Lovely place. We spent around 1.5 hours walking around the outside area. Accessible by car/bus, ~15-20 mins from Ålesund city center.

Living History in a Lovely and Peaceful Setting To visit Sunnmore Open-Air Museum you’ll need to make your way up to charming Alesund, a worthwhile stop for many reasons! The museum boasts a truly wonderful presentation of Norwegian history, and was to us much more enjoyable than the thorough but somewhat overwhelming Folk Museum in Oslo. The grounds at Sunnmore are meticulously kept. The strategic layout of the historic buildings plus thoughtful landscaping takes full advantage of the sun and lakes, offering endless back-lit, dreamy Norwegian vistas from every angle. The nearby mountains were still snow-capped during our visit, adding to the folktale atmosphere. Be sure to walk over to the church, but be respectful that this is a cemetery still in use. Note: there is handicapped parking close to the museum. Alesund is easily reached by air from anywhere in Norway. Rent a car at the small and efficient airport and begin exploring. There are many fantastic towns like Andalsnes within easy driving distance of Alesund. This region is worth far more exploring than one stop on a cruise ship itinerary can ever give you.

I went in the weekdays and it’s really relaxing for leisure walk/ hike. The park itself doesn’t have much guide but the paths are clear enough to lead you to all the key areas. The exhibits/ houses well displayed and demonstrated how the Norwegian live in the past. Quite an interesting place to explore.

Excellent museum with information in English as well as Norwegian. Massive area. You could spend half a day easily.

Nice. We were there after 17:00...but could walk outside and still enjoy it. Cosy place with good info about object. With busstop near entrance

Nice, open aired museum with "recent" historical houses from all over the area moved to the place.

Beautiful outdoor museum. Very cute little houses, you can see how people lived there. A lot of interesting history of Norwegian life. There is an exhibition of small and large boats. You can easily spend an hour or two there walking outside, watching the lake and flowers.

Fascinating place well worth the fee I eneter3d through the art exhibition and was confused but found my way to the Art Nouveau furniture after a while. I loved all of it. Do not miss this gem . There is asoi a cafe, but I didn't get a chance to try that

Small, but very nicely organized museum, in a historic building with interesting collection of Art Nouveau objects and temporary exhibitions. My favorite were all of the interactive experiences, telling visually with the old photos and videos and narrated by currently lived people the story of the fire in 1904, what it meant for the country and how the town was rebuild. Another interesting narrated experience is about the Art Nouveau in general, what did it mean for Europe, why it happened and how it effected social structures of the society. It was the only thing which works on Sunday, plus it’s a nice place to spend couple of hours in a rainy day.

Spotted this a a possible thing to do on a cold snowy Sunday when we only had a few hours in Ålesund. It is a delightful little museum some lovely enamelartifacts, furniture and other examples, including some printing examples of the Art Nouveau including bound volumes of Ibsen. There is a delightful time capsule with one of the clips being Nixon shouting "I'm not a crook" very amusing when considering current politics. The retelling of rhe city's fire is so close to home as Los Angeles burns on the other side of the world. It is worth a visit!

A lovely museum. Lots of beautiful exhibits. Helpful staff. Norwegian buns in the cafe are scrummy!

A well presented museum of art nouveau and the history of the fire in Alessund.

Charming museum with an impressive collection of art nouveau objects/history. Worth a visit.

Very interesting museum. Well worth a visit when you are in Alesund.

Visited this place whilst on our cruise. Easy access via concrete paths with wheelchair wide doors. Everything here is easy for wheelchair users and buggies. Payment by cash or card. Welcome with a smile and helpful advice. Also good disabled parking at the front door. All floors are solid and easy gradients to navigate. There is so much information at this place to take in. The fish tanks were all clear and clean and very easy to see the fish etc. Outside there were the penguins and the otter tanks which were a delight to see. There was also a massive tank with seals in. Inside was a lovely cafe with a choice of very tasty cakes and sandwiches. It was spotless to and nice and airy. The toilets were very clean and access to the Disabled toilet was on the flat and very good access with big doors.

Atlantic Sea-Park is an incredible experience! The aquariums are beautifully designed and give you a close-up view of Norway’s fascinating marine life. The outdoor areas are stunning, with seals, penguins, and otters in spacious natural settings. Everything feels well-organized, family-friendly, and educational — perfect for kids and adults alike. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. A must-visit if you’re anywhere near Ålesund!

