Fantastic experience! We went around 6 PM – no queues at all. The weather was beautiful, and the ride up is super exciting. It only takes about 5 minutes, but the feeling of height is incredible. This was my first time here, but I’ll definitely be back soon. We also went for a walk at the top and enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant. Excellent service and top-class facilities. Highly recommended for everyone to visit!

Absolutely has to be done if you are in the area. We arrived at the start of the day and very misty but managed to see some stunning views as well as experience the lift with amazing views. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing. Words cannot describe the views from the top of this skylift. Simply wonderful. If you go to Olden this is an absolute must.

The Loen Skylift takes you up quickly. Up there you will enjoy many amazing viewpoints, with amazing scenery. It is also recommended to hike up there for extra viewpoints.

Fantastic views, even on a cloudy/rainy day. The top of Loen skylift is a few degrees colder than the ground but there are plenty of hiking trails and activities to keep you warm and get the adrenalin rush. The cafe is the bar inside the restaurant where you can order delicious cakes and hot chocolate, yummy.

Fantastic trip to do when visiting the area. Seemed to be long queues earlier in the day. Part of our pre booked trip took us to other beauty spots further away and then came back to it around 3pm and there were no queues at all. The lift itself is a great experience in itself. Not for people with a fear of heights or vertigo , it's a very steep climb. The views from the top are stunning as is the landscape and surroundings. There are multiple places for great photo opportunities, toilets , gift shop , some coffee and cakes and then what seemed to be a very nice restaurant. Bit of a queue to get back down , worth considering if you need to be back at the cruise port. It's was much colder and wetter at the top so dress accordingly.

Wow, wow, wow. If you're heading to Olden, this is something you simply have to do. Would recommend booking directly through them (if on a cruise, you can book Shuttle bus + Skylift tickets at the dock), as you'll save time and money. The earlier the better - We got on a shuttle bus at 09:15, and we were up at the summit before 10:00am. Skip the queues!

Beautifully located between the mountains, this place offers a peaceful and serene atmosphere with easy access to nearby areas. The common spaces were exceptionally clean, and the owners were incredibly welcoming and kind, making the stay even more enjoyable.

Parked here for one night in our camper van. The location by the fjord was very nice. However, by late season the hedges are overgrown and limit your view. The WiFi was very limited no matter where you were. The bathrooms were clean AND MODERN. Showers were free. Washing machine with dryer for a costs. Power was free. The kitchen was modern with plenty of additional amenities (soap, sponges, towels, water kettle, etc). The water point was non-operational for the hose was duct taped and had no pressure. All the water was lost to the leak. The website is nice for it shows what each spot looks like and their views.

Great camping in the Stryn area. Very nice camping spot for our car with a roof tent. Clean toilets and showers. Also great to have a shared kitchen (need to bring your own pots and pans). Friendly staff with some nice recommentions for the Stryn area

We had the pleasure of enjoying: - A warm and welcoming receptionist - A sauna with panoramic views over Lake Strynsvatn, including towels - Beautiful, modern sanitary facilities with wonderful showers (at no extra charge) The best we had on our trip in Scandinavia. - A pitch with a view over the lake and electricity (at no extra charge) And we left with: - Clean, dry laundry - A well-rested feeling - A full water tank - A big smile :) Thank you!

Stayed here with my husband and 2 doggies for a long weekend in July. We both agreed that the facilities on the campsite are some of the best we have experienced - clean showers and toilets with plenty of hot water. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. All the common areas were neat and tidy. The site was suitable for dogs and seemed great fun for children with a park and swimming spot nearby.

Wonderful camping to enjoy fiord Innivik, go to the via ferrara in Loen, up to the skylift and trekking on the top of Hoven. All very clean and very nice family owner.

Staff was very friendly, sauna on the lake was incredible, and facilities were spotless!

Very nice spot, you can stay few hours, maybe you can swim, there is a Cafe, restaurant and a souvenir shop

A small beautiful center situated by lake Oppstryn and surrounded by dramatic mountains. Interesting botanical garden to learn about some native plants, trees, and flowers that represent the local flora and amazing people to inform you about the area. (Last year's photos)

Nice place to visit. The best is the views you get from there.

Informative place in a lovely lakeside setting

Amazingly friendly staff who'll happily give advice and help you out. This place also has a nice exhibition and all the information you'll need before visiting glaciers. There is also a nice selection of maps here. As well as a nice cafe and useful facilities. Big thumbs up! Go here first!

As it was my birthday while we were in the are Mrs Mono kindly bought me a helicopter flight over the national park, mountains, lakes and fjords which offered breathtaking views of everything in the area, but especially the Jostedal Glacier. For security reasons, we weren't allowed to fly directly over the glacier, but we got as close as possible, and I would recommend this extra without a doubt - I would have sacrificed dinner and drinks were it a question of money - a once in a lifetime experience!

It was a little small, but it was nice. Also nice souvenirs and a great movie about this Fjord, which’s also in the Dutch language available. Lovely people working here and the garden outside was also nice with a great view.

I absolutely loved my stay at this campsite! Cabin 10, The location is breathtaking, surrounded by stunning mountains, lakes with clear water. The site is well-maintained, clean, and offers just the right balance between comfort and a true outdoor experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed how quiet and relaxing the area. I’ll definitely be coming back again

Wonderful stay with amazing hosts! We stayed in “Hytte 6”, a simple cabin, but very clean, well-maintained, and with everything we needed. You bring your own bedding (which we knew in advance), and we especially enjoyed the veranda thanks to the great weather. It even had an oven, perfect for baking fresh rolls in the morning! The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, from the friendly email contact before our stay to going above and beyond on site. She even lent me a pan from her own kitchen so I could make pancakes, and he got up at 5:30 in the morning to help start my car so I could catch the ferry to Denmark. A small tip: adding a drying line on the veranda and a traditional cooking pan would make the cabin even better. Highly recommended, not just for the facilities, but for the warm, personal touch of the hosts.

