "menu", which is what they call a meal deal. Burger, fries, and a soda. My choice was the classic with cheese and bacon. The size was perfect and the flavor was outstanding. The fries tasted great and there were more than I could finish. The only thing I think could be a bit better is the ventilation, but that's a tough battle when you're slingin burgers.

The meat is fresh not frozen and not pre madd garbage. The Bun tastes like a potato roll and holds up, even with juice dripping. Cooked medium with a little pink and still juicy. Char grilled flavor evident and delicious. I had a single with cheese. (For some reason Norwegians prefer no cheese! ) Americans love cheese and we invented the burger for a good reason! CheeseBurgers Rock!! I only wish they would add Jarlsberg cheese, cheddar good and you need to offer, but this is Norway, add Jarlsberg as an option. I did not get fries~ they looked good and fried crispy, but i think they were frozen not fresh. I may try next time, just to let you know. The cook is Thai? And she knows how to cook a burger! Go here. Great price for Norway. Where most burgers are $20 to $25 or more!! This single burger with cheese was $14 USD. Bit pricy but compared to the $25 burgers, this one beats them hands down!!

Although the place is tiny there's a nice selection of olives and other small bites - or tapas as the they're referred to even in this non-Spanish speaking part of the world - the perfect accompaniments to wine and drinks at your next get together. Our visit to Lillehammer was during the summer when the sun seem to spin and barely set behind the mountains for a couple of hours of dusk-darkness, and were lucky enough to spend a beautiful night drinking wine and sampling olives at the tables out front alongside a party of gorgeous Norwegian girls - all friends of the establishment. Highly recommended;)

Service was efficient and with a smile by two beautiful and accommodating Norwegian ladies who - although busy - were happy to answer our questions about the food as well as about this beautiful little Norwegian town. Lykkelige Dager (correctly translated to Happy Days) is open six days a week from 9am to 5pm and is a great place to stop by to pick up a healthy lunch or for a take out dinner. Everything is prepared fresh and from high quality ingredients. We highly recommend a visit. Parking can be difficult at times in downtown Lillehammer but there's a parking lot (metered as is everywhere in town) up the hill and behind the larger building.