A Great Aquarium We were taken to the Aquarium as part of a tour from the cruise ship. It was a lovely sunny day and there is plenty to see outside as well as inside. They have otters, seals and penguins (lovely!) and the keeper did a great talk about the otters in English. In fact all the staff spoke very good English. There are some great views outside as well. Plenty for children to do both inside and outside so a good place to visit as a family. Inside there are various sized glass tanks and a viewing tunnel where you can see the fish etc. There is also a large open top tank where you can look over and watch the various sea life. Lots of interactive activities for both children and adults. There is a great cafe too which had lovely cakes and food! Again the staff here spoke very good English. There is a shop with various souvenirs etc. Good clean toilets. The Aquarium is well worth a visit and we would like to go again one day.

This is a great aquarium and a must visit if you are in the area. There are a variety of exhibits and you’ll learn so much about the sea creatures of Norway and beyond! We loved watching various fish swim freely through the large tanks and listening to their knowledgeable staff give presentations on the animals (they spoke in both Norwegian and English, great for us foreign visitors!). Watching the diver hand-feed a whole bunch of fish is their large tank was very impressive.

Best aquarium I’ve been to! Talks were educational and interesting, as well as super cute! Loved the otters and penguins, you can tell they’re really cared for. If you’re in the area please go and support this wonderful place, I wish we had this in the UK, I’d be there all the time!

Very well designed with lots of tanks to see the sea life and tons of interactive exhibits for the kids and adults to enjoy. Plus the Cafe was wonderful too!! Enjoy!!

Great park for the whole family! Very educational! Lots of big fish in aquariums, stingrays you can pet like cats! There is a beautiful area outside with penguins, otters and sea lions.

Arrived by ship for the day, on a Sunday, so nothing open, but free to get into the viewing area. We walked up the slopes and 418 steps, but the town Road Train for tourists takes you up. Wrll worth it, great panoramic views.

So place was closed and had been for several months reading the feedbacks. Ok so a bit of a climb and when you get to the top the best view allegedly is from the cafe/restaurant. All closed so they charge NOK100 for the privilege ... Damn cheek really 😕 however some poor man paid and couldn't get through the barrier ... it's has been broken for ages yet they still STEAL the money 💰 and no view 😳. However walk up behind and the best place is marked a super view and nothing in the way ie ... trees bushes or large steel structure at the top. Oh by the way if there's a cruise ship in port be prepared for a "Locust Swarm" vying for the best views 😢 and the worst trait as we found with cuise locust was jam blocking 🚫 the path up and down taking several hundred selfie's. Our miss fortune was that we had 2 bloody cruise ships MSC Euribia & MS Rotterdam with 10,473 passengers spoiling the view.

The views were amazing. We had a sandwich, slush and a beer. The service was great. If you consume too use the restroom. We had our sandwich on the upper terrace where the views are amazing but windy.

Unfortunately this place was closed when we arrived. The views were amazing, but I would think the views from the restaurant would have been even better. I really would have liked to try this restaurant.

We climbed the 418 steps up to Fjellstua and it was worth every step. The views are stunning from the platform of the restaurant. We just had some cake and coffee but should have planned it better because the restaurant and food were very inviting. But the views really are to die for.

The place is not very aesthetically pleasing and it feels a bit like a canteen but they have gluten free cake and the coffee is good :)

Cafe wasn't open , so this review is based purely on the views, which are spectacular . If walking, then it's 418 steps and a number of slopes. However, there is plenty of seating on the way up to catch your breath and then lose it again when you see the wonderous views. I believe the land train train which tours alesund does go up here, I'm not sure on other forms of local transport. One way or another do get here its beautiful

A total rip off. The whole point of visiting was for the view and the cafe. The cafe was closed ( we got there about 11.30 am on a Wednesday) and consequently no toilets so check to see if they cafe is open before you go. The view point was open but 100 NOK ( about £7.50) which is a complete rip off in my opinion as you can see just as much from the view points outside of the Building. The views are stunning but beware there are no toilets other than the ones in the cafe.

Very beautiful! There’s a free viewpoint just a few steps behind the paid one. The free viewpoint with a picnic table is perfect! A great activity with a stunning view of the city. There’s also a café where you can enjoy the view from indoors.

One of the the most beautiful towns we visited on our cruise. The trip to the mountains summit is a must with fantastic views. The land train has a really informative audio guide of the towns locations and history. There are some really interesting buildings and walks. The people are friendly and very helpful.