Very nice campsite with beautiful view over the lake. We had a place directly at the water. We put our car parallel to the waterside, but the owner lady came shouting that we should place it perpendicular. Oke, no problem, but why get so angry? First time in Norway that we got such a bad treatment (and we were in Norway 3 times before). We will not be back on this site.

We camped in a tent and were pleasantly surprised by how spotless the sanitary facilities were — everything smelled fresh and was cleaned regularly. The staff were very welcoming and polite, always around if you needed anything. The location is absolutely stunning — surrounded by mountains, with a magical lake nearby and even a view of a glacier in the distance. The whole area is calm and perfect for nature lovers. We loved every moment of it!

The views from the campsite was stunning! In between the mountains, waterfall and the water. A quiet place with clean infrastructure. Has a washing machine and a dryer and 2 places to cook. Showering in included in the price.

The owner was aggressive from the moment we arrived, without any clear reason. At first, we assumed she might be having a bad day and chose not to take it personally. However, things escalated when she came into the kitchen and rudely demanded that we remove our food immediately. We calmly explained that we were in the middle of cleaning and would take everything out shortly. Despite this, she continued shouting for no reason. It was so unpleasant that even other guests came to us afterward to apologize for her behavior and reassured us that not all Norwegians behave like that.

We originally planned to stay just one night, but we enjoyed it so much that we ended up staying three nights instead. Beautiful location, peaceful atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!”

We spent one night there and it was really awesome, the camping is really nice and the owners are very friendly. We paid 475 NOK for a small 3-person cabin, it costed just 50NOK more than the place for tent. The facilities are well renovated and maintained, everything was there!

Incredibly comfortable place in a great location. We slept in a tent and it was great to cook and wash in the shared facilities, which were really clean and functional. I will definitely come here again.

What a scenery from the camping site! Breathtaking, perfect for families, perfect for camping. A need to see for everyone.

Stunning lakeside location but seriously overcrowded during peak season. The facilities simply can't handle the number of people they accept. Main facilities are at the hilltop requiring a long walk from lakeside pitches - very inconvenient for toilet trips. All showers use push-button timers that last only seconds. With so many people, you can expect some mess. Someone left toilet doors open overnight making the shower area freezing cold, and the kitchen became a complete mess. Arrived at 1 PM to find them "fully booked" (first time on our trip), but they offered us "spot number 0" next to pitch 1 - apparently on land they don't normally use due to potential landslide risk! 😂 Then they squeezed another tent right next to us anyway.

Incredibly nice and chill owners, the kitchen is more equipped than my house, insane view, if I could give 6 stars I would.

One of the very best places to visit. Wonderful views, good amenities and great service. Thanks

Stopped here to rent paddle boards. Amazing experience. Then swam in lake and used sauna.

For a motorcycle rider, going in here and going out the same way, is twice the experience. A unique valley, a unique lake. Just let yourself be immersed in the wonderful nature.

I was expecting more... Yes, the lake is beautiful, the turquoise water is mesmerizing. But it is a very inconvenient road (one lane for two directions of cars), as well as very crowded during the season, places need to be booked very, very in advance. Overrated. There are much more beautiful and free lakes nearby

This is probably the most beautiful spot of your trip! Plenty of camping opportunities and enchanting scenery!

My favourite place in Norway. I lived there for two years and I was still amazed every day. Lot of hikes, and lot of places to visit around. In summer beautiful turquoise water. I think this is most beautiful place in whole Norway.

Campings require reservation

Hidden gem of a lake, just off the beaten track but accessible by car (20 min drive from Loen). It did not only exceed our expectations but ran circles even around Geirangerfjord which was overran by tourists, whilst here we could enjoy the awe-inspiring views in solitude.

Absolutly breathtaking. Definitly a must see on your trip though norway. What a magical place. You can't believe this is real, unless you see it. Choose a sunny day, because the sun makes the lake glow. The first two pictures were made early in the morning. The last after the sun was up. There are a lot of camping sites with showers and toiletts, i recommend using them (around 250 NOK). We could't find a free and flat camping spot, that was not directly on the street, where you really don't want to park and most area around the camping sites is privat property with not camping shields. You can rent small rowing boats or kajaks at different camp sites, check in advance.

Finally got close to a glacier after we had to abort the hike to a different glacier due to bad weather. It was really amazing view and also sad to know that the glacier is getting melted every year. There is a toll road to reach the closer parking lot.

Amazing place, definitely worth visiting! Waterfalls and the glacier with splendid lake!

I enjoyed this short hike a lot. It's not strenuous at all, I saw some pregnant women walking it, at least to the end of unpaved road. Plus a lot of other people on bikes or by foot got just there. After that you continue walking on the rocks, till you get to the glacier. One disadvantage is that the paths on the rocks are not marked, neither clearly visible. You usually just walk wherever it's feasible for you. So better take some good hiking shoes. No tickets to enter the place needed. Also the parking lot at the beginning of the train was free of charge.

You‘ll have to pay 100NOK or 200NOK (camper) to go there, but absolutely worth it if the weathet is good! Drive to the end of the gravel road to the parking spot. There is a gravel footpath 400m to a patform. But don‘t stopt there! Put on some good shoes and walk the natural stony trail even further to the glacier. It starts next to the empty red metal sign. The trail takes you 10-15min (one road) to the river. Best for fotos is before noon when the sun is not yet there. But also good with the sun just harder to make good fotos. The restaurant down the road on the lake only serves warm food starting at 1PM, no vegetarian options.

