Supermarket near the cruise pier and train station (between the playground and the parking lot)…read more This was the same size supermarket as we found in Oslo. It had everything we were looking for: fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, ham, cheese, crackers, cookies, chips, candy, paper plates, disposable flatware. We noted they also have full camping supplies including primus fuel. Beer was not on sale as it was Sunday morning (see section with green covers). Prices were reasonable. Very helpful to be able to stock up with some basic food and snacks.

By coincidence we were next to two Norwegians and they commented that they thought they must be the only Norwegians in the restaurant. But they agreed that the food and beer were truly wonderful. I tried the Viking platter with the beer tastings and each dish was so incredible. It's pricey but was so worth it and really fun. Thank you! Highly recommended (but be ready for wild prices and lots of tourists!).

We were dropped off in Gudvangen to catch our Fjord cruise. Our Guide encouraged us to spend our…read more1/2 hour either exploring or grabbing a snack vs standing in line and waiting to board-good advice. We walked around and crossed the bridge to the Viking Village. Clouds were thick so we missed the Fjord views. We walked back and headed to the Cafe which was the only one (I believe) in this area. Lodge decor and atmosphere, rustic with wood throughout-wish we had more time to hang out. Long line as everyone had the same idea. Not enough time for coffee so we ordered pastries. Chocolate Croissant, mini donuts and a Danish. All were tasty and hit the much needed snack spot. They also offer pizza. Service was friendly/quick and met the urgency given the queue. Make this stop when in Gudvangen!

Excellent. Also ordered the baked salmon ("Laks" in norwegian) and finger potatoes which was a nice sized portion, had perfect seasoning and again cooked the correct amount. I would try one of their pizzas next time. A fresh pour of the pilsner on tap was the perfect temperature. They also had a nice locally made and bottled apple cider. Very friendly folks too! Asked about some advice in returning my rental car in Voss followed by a quick run to the train station and the owner called up his friend who works at Hertz in Voss who was willing to allow me to just drop my car next to the train station. I felt better to drop it at the Hertz location at 8am and he offered to run me over to catch my train at 9. Folks in Norway are amazingly kind! Tasty and Friendly, I'd be back here and recommend you give them a shot! Note their hours are pretty limited during the week. I think they closed at 6pm. but weekend hours were longer. Your food options are very limited in Ulvik (other than the hotel restaurants) so plan ahead.

This…read moresupermarket in a small town like this doesn't close till 11pm on a Wednesday in June which is quite impressive! It's located very close to the train station, no more than a 10 min walk. The store carries what a regular supermarket carries and it is not just for tourists. They have grab and go sandwiches, yogurt, even pre made Starbucks coffee! And many more breakfast/lunch items if you're on a budget. Also you can find all kinds of toiletries and even zip lock bags and foil. Many times you can find Norwegian or in general Scandinavian confectionery and snacks here which can make excellent souvenirs for your family and friends without being suckered at the tourist gift shops! The cashier is very friendly too. She actually said hello and bye to is which is not normal outside of the US lol. If you pay by cash, hand her the bills and put the coins into the red machine in front of you at the check out. Guess it's better and more efficient than rolling up coins for deposit! P.S. They charge 10 kr for a plastic bag but it's a good quality bag, not those Safeway ones where they break before you get home...

Whatever you call Norway's beloved, brown, caramel-like cheese, and whichever way you slice it, you can grab your own hunka cheese and other tomatoes/tomahtahs at Underdalsbui/Naerbutikken. Take a cue from Timer and fashion a wagon wheel from cheesy bits while you're at it! Underdalsbui is like the Oleson's Mercantile of Underdal, sans Harriet and Nels, or Willie stealing candy on the sly. It is the only general store in this isolated fishing village where you can mail your postcards, pick up some souvenirs, get your groceries, and best of all, check out a vintage Hüsker Dü poster (rock band from Saint Paul, MN)! It is also the spot to sample and buy some local goat sausage, along with white and brown goat cheese for lunch or an afternoon snack . Underdal brown cheese is the iconic rock star of Norwegian Geitost, so go ahead and snap some cheesy selfies in homage (or in fromage) ...you might even get photobombed by one of the 500 local goats! "Oh hey there, goat!" The salty white Underdal cheese is also a winner, taking "Best Cheese of the Year in Norway in 2011 and 2012--toss that in your cart as well. I like to imagine that Underdalsbui is run by a big cheese similar to Ramone from "The Proposal"...someone who also officiates weddings, waits tables, and smashes karaoke in his free time...but has the last name of Underdal. Because everyone living there has a last name of Underdal. Everyone. That is in fact why we came to visit the village, because my great grandfather came from there, changing his last name from Underdal upon arrival in the US. The extreme isolation of the village is what caused many people to leave in search of better lives over the years (the population is currently around 100, not including the goats), but has also left the landscape of the village to remain largely unchanged. We felt like we were seeing the village almost in almost exactly the same condition as when my great grandfather grew up there. Underdals have lived here for centuries, breeding goats and producing cheese, with some farmers still migrating with their goats and cheese equipment to three different mountain farms over a single summer! Wow! Still today brown cheese is made by hand in the traditional way. The whey is boiled in a copper vat over a wood fire until the lactose sugar caramelizes and the whey thickens. It really makes you appreciate that brown cheese atop a heart-shaped Norwegian waffle when you think of all the hard labor involved in making it. Add this village to your itinerary for a step back in time, and visit Underdalsbui while you're there--you'll be "grateful" you did. If you come during Norway's largest brown cheese festival, you might even get to celebrate with some GOAT BINGO!