Well worth the 418 step climb to the top for the fabulous view of Alesund and beyond.

Beautiful view of the Alesund itself. You can roam around and get a great view from almost all directions.

Beautiful view of the city, it’s lovely and cozy!

Great views, very windy.

Brilliant museum with some really interesting exhibits. The staff were really friendly and gave lots of information about the area.

Aalesunds Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Ålesund’s rich history, from the devastating 1904 fire to the city’s unique Art Nouveau rebirth. The exhibits are well-organized, with engaging photos, models, and artifacts that bring the maritime and cultural heritage to life. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the building itself is a piece of history. A small but captivating museum that perfectly captures Ålesund’s spirit.

Small but complete just enough to give good representation of the period. We enjoyed it

Interesting about the history of the town and especially the Spanish connection.

Really interesting collection of items that reflect this towns history and areas beyond. Recommended definitely.

A small but interesting Museum I especially liked the photogrophy display with the old cameras and photographs

A lovely little museum well worth a visit.

XL Diner came recommended by everyone and it did not disappoint. The location in atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. We had a great table by the window for a wonderful view while we had dinner. The food was first class. We finally got to try some Bagalou. We went with the Royal Bagalao with Saffron Mussels starter. Both were excellent!

Food was incredible and MASSIVE portions (sadly I still ate everything because it was too good to leave!) service was impeccable. We were over 3 hours late to our reservations and the restaurant was full and the chef still made space for us. The view is gorgeous too. While the prices aren’t necessarily cheap, it is a GREAT price for what you get, the quality of the food, the taste, and the view. I would highly recommend!

We dined there recently for dinner. Had a lovely time and food was excellent. Was quite busy (one table of over 18) so our waitress was distracted and service suffered a little. Definitely try if you’re in Alesund.

good food and good service! gets quite busy so would recommend making a reservation. staff was very attentive and also kind enough to let us order one royal bacalao set when it's usually meant for more! all were so tasty (maybe a tad too salty if i had to nitpick) and we loved the fish soup too

The restaurant was packed but I managed to get a seat. They treated me very well even though I was by myself. I wasn’t very into eating bacalao - I’m prejudiced when it comes to fish (wanting it fresh). But this is amazing! I’d totally eat it again. They changed my mind with regard to bacalao. And the seafood soup is the best I’ve had in my life (i do not say this lightly - I eat all over the world making one big trip around the world each year and I take food seriously giving many sensational places 2/5). I will come back one day!

Nice place where you can taste good food in a beautiful environment. The view is amazing, good music and good service We’ve tried several plates and all of them were excellent.

The food was delicious, every plate we ordered was great. The food was perfectly seasoned and presented. Chef Roar is absolutely the best. He is the life of the place. He talked to us and explained many things about bacalao and other Norwegian dishes. He brought a salted cod to the table to show and explain details on it, then he brought a bacalao book that explained even more details. Amazing, thank you!

Our 7 course meal was a wonderful and delicious experience. We appreciate the informative staff of our courses and their local origin. The food and drink were exceptional! The evening sun at the windows gave a perfect atmosphere.

The menu here is seasonal and our expected dishes weren't available. They had instead a multi course meal, fixed price meal. We're generally an unadventurous family when it comes to food choices, but this was AMAZING! Our server incredibly attentive and the chef, Jonathan was an artist. They all had such pride in each dish and not a single dish disappointed! This was our best dining experience not just in Alesund, but to date. We highly recommend and whether you're an adventurous eater or not, trust the chef! Every course was art.

The best meal we had in Norway. A commitment to using local, fresh produce and seafood. Our server pointed out the boat from our window that had caught the langoustine we ate. We tried the tasting menu to get a bit of everything. Worth it. We loved the crab and salmon the most. The seared minke whale was an interesting dish. Like venison and liver. Our highest recommendation.

True culinary experience with a friendly and knowledgable staff!!! Thanks Marcelo and Silje and the magicians in the kitchen for a unforgettable evening! ☺️🫶

Seriously one of the best dining experiences of my life. Delicious and creative food explained very well by the wait staff. The chef went out of their way to modify my wifes plates to accomadate her corn and egg allergies. AMAZING!

Super location and cosy atmosphere. Food is very tasty and frest. High quality and good value for your money. Friendly and experienced staff.