What a nice surprise. The view is just amazing. Highly recommended.

Amazing place. Definitely worth the drive and short hike.

Amazing views. Easy walk to the fot of the mountain with beautiful views of the glacier. Well worth the trip.

The food was okay and the cups are plastic, but the prices are quite high for the quality. If you want to sit by the window, you’ll need to reserve in advance, though the view is still visible from most of the other tables. The service was decent, but not particularly warm. The location is definitely the highlight if you’re not hungry, you might just enjoy the view from the viewpoint above the restaurant instead.

This restaurant possibly has the best panorama in the world! At the top of the Louen Sky Lift on Mt. Hoven it serves delicious and fabulously presented Norwegian specialities as well as family favourites. We wanted to try dishes from the area and Justin could not have been more helpful with his excellent suggestions. He was extremely welcoming and professional. The views are spectacular and somewhere not to be missed on a visit to Olden.

I visited Hoven on 17 August 2025 and was deeply disappointed by the poor attitude of the reception. Their bad attitude and the face of “I don’t care” made me feel unwelcome and ruined my experience. I expected better from a place known for Norway. This behavior needs to be addressed to ensure other customers don’t have a similar experience. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements.

Very nice view, tables available. Waiter gave our dog water bowl when we asked for it. Pizza was good, vege cabbage a little bit too mild.

I order dear burger did not suit me and pasta very good and lamp meat was very good

After climbing Via Ferrata Loen, we rewarded ourselves with a meal at the mountaintop restaurant. The view was unbeatable, and the food — though a bit experimental — definitely held up. A great way to end an epic climb!

Reservations recommended. Recommend the salad, pizza and reindeer mince. Service was also good.

The staff of this hotel were exceptionally hospitable and professional. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. The views were among the most breathtaking we experienced during our entire Norway trip. Highly recommended — the value you receive here far exceeds the cost of the stay.

We slept in the separate building for 3 nights. The location is stunning on the water's edge. The breakfast is very good. Lorenz was patient and answered all our requests and questions. The location is excellent for the Geirangerfjord and the glacier. the room is a bit small but it was OK .

This hotel is an absolute gem in this area. We stayed in the motel next to the main building, and our experience was very smooth and pleasant. The room had everything we needed, including a small hairdryer. The shower water pressure was great, and we could enjoy a lovely view of the water from the small patio. Breakfast was very nice, and you can even take coffee and some snacks to go for a fee about 140 Swedish Kronas - such a thoughtful detail! We took sandwiches for lunch :)

This hotel was one of our favorite hotels in all of Norway. The location is just breathtaking. Stunning. We wandered around for hours just staring at the lake and the mountains. It was so peaceful it felt unreal. The hotel itself has a bed and breakfast vibe - there was a cozy comfy sitting area with a pool table, books, etc. The room was very clean, it had no TV which at first I thought I was going to die but actually the Wi-Fi was really good so my phone could entertain me when it got dark. The bathroom was very clean and modern. The front desk receptionist (also possibly the manager?) is SO funny and SO nice - in that Norwegian way. We are normally not really social people but man - it was fun to talk to him. The hotel has a free row boat! Turns out I'm terrible at rowing boats but you can't beat the view! You can also rent kayaks on site. The breakfast was delicious!!!

This is a must visit stop for delicious cakes and indescribable views. Simply gorgeous with the cakes to match the scene!! Have to get the cheesecake with the berry topping - unreal! People inside are so friendly and helpful. Lots of outdoor seating at tables overlooking the mountains and lake. Unreal

We stayed in the motel portion that’s not attached to the main hotel and had a wonderful time. Beds were very comfortable, rooms were very clean, staff was extraordinary and the breakfast was divine. Close by there is a short hike to a waterfall that was beautiful. We really enjoyed our quiet little stay here. The red boat is free to use for hotel guests and there was also plenty of parking! We would recommend staying here 100%

I did not stay in the hotel but we wanted to rent kayaks, we looked everywhere around without success, but at Hjelle Hotel they do 😁 Two kayaks and two paddleboards! We tried the kayak, it was 290 nok for 1 kayak 2h, it was super fun. Very easy to rent ! And the lake was beautiful. Really a good spot for a kayak tour

Jostedalsbreen National Park, established in 1991, is located in western Norway and spans 1,310 square kilometers. It is home to Jostedalsbreen, the largest glacier on mainland Europe, which dramatically shapes the park’s terrain of steep valleys, high peaks, and expansive ice fields. --- Landscape & Nature The glacier itself covers about 800 square kilometers. It has many arms extending into lush valleys, with the most famous including Briksdalsbreen, Nigardsbreen, and Austerdalsbreen. The park ranges in elevation from around 350 meters to over 2,000 meters at Brenibba. The powerful contrast between icy blue glaciers and green lowlands makes this park a photographer’s and hiker’s paradise. --- Outdoor Activities Glacier Hiking: Guided hikes on Nigardsbreen and other glacier arms offer a safe and thrilling experience. Crampons and safety gear are typically provided. Hiking Trails: Popular routes include the scenic walk to Briksdalsbreen (3 km roundtrip) through waterfalls and wildflower meadows, and more challenging mountain hikes in Jostedalen. Ski Touring: In spring, ski touring is possible across the glacier. The "Josten på langs" route is a famous multi-day challenge. Kayaking & Rafting: Paddle in glacial lakes or navigate glacier-fed rivers for a close-up look at the power of ice and meltwater. --- Visitor Centers Breheimsenteret (Jostedalen): Located near Nigardsbreen, it provides insights into the glacier's geology, wildlife, and climate. Jostedalsbreen National Park Centre (Oppstryn): Set beside Lake Oppstryn, this center highlights the park’s natural and cultural history. Norwegian Glacier Museum (Fjærland): Features interactive exhibits and the Ulltveit-Moe Climate Centre focused on glaciers and climate change. --- Weather Conditions (May 26, 2025) The park is currently experiencing light rain and temperatures around 3°C. Conditions are cold and wet, so proper rainproof clothing and footwear are essential for all activities. --- Getting There Jostedalsbreen National Park is accessible by car and bus: From Oslo: Drive via E16 to Lærdal, then take Highway 5 toward Sogndal and Fjærland. From Bergen: Take E16 east to Lærdal, then continue on Highway 5. From Trondheim: Follow E6 south to Otta, then take Highway 15 west toward Stryn. Summer buses connect Sogndal to Breheimsenteret and other visitor areas.

