If you're staying overnight in Flam, which is the usual requirement in a Norway in a Nutshell…read morepackage, you will find yourself with a dilemma - where do you go for dinner in a village with less than 400 people? You could go to the only other hotel in Flam, the Fretheim, and graze on their dinner buffet. Maybe you could go to the supermarket before it closes, pick up something microwaveable, knock on the door of a local resident, and hope they invite you in to cook it. I probably wouldn't suggest this option. Or you could come here, a restaurant called Flamstova with an actual dinner menu. It was fairly empty except for a few people Jamie W. and I recognized from our Fjord Safari adventure (review: https://bit.ly/3pfKm5E). No starters or appetizers for us this time, just main courses. Jamie went for the 295 NOK ($30.40) Herb Marinated Chicken Breast which came with broccoli and fresh herbs, a green risotto, and a parmesan sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3CvbfKX). The chicken was tender albeit on the small side. However, the risotto was too mushy and the parmesan was creamy overkill. I ordered the 310 NOK ($31.90) Pork Cheeks Marinated in Aegir Beer. I fared better with the marinated red cabbage, beetroot coulis, potato purée, and jus (photo: https://bit.ly/3Ce8LjD). It wasn't as saucy as Jamie's dish, and I was pleased. I would just say it wasn't extraordinary dining, but hey, you can't afford to be picky in Flam during the evening hours. It wasn't like we could've ordered tacos or dim sum from GrubHub. FOOD - 3 stars...nice try at fine dining but the sauces were excessive and the portions a bit small AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...darkened you indicate formality SERVICE - 3.5 stars...serviceable TOTAL - 3 stars..,now you know you can have dinner at a restaurant in Flam RELATED - Exploring Norway?

A few things to note: -Minestrone soup was extremely salty. It could have been the fact that bacon was added to it. -Vegan burger was on the greasy side and didn't taste great. Also, the fries had no taste. -The fish and chips were good and the best option on the menu. I wouldn't have high expectations for this place, but as I mentioned, it gets the job done.

One of the most bizzare things I've seen on my travels…read more.. This bakery is inside the Aquarium...I know its off season, but everything was run by a one person...one nice lady whom is baking the goods, serving the goods, cashiering the goods, cleaning the tables, selling tickets to the aquarium, feeding the fish, and god only knows what else! (What happens when she calls in sick?) The beautiful pastries all looked lovely, but quite pricey by American standards...then again, I don't recall seeing any wheat fields while traveling through Norway. 28kr/$3.75 for most of donuts, I just couldn't bring myself to pay that. I got some sort of tomato pastry which tasty and healthier(I think) for 24kr/$3.20. Coffee was pricey too, but standard for Norway at 30kr/$4. Afterwards, of course, we went to the Aquarium... (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago)

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!

Food: We ordered 2 pizzas, the Margherita and Pizza salame. They were both very delicious!…read moreConsidered more as a flat pizza in my opinion, the crusts were crispy and the flavors were absolutely amazing! The portion could be considered 'personal' but a little larger than your standard personal pie! Cost: The prices were a little steep in my opinion, however, as a traveler I do know Norway is considered more expensive and so taking that into account, I want to say that the price here was average. Environment: The theme here encompassed an 'Italian' theme- absolutely loved the olive trees that were used to decorate the restaurant. It had a very classic/cozy vibe and made the experience that much better! Service: Absolutely A+! I just want to say that the service and hospitality they provided for my boyfriend and I was amazing! We were traveling late into the night and decided to quickly stop by to grab some warm food/bite to eat, however, we were misinformed that the restaurant would be opened until 12 because upon or arrival around 10PM, the restaurant was closing down. We quickly asked if the kitchen was open and to our surprise, even though our waiter told us the kitchen was cleaning up, he actually went out of his way to look into seeing if they can whip us up some pizza quickly! We were absolutely so grateful because we were starving after a long day of driving/traveling! Uniqueness: The environment and service that this place provides would be the unique aspect of this restaurant! The decorations were absolutely beautiful and I would love to come back here if I were to ever come by the area when visiting Norway again!

Tip: stash luggage in the self-service lockers just outside the visitor center; they are quite deep, and was able to get quite a large back to fit in one and two overhead carry-ons in another.