My fish and chips, came beautifully plated looking unexpected. The fish itself was tasty, fresh and of good quality. It came pared with one of the best side of fries I’ve ever had, extremely crispy and creamy at once; spiced perfectly. Take the crispy fish and chips and combine them with the sweet pea mash and the sweet fennel, contrasted by the sour carrots. Accompanied by a dip, made up from mustard, mayonnaise, dill and pees (assumptions), that was just refreshing, perfectly balanced and tasteful. The fish soup was tasty, fruity and nicely balanced with spices. The bowl came filled with a lot of fish and mussels. Alongside the soup came a few pieces of crispy and moist bread, as the waiter described it - the fish soup was heavenly and the fish and chips were fantastic. The service was kind and accommodating, all spoke perfectly fine English and tried their best with the other customers who didn’t. The restaurant is peacefully located of the Main Street, inside the Harbour area. The modern design harmonized beautifully with the traditional surroundings; allowing you to lean back for a hour and to enjoy your meal. The price was fair.

Jugendstilsenteret og KUBE is a fascinating blend of art, architecture, and history in Ålesund. The museum beautifully showcases the city’s Art Nouveau heritage through interactive exhibits and stunning design details. KUBE adds a contemporary edge, with thought-provoking modern art that contrasts nicely with the historical setting. The staff are friendly, the building itself is an artwork, and the view from the upper floors is lovely—a must-visit for architecture and art lovers alike.

Beautiful art nouveau building with an interesting display and movie on Norways's Jungenstil movement. Also, all the other displays and exhibits were set up beautifully with detailed descriptions in English. Really enjoyed our visit here!!

Very much enjoyed this gem of a museum, the innovative Time Machine (also in English if required) gave us a great insight into the area's history. The helpful team kindly rejigged the art nouveau history slide shows to also play in English. The downstairs display indicating the battles to preserve the local architecture were familiar, whatever country you are from. Coffee and biscuits available. A short walk from the cruise terminal.

I understood Art Nouveau much better after this illuminating trip. The whole building itself is a work of art and more immersive than expected. Lovely staff, quirky and honesty box run cafe, owls everywhere. It's as if a fantasy elf designed an apothecary and living quarters. The art museum attached wasn't that great tho but included in the price.

What a wonderful museum! I love small niche museums and this one is great. Architecturally significant for its Art Nouveau design. There is a great collection of enamels; things like teaspoons, decorative items, other tableware. There is some furniture from the era. And the front entrance is a former pharmacy with all the drawers. And be sure to look for the owls

Interesting museum. The time machine described the fire and reconstruction nicely. The top portion was only a house with affluent furnishings (but I have no idea about the significance of who lived here).

Beautiful..... A very nice old place in Alesund. Worth for a short stay, also the nice museum.

So glad we stopped here for lunch. Had the most delicious hot sandwiches which were packed full of flavour. Wish we could have the same lunch options on our cruise ship. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Will seek this cafe out if we are ever visiting Alesund again.

Great menu Friendly staff and excellent coffee - short walk from cruise terminal - had pastrami toasted sandwich - delicious

Came here for lunch with my wife on our Norway trip. I had the chicken wrap and my wife had the salad with chicken. The wrap had a sauce that had a bit of a curry flavor to it but it was quite good. The salad was large and also thoroughly enjoyed! We would definitely eat here and again and recommend it.

Small deli with a quiet atmosphere perfect for lunch or an early afternoon snack. We split the Serrano & Manchego cold sandwich; the bread was soft and the sandwich flavorful. Staff was extremely friendly.

I'm a tourist off the cruise ship, and the coffee was terrible on board. I'm so happy we found this awesome place that does real coffee and cake! The service is outstanding

Best sandwich ever. The dessert was delicious as well. Recommend if you are in Alesund.

Found this little gem on our way back to the ship and decided to stop in for lunch. Great sandwiches, friendly employees and an excellent latte. Their pasta salads looked amazing, but didn’t get a chance to try any.

Had a great dinner at Sjøbua tonight! Perhaps the best fish I have had in a very long time. Main dishes are around 450 nok. Make sure you make a reservation, it was fully booked when we went.

One of our final meals during our 2.5-week trip through Scandinavia was at Sjøbua, where we treated ourselves to the tasting menu—and we are so glad we did. It was absolutely mind-blowing. The service was among the best we’ve ever experienced (and we dine out often), making the entire evening a pleasure from start to finish. The setting is beautiful, the food is exquisite, and every dish felt thoughtfully and artfully curated. For a date night, it was everything we could have wished for. If you’re a fine dining lover, this restaurant is an absolute must. We had a lovely time and would definitely return if ever we are in town again.