My wife and I took a trip to the base of this park, which is really to go and see the glacier off in the distance and the lake and river which flow from it. It was fascinating, as indeed was the visitor centre there, which had very informative films and displays. The trip there back was both beautiful and amazing with the gla ier in the distance, the lake at its foor, and then the torrents of water which flow from it down the valley making for an exciting stretch of water.

The absolute breathtaking beauty

Large national park with many hiking trails leading up to the glaciers. They have guided tours as well as camp sites. Very beautiful landscape, a must see when visiting Norway.

06.2024/ what can be more beautiful than visiting the Kjenndal Glacier Kjenndalsbreen, alone, with nobody around at that time, in an absolute quietness. Amazing experience. We managed to arrive in the area around 19:00 so everything was mysteriously quiet and beautiful calm. We were alone the entire time. Such a quality time! Due to the fact that it is located between two mountain peaks, this glacier it is much more imposing than Briksdal glacier and definitely worth the trip. You can visit the Kjenndal Glacier Kjenndalsbreen at any time of day because the access is automatic through video camera; 70 nok per car

Sensational National Park. You can spend weeks exploring its beauty if the weather is good. You can approach the glacier from almost every side. The campgrounds around are one of the best in Norway. Be prepared that it can get very crowded in the summer months. There are many hidden beautiful trails though if you ask the locals.

Very accessible glacier hikes and beautiful scenery. Many arms accessible from various points at the edges of the park. And at the end of the season mid-Sept felt like we had it all to ourselves with barely anyone around!!

Fun hike and good views! However when you reach the base of the glacier, you actually see less of it. Be sure to take photos when you’re a bit further out (you can do this when returning to the parking lot).

Very nice hike! Moderate, out and back hike, suitable for families and strollers, great viewpoints of waterfalls, the glacier and a small lake. The Glacier gets smaller every year which is sad to see but still worth a visit! Took us about 45 minutes each way.

Must come! If you are lucky, you may accidentally park at the parking lot besides paid parking for free like me😂😂. I would say it is totally worth it. If you have no problem with your health, I recommend you to walk up to the glacier because there are some amazing views along the way. You can easily spend 2 or more hours taking photos and picnic there. The energy of the glacier is just magical. MUST-COME. Easy walk. 30 mins up and 30 mins back in total. Worth it!

Breathtaking! Not a long walk to the glacier, 5k in total. Quicker walking back as it is downhill. So many good photo opportunities. The waterfalls are incredible. Well worth the a visit.

Hiked up to the glacier, very scenic all the way up, you miss a lot if you take the troll cars. A few beautiful waterfalls along the way

Easy family route for all ages. Amazing view of the glaciar and glaciar lake. You can take the troll bus or walk to the view. Path is easy, you can take your trolly and family friendly. We had an amazing time. It was very windy and be prepared to have a raincoat to wear it while going through the waterfall. You will get whet.

This place is a must-visit—especially for cruise travelers. As is typical in Norway, you’ll often see rain and sunshine at the same time, so be sure to dress appropriately. If you purchase a round-trip bus ticket, you can hop on any return bus from the same company regardless of the time.

Nice walk and some hike even with 4 year old traveler. Grab some snacks with you to enjoy the stops on the way. Or you may use a lift service if walking is not available. Some more hiking is available, but we could not afford it with the kid this time :)

This was an experience that we’ll never forget! Definitely worth the hike up, the view is amazing and we loved every second of it. The nature that surrounded us was breathtaking and we appreciated every little thing that we saw. The glacier is amazing and its actually closer than it seems on the photos. The water in the lake is beautiful blue and crystal clear. We can’t recommend this trip enough, and we’d suggest to anyone who can hike up, do it instead of the little little cars that brings you up, because you see more things that way.

We did this hike as a share excursion from a cruise. To walk one way it takes about 45 minutes. The path is gravel, easy to walk, a bit uphill, quite wide (two to three people can fit side-by-side most of the way). A few sets of steps have to be climbed but there are good handrails installed. Alternatively a troll car can be taken for a fee for most of the way but you miss out on some good views. The glacier and the waterfalls you pass are spectacular!

Absolutely stunning! We set off early to beat the crowds & it paid off with only a few people around. Amazing walk past the powerful waterfall & behind you a panoramic view of the mountains topped off in ice & snow! Then you turn a corner & see the impressive ice blue Glacier & finish at the blue lake below it surrounded by massive mountains - it’s pretty special & a must do!

Take your time if you can. Beautiful hike. It kicked my butt going up and down. Might take the troll cars but you miss a bunch of great views.

