Just to give you a heads-up on your own packaged Norway adventure, Flåm and Geiranger are the two…read morevillages in which you'll spend an inordinate amount of time because they are the tourist hubs of the most picturesque fjords in Norway. Geiranger is the smaller of the two with only 250 residents, but it's Norway's third largest cruise ship port. It definitely felt like it when Jamie W. and I were there during a two-hour stop on our fjord cruise from Ålesund (review: https://bit.ly/3ckj0Zb). Beyond looking at the torrent that courses through town, we didn't much to do but eat. Options were pretty limited unless you want a hot dog. Like real bad. This cafe is on the main pedestrian walkway between the campground parking and the cruise ship terminal, and we weren't that hopeful of its quality based on its prime location. It was also drawing a lot of loudish tourists from various nations, and they weren't mindful of either the noise they were making or the excessive space they were taking. It was enough to test the limits of my butt-clenching abilities. However, we were pretty delighted by what we ordered and shared. First up was the 190 NOK ($19.30) Ham & Cheese Sandwich, generously portioned on a baguette with cucumber slices bringing fresh crunch (photo: https://bit.ly/3QHsgWn). Then there was the 280 NOK ($28.50) Dagens Suppe (Soup of the Day), a spicy and creamy carrot soup topped with toasted croutons and scallions (photo: https://bit.ly/3R363BP). Yes, it was like a school cafeteria lunch but a really well done one. We were pleased because we had a 3-1/2-hour boat ride back to Ålesund, and we didn't want no stinkin' hot dog. FOOD - 4 stars...surprisingly satisfying ham & cheese baguette sandwich and spicy carrot soup AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...well-kept to keep the tourists under control SERVICE - 4 stars...quite polite considering how rude some customers were TOTAL - 4 stars...if you're ever in Geiranger, this may be your best bet for a quick bite RELATED - Exploring Norway?

"A neighboring clan went on the attack, And stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back."…read more Coco-Yam Song, Mountain Goats In a hamlet where the ratio of goats to people is 5:1, you are more likely to find grazing grounds than habitats for human grazing. But no need to get bucky! You won't have to get down on all fours and forage for your fiber along the mountainsides, unless that's what floats your goat. Instead, herd yourself to the Underdal Fjordkafe to chew the cud and ruminate over your travel plans while waiting for the return ferry to Flam. The café has the most unbelievable views one could dream up from the seating area on the deck as it faces the fjords, mountains, and falls. You won't likely see any goats sitting at the tables around you, but you never know...you just might meet a Billy! One of the café's specialties is reindeer meatballs (apologies to Dasher and Dancer), but we could only salivate over others' plates as the cafe had just closed for dinner by the time we arrived. Baaaaad timing on our parts, but luckily their ice cream stand was still open, along with refreshments for sale. With mini ice cream cups in hand and grumbling stomachs, we hungrily asked those at the neighboring table if their meatballs tasted good. They answered, "Totes ma goats!" There is a bathroom way in the back through the attached Eldhuset Museum...we were told we would be on the right trail when we passed the giant goat poster. This goat must have the right stuff that separates the sheep from the goats to be picked out of 500 as the poster boy! Right next to the café is the Underdal Brygge, where you alert the ferry to stop by turning on a flashing yellow light. Don't wait until the last pickup time if you can help it, because the ferry never came for the last call. Luckily the café has wifi, albeit quite spotty, so that we could get a hold of a taxi service to take us back to Flam. 4 hooves in the air for the view alone (5 if I had a fifth), a "meh-eh-eh" for the ice cream, and one head ram for our late arrival.

Good, but nothing special and didn't seem to have as much spices as I expect in a bratwurst. Perhaps they're custom designed for blander Norwegian tongues. Great little spot so long as no one is smoking nearby. (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)