Such a beautiful authentic historical setting and lovely service. Food was very highly priced for the quality. Parker rolls with smoked butter was outstanding- would have ordered the seafood platter but at 850Kn a person it was not reasonable. The cheese cart offering was also very small proportions for 320Kn a person. Just felt everything was overpriced and we have been in Norway two weeks already so are used to higher prices.

Excellent dinner. Exquisite and sophisticated flavors for a special dining experience. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I was really looking forward to eat from this restaurant, as I was told that it's better than Apotekergata No. 5. But the food we had was underperformed. They were very salty, totally out of balance. Even when we told them that the lobster bisque was very salty, the other dishes came as salty. We had the sampling menu. In the end, we were glad that we didn't order individual dishes. The bread was not bad. It helped when the soup was unbearably salty. But I would say the lobster tail was fresh. The sampling order: The shrimp sashimi appetiser was not bad. The second best, if I have to rank the whole dinner, for its freshness. The next dish, lobster was mashy. Halibut was dry and didn't have the taste of fish. The sides and sauce for the quail were like drinking seawater. Quail was prepared nicely but tasteless as the sauce was too salty to go with. Best dish of this sampling was the dessert, which unfortunately, I didn't take a photo of it. The servers were helpful and polite, and service was good.

Booked this place near our hotel for a special dinner, early sitting. Nice decor with spectacular outlook onto the water. Polite staff but the menu wasn’t explained to us at all and they kept asking if we were ready to order. The table next to us got a detailed explanation of the menu and recommendations so it was clear we didn’t get the full explanation. We started with a couple of cocktails and caviar (why not) which were very pleasant. Caviar was served with brioche which I personally thought a bit too much and prefer blini and more simple flavour, it also came with cream and wild garlic oil and fish shavings which was quite nice. Sommelier was quite helpful with selecting a good Riesling off the menu. We had the langoustine and beef tartare which were both fantastic. They topped the entrees with caviar (black label) as well which was a nice touch. For the mains we had the dry aged turbot and this was so salty it was simply inedible. The best part of the dish was the single spear of white asparagus. The fried kale on top of the side greens was so oily and salty as well. The meal was going quite well until then so it was a huge disappointment and a letdown. We gave the feedback to the waitstaff, they acknowledged it and thanked us for the feedback but that was it. If our mains were edible I would have given this place a better rating. On this experience I cannot recommend or see myself returning.

A truly wonderful evening! Food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. A special highlight was the chef presenting the cheese selection herself, sharing her knowledge and passion for each variety. Thank you for this memorable experience!

One word: wow! Absolutely recommended to dine here. Worth every single penny! Great seasonal menu based on local ingredients. Cozy vibes and wonderful staff service. The food was super delicious with many creative combinations in each dish. Reservation is required since it is busy.

Lovely spot overlooking the harbour, cancels highlight the atmosphere of this whole building which has separate areas for bar and restaurant. One of our best meals here, cabbage was amazing, best I’ve ever had. Others dishes slido good

You can't fault this place - absolutely amazing experience for us: the food was cooked to perfection, full of flavours and beatifully presented, the wines were great and the service was warm, welcoming and attentive but not disturbing. The ambience is also nice, with dimmed lights and low noise level to comfortably talk. I can easily recommend this for someone spending a few days in Ålesund and willing to have a pleasant and relaxing dining experience.

A restaurant that belongs to Brosundet hotel in Ålesund Norway. The chef knows its job. Any meal I had there was absolutely incredible. The flavors are so well balanced and the crayfish was the best prepared fish I’ve ever eaten in my life so far. I’ve tried crayfish and later red fish (on two occasions). Also, do not miss the cauliflower stake with bacon powder and truffles.

Great cuisine and wonderful staff equals a perfect culinary experience. Reservation is recommended, as walk-ins may expect limited time slots. Our waiter was very helpful, especially with the wine choice. It was the best restaurant we visited in Ålesund.

Visited here for the chef tasting menu and wine pairing. While I love trying new foods from other cultures, sometimes you can get scared by the names of the dishes or what is put in front of you. While this happened to me, I did try everything, and I cleaned every plate! The food was so good! The wines were all paired perfectly (I did not like the wine served with dessert but that's a me thing, I don't care of the bubbles). The king fish, served in brown butter and soy was amazing. The monk fish in a lobster bisque...wow. Lamb was amazing as was the light dessert that had rhubarb, white chocolate and the delicious foam made from yogurt and cheese. Sometimes you got to just say f**k it and trust the chef. I'm glad I did.