Absolutely amazing. We went from Olden Cruise port, catching the 115 bus, which only cost £7.15 for a family of 4. The bus left the cruise terminal at 10:05 and took approximately 40 mins to get the start of the walk. Two service buses are available if enough people are waiting at the port. I was with my 5 and 7 year old and they managed the walk up in 40 mins. The path is a compressed gravel path, trainers are more than suitable for the walk. There are a couple of sets of steps, which are fairly simple with good hand rails. Walking is by far the best way to see all the waterfalls and means you see the best of the sights, which are stunning. The walk down takes slightly less time, about 30mins. There are picnic benches along the side of the paths at regular intervals. The service bus waits whilst you are on the glacier and leaves at 13:30, meaning you have plenty of time and cost another £7.15 for two adults and two children on the return journey. There are toilets available at the bottom of the walk on the shop/cafe. Amazing views, amazing value for money, amazing day, amazing photo opportunities! Would definitely go again.

Olden has two main attractions, the Briksdal Glacier (40 minute bus ride from town), and the skylift (10 min ride from town). If you only have time to do one, the glacier hike should be the one. A 45 minute leisurely walk from the parking lot is full of great , rushing waterfall views in every turn, which leads to the glacier and the lake into which it drains. The scenery is just spectacular. There is a public bus that leaves the cruise port at 10AM, which brings you back at 2pm, for only 49 NOK ($5 USD). Ignore all the other more expensive tours and take the public bus. It takes exactly the same amount of time, you see the exact same thing, and you pay significantly and I mean significantly less.

A choice of excursions from buses to the skylift or troll cars, with scenic bus routes and a road train stopping off at various photo opportunity points along the way.... due to weather with low cloud with rain and mist we opted for the toad train, a 50 minute trip stopping off here and there with an interesting commentary pointing out landmarks and points of interest and humorous stories along the way finishing at either the retail outlets or the ship, priced at £26 pp a worthwhile trip catching a glimpse of the glacier. Had the weather been better we would have gone to the sky lift first.

We had a fantastic time on this tour from Olden to the Briksdal Glacier. The tour guide was very friendly, easy to locate at the meeting point, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. We appreciated that we were given plenty of time to enjoy the glacier at our own pace and take in the stunning scenery. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the drive through the beautiful Norwegian countryside was an experience in itself. Our guide shared interesting facts about the area and its history, which really added to the day. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Olden — it’s well organized, stress-free, and a great way to see one of Norway’s natural wonders up close.

We are currently on a 17-day cruise through Norway, and our second stop was the beautiful village of Olden. We booked an excursion to the Briksdal Glacier through Viator, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. As soon as we got off the ship, we were warmly welcomed by guides in bright yellow jackets who made it very easy to find our bus. I want to give a special thank you to our driver, Marius (I hope I am spelling that correctly). He showed such thoughtfulness when he saw our two young daughters and immediately went to get booster seats so they could sit higher and enjoy the views out the window. He was a very safe driver and incredibly kind throughout the trip. Our guide Laura was absolutely excellent. She provided interesting commentary during the bus ride and even offered to join us on the hike to the glacier. She took so many photos for us and made the whole experience even more special. Our seven-year-old daughter completely adored her and just wanted to stay by her side the entire time. Laura was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly gracious. The hike to the Briksdal Glacier was breathtakingly beautiful. Surrounded by waterfalls, towering cliffs, and lush greenery, the entire walk felt like something out of a fairytale. The glacier itself was absolutely stunning and so much fun to explore. Our little girls had the best time running around, skipping along the path, and taking in all the natural beauty. On the way back from the glacier, we stopped at a beautiful lake for about 10 minutes to take photos. It was the perfect spot to pause and enjoy the scenery one more time before heading back. This was a truly special day and one of the highlights of our trip so far. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Olden.

My wife and I took the Briksdal Glacier tour in Olden on one of our cruise stops through Viator, and it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide did a fantastic job providing background and interesting facts about Olden as we made our way to the trailhead for Briksdal Glacier. The hike itself takes about an hour, give or take 15 minutes depending on your pace. There are a few stretches that give your legs/calves a workout, but the effort is absolutely worth it. Along the way, you’ll pass a stunning waterfall that’s both powerful and refreshing, expect to get a misted as you walk by! Once you hit the waterfall, you’re about halfway there or a little more. At the top, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of the glacier spilling into a crystal-clear aqua blue lake filled with floating ice. The 360-degree scenery throughout the hike is simply picturesque, it’s hard not to stop every few steps to take photos or videos. If you enjoy hiking and are physically able, I highly recommend doing the walk. For those who prefer a less strenuous option, there are “troll cars” available that can drive most of the way up. Our guide also made a photo stop at Olden Lake, which offered a spectacular view of the glacier in the background, a nice bonus. This was truly a memorable trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone cruising to or visiting the area!

Stunning scenery, even in not so good weather.

A good company for Olden Glacier. It will be better if they can stop a few view points for photo taking

We booked the tour to the Briksdal glacier. The bus driver was amazing at navigating the short 30 min trip to the park on narrow roads. Our tour guide was friendly and informative and let us explore on our own once we got to the park. The hike to the glacier and waterfalls was wonderful. The scenery is amazing. On the way back, we stopped by Olden lake for a few more pictures. An excellent tour for anyone cruising into Olden.

Go out of season! I went April and it was deserted. Apparently June onwards it becomes full of tourists. I love this area so much.

Very beautiful place. We were the only ones there!!! Highly recommended.

Nicely kept historical farm with views of the fjord and mountains

This is a beautiful area next to the road along Lake Lovatnet , Norway.

A wonderful area and stunning views the sunshine was this day a blessing making for great photographs enjoy.

Beautiful location by the roadside along the fjord.

Just to take a picture, couldn't see / wasn't clear if we could enter or not. So we went back 🤷🏼‍♀️ nothing special.

