The pizzas are large and made fresh in house! The environment is very homey feeling and the food is definitely outstanding! I definitely recommend this place for the pizza!

Goddag!! Headed here, desperate for an evening of proper Norwegian food, looked nice enough from…read moreoutside, and looked like the most likely place not to just try and serve us pizza and chips from the slim pickings in the quiet town (come on Facebook, this is certainly not a city!) Surprised to be greeted by an awkwardly dated (not in the most cosy, pleasant ways) British pub feel, with mismatched furniture, mainly dating from the 60s to 80s, and not kept in the best repair. I quickly felt bad for judging the pessimistic reviewer on trip advisor, and realised he was completely right, it was a reheat job. I headed to the bar, which was stocked in the basic, but decent enough fashion you'd expect a small pub to be, to grab menus for us, as my Norwegian was better. They had both Norwegian and English menus printed, but could only offer is pizza or lasagna off the menu. With these choices and a view of the dead looking kitchen, we declined food here in the end, had a round of drinks out of politeness and got to talking in the odd oyster shaped velvet chairs that fell out of in the dark shadows... Not my bag for food, but it'll do. I must note, that despite our humoured disappointment (all part of the adventure!) the bar staff were absolutely lovely.

Cafe Souvenir in Urke is really the most stunning location I have ever had a coffee in. It is…read morenestled in the Norwegian Fjords. You of course don't come here for fancy coffee but it has black coffee and some yummy home baked waffles and cakes. The owner is very sweet and the cafe has this typical small town feel to it, except this one is with million dollar views! You can easily spend a couple hours here basking in the sun listening to the birds and the sheep graze. Dont forget to bring a nice camera and you will never forget this place. :)

What a pleasant surprise to find a Texas influenced cafe in the Norwegian countryside. My wife had…read morehomemade pulled pork and I had a BLT on freshly baked beer bread. Both were amazing. When I ordered tea I received a full pot which completely won me over. Everything was done with attention and care and the owner, Belinda and her husband were as kind and attentive as you could ask for. If you are in the area, this is a must.

Lyst was recommended to us by our Airbnb host. We were in search of some good Norwegian staples and…read moreLyst delivered. The ambiance upon walking in is up scale casual. All tables were full, so we waited about 15 minutes to sit down. Upon sitting, our server immediately brought water. The menus are already on the table with entrees described in both Norwegian and English. Two of us ordered the Lyst Bacalao Gryte and two of us ordered the Gratinert Torsk and we ordered the fish soup and shrimp and seafood salad. All four items were delightful. The Bacalao is a traditional and popular food item in Ålesund. The cod was perfectly cooked in a tomato broth with vegetables and potato purée. The Torsk was also cod but served gratin with vegetables and bacon. The soup was rich and creamy and the salad was lighter, with crisp lettuce covered in small shrimp and smoked salmon. We left with full bellies, completely delighted by the food. Having eaten many places, I think this restaurant is in my top 10-15 restaurants ever! A MUST try when in Ålesund!!!

I ordered the fish and chips based on the server's recommendation and it was food, nothing spectacular, but that is what I expected. My co-traveler had the Tex-mex (taco) salad and really liked her meal. I had been feeling excellent this entire trip until about 2 hours after this meal and then the vomiting started. It's now 8am and I am empty and feeling good again, but definitely won't be back. The funny thing was that the woman at the next table ordered it right after me and was told it was out, so where did they find mine? The atmosphere is casual and very nice, the servers were great. I don't like to write bad reviews, but when I get this sick so soon after I need to let them and others know.