I had a light lunch with salads and traditional open-bread toasts outside in an existing floating platform over the channel/ fjord. The food was very good. Service was normal to slow, but efficient. The restaurant’s room inside is very unappealing and dark - nobody sit there. Maybe at night the atmosphere is different.

Had a nice dinner there last week. Everybody in our company was satisfied. I took the trout which was really good! Good service and a really nice view of the beautiful Ålesund guest harbour.

We had lunch in this restaurant and we liked the bacalao so much that we decided to repeat again. However, the second time the service wasn’t so good, we were waiting a long time to order and it was a bit caothic. Besides, there was a problem with tap water in the city, so we ordered mineral water instead. However, we saw the waiter full the bottle in from a big jug and the taste was quite weird. I doubt it was “mineral”. The food is quite good but the service should be improved.

Get the codfish plate. The fish has Superior level quality. The kind you get in Lisbon. Snowy white meat and perfectly cooked as well. Top shelf stuff 👍

Just by the lake, lovely indoor and outdoor setting. Food and drinks were served quick and tastes amazing. Staff very friendly. Recommend the Annoburger- the best burger I have ever had!!

Great place in a fantastic location. The food arrived promptly and tasted great. Portions are large! Staff was very friendly and courteous.

I had a lovely experience at Anno Restaurant in Norway. The location is perfect, with a beautiful and upscale atmosphere that makes it feel like a special dining spot — yet still welcoming and comfortable. We didn’t have a reservation and they seemed quite busy, so I was really grateful they were able to accommodate me and my mom on short notice. The frites were absolutely delicious, crispy and golden, and the sauce they came with was so flavorful — I could’ve eaten a whole plate just of those! I also ordered the mushroom pasta, which was so good I couldn’t finish it in one sitting and had to take the rest to go so I could enjoy it later. Rich, savory, and perfectly cooked. Overall, a wonderful meal with great service. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Delicious Norwegian food served here. Nice and cosy ambience too. The fish soup is milky and flavourful. The ingredients in the soup, fish and shrimps were so fresh. The focaccia with chicken was just as good too. This restaurant is self-service except for the dishes ordered. As for coffee, you can give this place a miss.

Zuuma in Ålesund offers a truly delightful sushi experience. The quality of the fish is top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The variety on the menu caters to both traditional sushi lovers and those looking for creative fusion rolls. The atmosphere is stylish and welcoming, and the service is attentive and friendly. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Ålesund, Zuuma is definitely worth a stop for some of the best sushi in town. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful dining experience at Zuuma, a must-visit spot for sushi lovers. The food was exceptionally fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented, almost like edible pieces of art. The atmosphere was cozy, and we really enjoyed pairing our meal with warm sake and a refreshing cherry juice. One small downside is that the food takes a while to arrive. For locals or those with plenty of time, this is not an issue, but for cruise ship passengers with only a few hours to explore Ålesund, a faster service would make the experience even better. I also highly recommend trying their salmon soup, which was delicious and perfectly balanced – a great complement to the sushi menu. Overall, Zuuma is an excellent choice if you’re looking for authentic, fresh sushi served with elegance – truly a memorable culinary experience in Ålesund.

I really enjoyed the beautifully served sushi and the delicate desserts. Foods seems being made with great care and actually they tasted good. To be honest, I never expected to find good sushi in Alesund. However, the sake prices were quite shocking. A bottle that costs around €7 in Japan was being sold for €100 here. I understand that prices in Norway are generally high, but this difference felt a bit unreasonable.

Delicious sushi with the freshest fish you’ll have! They fit our family of 6 in without reservation but the place was packed! The portions were good size and everything we tried was delicious. The Japo roll everyone’s favorite! Would definitely recommend and we would love to come back on our next visit to Alesund!

Great sushi! I was recommended the rainbow roll and it was very fresh and delicious. The menu is very extensive and has a lot of non-fish options too, if fish isn't your thing.

I came to Åslund from Japan for sightseeing and stopped by Zuma. The staff were very friendly and the sushi was delicious. The miso soup was completely different from Japanese miso soup, but it's fine if you think of it as Norwegian miso soup.