Wow! It was an amazing experience I completed with my son. We rented the equipment and left at around 530PM. We saw a total of 3 people. Now I would have given it 5 stars if I was in good shape but I haven't worked out for 7 months. Let me just say that if you do this, you must be in excellent shape and have some climbing experience. Otherwise, Via Ferrata will eat you up like it did for someone I know very well, me. My son is the reason I pushed onwards and fought the urge to quit. Oh yeah, once your in it, you cannot just quit, your going all the way to the top.

This wasn’t our first via ferrata, but it was definitely the most challenging and exciting one we’ve done so far! The entire experience was absolutely perfect — thrilling, well-organized, and carried out with great care. A huge thanks to our guide, Rickard, who made the climb not only completely safe but also incredibly fun. He gave us valuable tips along the way and made sure we felt confident at every step. Even during the occasional wait for people ahead of us, Rickard kept the mood light with funny stories and a great sense of humor. Thank you for this unforgettable adventure — and a special thanks again to Rickard!

Unique experience. The ladder is up high, and has a wobble to it as you move. Not for those with fear of bights. Do not underestimate how long it takes to reach this place, we spend a total of 6 hours hiking and climbing (Via Ferrata). If you do not have Via Ferrata experience, definitely go with the guided group.

Loen ferrata is a great experience for everybody with a good basic fitness level. It goes up 1000m, probably 400m-450m of it is hiking, rest climbing. And it offers different routes with varying difficulties of "difficult" - and once you started there's no way back. If you don't want to go with a group (and don't have own equipment with you), be there between 8.00 and 8.30. Alternatively you can rent equipment after 2pm (I think) but given the tour takes a while, I would recommend starting early. Average time to get from the store to the top is said to be about 4-5 hours, but can differ of course based on the route you take, the amount and duration of breaks, waiting times (if you have people on front of you), your own pace... I personally completed the tour in about 3.5hrs. After that, you can continue hiking on top and then either hike back down or take the skylift. Additional note: July 2023, cloudy weather, rained the night before - but no rain during the climb.

I climbed Via Ferrata Loen with my cousin from the US, and he called it the best experience of his life — I couldn’t agree more. The views, the adrenaline, and the sense of achievement are unreal. If you’re visiting Norway and have the physical ability, do it. You won’t regret it.

It was exciting Via Ferrata around 1000m. It is recommended for people that have some climbing experience or with guide. Since we had equipment, we just stopped the store to sign the paper and pay the maintenance fee that was 200nok per person. We parked the car close to the skylift and start walking up to reach to the start point of via ferrata. Then we started climbing till a section reached to the intersection. Last year we tried the normal route (left one) but this year we took the right one that was counted little bit harder. Before continuing I changed my shoes to climbing one and that one really helped me. After that point we reached to the hanging narrow bridge. After little bit more climbing reached to the point that we had two choices passing over cable or you hike up. One of us passed the cable and I hiked up since I afraid of height :)

This Via Ferrata is really beautiful but also demanding. You will need to climb up from the valley. Even the easiest path includes C sections which require good skills. There is also E/F path which is really for professionals. The bridge is just amazing and all the path is well maintained and secured. You will be astonished with the views. I recommend not to enter when it is wet. For the way down you can take the Skylift, which I can recommend. Walking on your own is cca 15 km. We did this in total 5 hrs up.

Great infrastructure! Be prepared to stand in line around 30min to go up as well as down. Also the hiking trails are not great. In the effort do be accessible, the trails are all wide and with gravel. But the gravel makes waking up and (even more) down quite slippery. The trails are very steep and walking down must be done in small steps. On the back of the building, we walked up trail number 1 to then go to the left on trail number 3. Trail 3 is around 8km, 523 ascent/descent as it is a round trip. But the first half is gravel and the second half is a black paved road for cars, very steep, 400m ascent on the sun, no shade. This was the most terrible ascent we ever did! We were so unmotivated and hot that we needed an hour, always hoping for a car that would pick us up! Hike 3 is not for children!

Wow! The view from up here is spectacular! I'm sure the drive is fine, but the Sky Lift ride is absolutely magnificent! And only 5 minutes long. A must see!

A must go attraction with an amazing view 👌🏼

We visited via the loen skylift on 8th July. Absolutely stunning views.

Great to go up sky lift then walk to Skredfjellet with views over Nordfjord, Olden and surrounding mountains.

625 NOK for lift up and down. Free parking.

Very nice view and staff GORGE was great

It is so narrow to drive in but the narrow road limit the traffic make this place amazing.

Had one of the best experiences here. The staff present there was the most helpful and kind people I've ever met. They helped my father(on a wheelchair) experience the ski trolley. It was one of the most beautiful views you can ever see.

Loved it! Cool experience, to snowboard in the middle of the summer, outside.. And what is even more cool - you can reach this pace with motorcycles and snowboards on :D. And you can swim as well in the icey mountain river if you are brave enough. Atrraction for all family, for sure! Price for skipass 1 day - 490,- NOK You can rent equipment, buy food and drinks in the little cozy coffee-bar at place.

We were there at the end of June 2022. And so much snow !!! A very wild and raw place, which makes it beautiful. A narrow and demanding road, especially when you are driving a motorhome.

No summer skiing available the summer of 2018 anyway. The snow was all gone by end of July when we passed here. But do the trip anyway, the road going her from Geiranger is beautiful!

Amazing, I got there for the opening day, and had the opportunity to make some of the first track of the season ! The snow was excellent, they have a few jumps so you can have a lot of fun with that. I think they build more of these as the season goes. Everybody is very friendly and kind. The price is ok, 480 NOK for the day. You can rent some skis there but I would advise to come with your equipment if you can. There is a small restaurant that serves barbecued burgers. Would totally go again as soon as possible !

