Stopped by this restaurant on the way to Sogndal. If you enter from the entrance by the counter,…read morethe smell of wood fire from the fireplace will greet you. There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Depending where you sit, you can get a pretty view of the mountains.
BrimiBue did not have a menu in English available, but the staff were able to translate what they were serving. They had specials for the day, which on the day we visited, it was Taco Friday (Tacofredag). The menu was not extensive, but there were some vegetarian options. They also had a few desserts, which we did not try. Besides food, they sell a variety of items, such as teas, hand and body cream, and different kinds of jams, including cloudberries. Beverages offered are juices, beer, wine, and self-served water.
We ordered the moose smørbrød (elgkarbonade) and the potato and celeriac leaves soup. We shared both foods and the meal was satisfying. However, the food did come with bread and butter, so if it weren't for that, we may have been a little bit more hungry.
The moose smørbrød was a thick piece of bread, layered first with a spread mixture of sour cream and mustard, then greens, the moose pattie, sauteed onions and cherry tomatoes, sweet lingonberries, and finally, garnished with a generous amount of cress herbs. It was lip-smacking good. I savored every bite.
The potato and celeriac leaves soup was simple, yet so delicious. It's essentially a pureed mixture of potatoes, celeriac leaves, seasoned with salt and pepper, with a touch of truffle oil, small pieces of fried onions, and garnished with a few croutons and cress herbs. The soup was perfect for a cold windy day.
The soup was served with thick bread slices and a special kind of butter that looked like it had seeds in it. The butter was so good, I could have eaten a pound of this in one sitting. I wished I could have taken more of this butter home with me.
This restaurant is a must stop if you're in Lom!