Great dinner location off the water . Super fresh sushi and sashimi! We had ribs and pork boa bun too. Only regret was not ordering more haha. Nice servers. Fast service overall. I’m

When we travel, we enjoy visiting local breweries and trying their beers. This place had it all. It was very modern, inviting and had a great ambience. It was a large brewery with plenty of seating with open windows to look out and to enjoy the view of the harbor. They had some areas with very comfortable seating that was available and we were lucky to sit there. They also offered some games to play if you like. We wanted to try the beers so we ordered flights of beers and they were large size flights and they had many selections. We ordered food, we had a burger and their wings, and both were very good and the Staff was very friendly. You can order from the bar and they will deliver your order to your table and they also have people coming around to check on you. Service was fast and very friendly. Our experience here was enjoyable and very relaxing. I will absolutely recommend this place.

A restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Tried several kinds of beef burgers and two types of chips. Taste is fine but not the best. Prices are a bit high.

We were able to try this great place as they normally are not open on Monday but since the cruise ship was in, they decided to open up. Did a flight which be warned are good sized pours. They have 25 beers that are brewed on site. Other liquor and non alcohol drinks. No food during our visit due to normally being closed which was fine with us. No shortage of food on the cruise. 😉 That is why no rating on food. If in town, suggest you stop in. Staff was awesome. Environment is awesome.

Don’t come here for the food. It is an award-winning place for its brew selections, and was featured in the local newspaper for the recognition. But if you’re looking for quality/value for money from a food perspective, I’d recommend going elsewhere. A gastro-pub looking place, with the food selection just ok. Our party of five had the Mexican burgers, the Chicken ones and the patatas bravas and fries. The burgers don’t come with fries, and they try to make you order a fries per person despite it being a separate menu item (duplicitous sevice irks me). Despite the European size servings, the burgers tasted just ok - not juicy and tender meat and if you didn’t have all the accoutrements like guacamole or nacho or saucy bits, the meat was just ok. People probably mainly come here to drink not eat. The atmosphere was cool - shuffle board games at 4kr a minute — I don’t know of many places that charge by the minute — but hey.. and the locals obv come to hang out in this chic setting. But don’t come for the food as we did. You’ll not be too satisfied. Gastro pub looking place which is really just a pub.

Amazing draft craft beer choice for about 10 euros for one beer. Good to be close to your cruise ship and try many varieties of beer

I didn't try the food but the beer was good. They offer a "plank" of 4 beers for around 300 NOK depending on the beer strength - you pay a bit more for any over 5% ABV :) very friendly service too.

I had a couple of beers. Both good, big choice, I told the barman what type of beer I prefer and he made great recommendations, I did not try the food

Really chill and relaxed place to enjoy an amazing burger in Alesund! We meandered the town after the cruise ships left and found this wonderful spot to our liking. My wife is vegetarian and LOVED the Pineapple Express burger. I got the Bob's Burger and was equally as excited to eat it; so much flavor! Highly recommended as its one of the best burgers I've ever had!

This is the best burger I've ever had. The burgers are all made fresh, even the buns are hand made by them. We tried Bob's burger, the blue cheese burger and the spicy burger and all of them were fantastic. Flavours were strong with nuances that you can appreciate, and it's quite a huge burger as well! I've been in Norway for about half a year now, and the food has not wowed me until now. I did not expect to find this gem here. Please visit!!! Bobby was extremely kind and warm to us, and carefully explained all the menu items and gave recommendations too. He was simply the best!!! Students also get a 10% discount when providing a student ID as proof.

A cool place for a quick meal and a good alternative to fancy restaurants in the area, if you'd like to have something simpler. Burgers were delicious and juicy. The pineapple one had a really nice twist to it.

An excellent burger cooked to perfection with a large choice of customisations. A decent milkshake and fries to complete the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Recommended

The Bob’s Burger is definitely one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. The owner was extremely friendly and gave me a couple tips as a tourist. It’s a great vibe, the servings are huge and truly delicious!

Best burgers in Ålesund!!! Service was also great. Worth a visit!

Delicious burger and great service! We loved the Bob Burger, it was amazing. The fries with garlic dipping were also really good. The waitress was super nice and patient with us, and the ambience is super cozy. Would recommend without a doubt

The food was really good — we had fish soup, sushi, and a salad, and everything tasted great. But the service was a bit off. Our order was taken wrong, we had to ask three times for a glass of wine, and the “vegetarian” salad came with salmon. They fixed it, but it took a while, and my soup got cold while we waited since I didn’t want to eat before everyone else. Awesome food, just wish the service had been smoother.