Fantastic🤩 Very good ski slopes. And the café was terrific, with a nice price level😉

Stunning views. Lovely veranda to sit out on. Good location to drive to Geirangerfjord. Large space. Can sleep up to 6 in bunk beds. Had everything you needed but no WiFi. Would benefit from some modernising.

We have visiting this place more then 20 years. The owners are friendly and the houses are good. I only wish they make the shower free haha. Edit: I have been here again today.

For 700 nok you can have a Big "hytte" with room for 4 people and your own bathroom. Sitter out and eat under the sun or under roof in front of the hytte anf look at the fjord.

The two room cabin was wonderful! Really clean and nice and the shower / bathroom area is modern and nice. Has a lovely view of the water and the owners are really nice. Highly recommend.

Small but nice camping above the road. 2 showers, 2 toilets and a small kitchen. Nice view.

We reserved a cabin in advance. However, when we arrived, the owner told us that something went wrong and all the cabins were full. Instead, we were put into a caravan. The caravan itself was nice and had a nice view of the lake. Yet, some things were closed off (such as toilet, water and stove) which was a bit of a shame. Additionally, there was no ordinary cutlery in the caravan, but plastic disposable cutlery. The sanitary facilities were clean, but maybe a little small in capacity.

We booked three cabins. Two thru website, and one by calling them. which was later confirmed in an email. But when we reached there only one cabin was available. Was given a strange reason that her husband is mentally ill who was handling the booking mess up booking by mistake. location is good, but service is hope less. never ever book cabin there.

We rented an electric car. It was available right as we walked off the ship. We had more than enough charge to go the the glacier and back with several stops. No fuel or charge need before the return. We rented the BYD and it was a fun comfortable car for 4 people. (Not available in the US so we took advantage of renting something we can't normally rent). The staff was friendly and everthing went seamlessly.

Only a digital information board outside. This is not a tourist information office anymore

We rented a car for 1 day while in town for a cruise. Check in and out were extremely fast (15 min in, 5 min out). They also helped us last second by finding us a car seat when ours didn't fit. The car was in great condition.

Can't remember what this was. Sure it was good.

We was in contact with turist information, but we get wrong information, missed time and money for drive to ferry- what not driving at all in this time. Not recommended

This center help give gode advise

The help they gave was very usefull and they were very enthusiastic about the place!

Narrow roads but beautiful views

This place is absolutely MAGNIFICENT! It is a MUST SEE if one is traveling nearby ! The road up here is very tight and steep so it is not recommended for larger vehicles or trailers.

A perfect place to look at fjord. Not many people came when I visited and there were few parking spaces beside narrow road.

Cute little view point to have a quick snack with an amazing view, there is 1 table and enough space for a car (2 max but tight), 700m up the road there's a parking for plenty of hikes

Nice public viewpoint! Very limited parking area and narrow steep road from the main road.

Beautiful views

Parking fee This is the way to beautiful Raksetra 30 minutes away from the parking ca And also a path to Hoven/Loen Skylift 90minutes walk ca from the parking

Enjoy the hike! 100% worth!

Loved this hike to the summit of Skala yesterday. Its a tough continuous uphill hike as you would expect going from near sea level to 1848 metres. Paths are good and well marked even the last few hundred metres in the snow are well indicated with the stone cairns. Amazing views but for me very cloudy at the top. Its great there is the tower and new shelter at the top that many people book to stay the night. There are a few drinking water streams up till about 1600 metres. You have to be in good fit shape to make it to the top and with warm gloves and kit etc. I hiked on my own and made it to the top in 3 hours 40 mins with half hour stop round trip was 6 hours 50 mins. Loved it.

Visited on 1st of July, breathtaking views and nature, really enjoyable hike, took us 4 hours up, which is quite good with snow on the top (didn’t expect that), but was fun, we slide down on the sled 🛷.

It was nice exprience. It was almost 1800m ascend and 8km each way. It took around 7 hours for us to finish the trekking. No need to tell but it was steep :)

Amazing hike

Walked up Skala from Loen in 1980. Unforgetable and probably the finest mountain walk I ever did.

Epic!

A very clean lake surrounded by high mountains, frequently visited by the tourists in the area with an impressive concentration of green trees. The lake can be seen from different high places around it. The lake is very narrow in the middle of it and this gives it a special appeal when you see it from the bridge crossing it at the middle.

Very beautiful lake, kayaking is amazing here.

Can’t compete with this beauty

Handy laybye for quick photo shoots. Great views up the lake towards the glacier, and nice little waterfall by the side of the laybye

Such beautiful scenery. Lovely scenery. Great food

Amaizing view 😍 great place!!!

What are beautiful place

We absolutely love our dinner here. My husband and I both chose different cod dishes and they came out fast, gorgeously prepared and tasted excellent. The desert and coffee also did not disappoint. We will come back 100%. We really can’t understand the negative reviews. Service is friendly and efficient. It is our favorite meal in Norway.

We had dinner here twice during our trip, and each time the food was fantastic! We tried the pizza, burgers, and the tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and beef—all of which were delicious. The tagliatelle, in particular, stood out and is highly recommended! The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and professional staff who made us feel welcome. We also enjoyed a lovely dessert to top off the meal. A great dining experience overall!

Stopped for a coffee here during our tour of Norway, was very impressed w how friendly the gentleman who took my order was! A rarity ( in my opinion ) in Norway. My guess is that he must have travelled a lot. Great service, great coffee, absolutely great staff, and very clean and modern bathroom.

Amazing food especially the beef burger was phenomenal! The staff members were so friendly and helpful, very cheerful and made us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend to tourist driving pass this gem.

This typical Norwegian seaside town is simply beautiful and the Stryn Kaffebar is a wonderful catering establishment with friendly and helpful South American staff that welcomed us and fed us great food. Nothing extraordinary about the menu, but it is vast and varied and the sea food dishes were just what we wanted. I would return to this place without hesitation whenever I am in town.