Wonderfully cooked and presented food. The fish soup was exceptional, as was the sushi. A very nice upmarket atmosphere with good tentative service. Recommended

The food exceeded our expectations. Everything was tasty and fresh: the fish soup, the shrimp sandwich, and the bacalao. They also sell their own bread and foccacia, which I also recommend.

The food was really good and the service was very friendly. Our tour guide recommended it and it tuned out to be delicious. 10/10

Delicious! We had mussels, clipfish and fish soup and everything was perfect.

Nice place to have some typical salmon or sushi. Friendly waiters and decent food, portions could be slightly bigger and with more veggies

We wanted a seafood restaurant for dinner and this fitted the bill. We get great fish and chips at home in Scotland so looking for Norwegian dishes. It was busy when we arrived but there are seats upstairs as well as down, so don’t be put off if downstairs looks full. We did manage to get a table downstairs which was cleared and cleaned for us. The waitress was friendly and efficient and we quickly ordered drinks as she put water on the table. We chose two starters each as these were the dished we preferred. Unfortunately, the understanding that soup first, other dishes later didn’t reach the kitchen and we got them all together. Fish soup was loaded with seafood, the lobster bisque was more delicate as you would expect. We quickly started our crayfish and scallops starters too, which we supplemented with sweet potato fries. It was all lovely, thoroughly enjoyed it. The place remained busy all the time we were there. Being down at the sea front, it would be easy to miss this place, well worth seeking out.

Orsta Volda Airport is a small, functional airport with limited facilities. It lacks a food court, which may inconvenience travelers looking for dining options. The airport's size contributes to a more personal and less crowded experience, but it also means fewer amenities and services compared to larger airports. Overall, it's a straightforward airport primarily serving the needs of those traveling to and from the Orsta Volda region.

Friendly and efficient staff, no food serving.

Tiny airport with no restaurant or a cafeteria or anything. Fast and efficient, boarding 15 min prior departure.

Small and cozy terminal. Helpful staff and clean toilets.

Cosy small airport for flights within Norway. Buses are close to get to nearest cities.

Small, clean airport. TSA is strict for a regional airport.

Ørsta-Volda was an spectacular Airport with great staff, hills in the background and a beautiful airstrip.

Small airport that is quick and easy to get in and out. Efficient. They have a couple of shops in there. One travel shop had some souvenirs that were same price or cheaper than the big shops in town. Of course, the variety was far less but prices are good.

Small and comfy Airport, can get very busy in mornings and afternoons, with shuttle bus to city center of Ålesund. Trouble free place and friendly customer service.. Norwegian and Sas mostly fly here with almost 10 flights per day to Oslo and back!

Its a small airport, insanely easy to understand and get thru, a few coffee shops here and there, not too many people. Again, easy to navigate and wait for departure

Clean small simple uncomplicated airport Small planes In and out in a few minutes It can get rough during winter Summer is cool It is located on the island of Vigra in Giske Municipality and features a 2,314-meter (7,592 ft) runway aligned 07/25. The airport served 1,077,209 passengers in 2013, making it the tenth-busiest airport in Norway Norway isn’t a large country you see

Hard to beat the small airport experience. Check in and drop bags up to 30 minutes before the flight on Widerøe. Security is a breeze.

Great small airport I came here a few times for work to go to some fish factories in the region. I really enjoyed Alesund Airport as it has all the amenities you can expect from an small airport, like small souvenir boutique, and a café. The greatest thing though was you can arrive rather late to check in and still be okay, the security is also very easy & fast. The airport is also pretty close to town center. Overall great five star experience for me.

Small airport. We reached 2 and half hours before to see it deserted. Seems like there are not enough staff available. There were no staff available for us to do manual check-in. Almost everyone checked in by themselves including check in luggages. We found one duty free shop and a restaurant after check in. Car rentals available within the airport, but make sure you reserve it before. There may not be staffs to give you service otherwise. Good toilet facilities. Public transport too is not great . Less frequent connection by public transport to the airport. The city centre is around 20min by taxi and public transport takes 30min to 1hour.We took a local bus which was going near the airport entrance. Check fly bus timetable to make sure you reach airport in time. Taxis are easily available in town centre to go to the airport. However, not sure the other way around.