I dined here twice. Burger the first time which was decent. I had salmon the second time which was pretty good. Service here is hit or miss. There was a gentleman with glasses the first time who was amazing. The second time I didn’t see him and service was mediocre. It’s also unclear when you gi in whether to sit down or order directly at the cashier. Turns out, you pick a table, note the table number and then go to the cashier to order. Overall, it’s a solid option in a town with limited food options.

We went to eat dinner in the restaurant. Even though the place was full, it wasn't loud which was great. the starters were good but rather small, and the main dishes were delicious and satisfying. Great service and very cozy atmosphere!

Fabulous pizza!! Highly recommend!! The crust was chewy and the cheese was melty everything you want in a good pie!! I would definitely eat here again if I pass through!!

Tried the Margherita pizza, chicken roll, and fries. The pizza tasted good but was slightly overburnt on the backside. The chicken roll was flavorful and satisfying, and the fries were decent. Service was quick and efficient, which is always a plus. Overall, a decent experience with room for improvement on the pizza.

Halal Food yet at another vacation spot in Norway. Pizza, burger and pasta are all halal.

The staff was kind enough to let us know about the wait time before we ordered, which was appreciated. Portions were moderate, and the tagliatelle was easily one of the best I’ve had in Europe fresh, rich, and perfectly done also chicken and beef options are halal

Enjoyed the nice outdoor seating. The pizza was decent—I had the spicy Loen pizza. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

I had one of the worst dining experiences at this pizza place. The pizza I was served was overbaked to the point of being nearly inedible, with a strong burnt smell that completely ruined the taste. I ordered 3 pizza all were in same condition. When I politely brought this up to the staff, instead of offering any kind of solution or even acknowledging the issue, the staff member I spoke to was shockingly rude and arrogant. The tone was condescending, and to my disbelief, he told me I should leave if I wasn’t happy. I’ve never been spoken to like that at any restaurant before. Absolutely unacceptable behavior from the staff. I don’t usually write reviews, but this level of disrespect and lack of professionalism needs to be called out. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Really good pizza and the owners were friendly and hospitable :)

Short walk from the car park and back. Fantastic view! For a longer hike, you can take the path down to the fjord shore to see a small museum.

Beautiful falls. We looked at the fall from the top and then took the route down the hill… it was very steep and thus held the trees to prevent slipping. Well worth the hike down (hard work coming up) to see the falls. The walk to the falls is lovely and there are little details that the locals have added along the way.

This waterfall was amazing! You can totally walk under the falls and there is room for many people (and photo ops!) **Warning though!!** Google told us we "arrived" but Google was not correct.. we had to drive further down the road and park in the school, and you have to walk about 1.8 km ish down a little gravel path/road to get to the falls. There are some helpful signs once you actually find the school tho!

Stunning!! Which was a little bit vague to me, was the signs! I wasn’t sure how i could fo further to other spots to see the waterfall from other points. The rout to the waterfall is legit amazing! There are cute decorations on the way like trolls’ cloths. I was lucky that the weather was nice as well and i could see some fjord’s views which were breathtaking

Cool!

Very nice waterfall that you can walk behind.

We were a bit unlucky in a way that when we visited the waterfall there wasn't enough water there to wow me. Seen pictures on Google where people have experienced much heavier waterfall. I guess u have to research a little before going so u could get the best experience. By the way it's just a short walk from the barnehage, where u park the car. When u are at the waterfall then u can cross at Ur own risk but it isn't dangerous or anything.

Great hike, with great views. 50° decent, accent. But good path, trail. Between 3h hike to reach the top.

Quite steep but views from above are amazing! Absolutely worth an effort! Won’t recommend to go after rain could be slippery.

(Translated by Google) Great! Beautiful views, quite steep climb. Not many people. One of the most spectacular places in Norway. (Original) Super! Piękne widoki, dość strome podejście. Nie wiele osób. Jedno z najbardziej spektakularnych miejsc w Norwegii.

(Translated by Google) Absolute insider tip, most beautiful hike in Fjord Norway so far! We, in our mid-20s and fit, took 2 hours to climb to the summit and 1.5 hours to descend. The path is steep and slippery and muddy even on nice days, which is why proper hiking boots are essential. No problem for experienced hikers, but perhaps a bit of a challenge for inexperienced hikers, but is rewarded with a breathtaking view! (Original) Absoluter Geheimtipp, schönste Wanderung in Fjordnorwegen bisher! Wir, mitte 20 und fit, haben für den Aufstieg zum Gipfel 2 h und für den Abstieg 1,5 h gebraucht. Der Weg ist steil und auch an schönen Tagen rutschig und matschig, weshalb ordentliche Wanderstiefel unbedingt notwendig sind. Für geübte Wanderer kein Problem, für Ungeübte evtl eine kleine Herausforderung, die aber mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht belohnt wird!

(Translated by Google) Nice view from above! Something different than the classic view of a fjord. However, you have to climb 900 meters in altitude over a relatively short distance (3 km on the way there), which of course makes it very steep. If you take time for short breaks, it's still doable. Be careful, wear good shoes, the ground was very muddy and wet! The muddiest hike of our three week vacation! The valley is also very beautiful! (Original) Schöne Aussicht von oben! Mal etwas anderes, als der klassische Blick auf einen Fjord. Dafür muss man jedoch 900 Höhenmeter auf relativ kurzer Strecke überwinden (3 km für den Hinweg), das macht es natürlich sehr steil. Wenn man sich Zeit für kurze Pausen nimmt, trotzdem gut machbar. Achtung, gute Schuhe anziehen, der Boden war sehr matschig und nass! In unserem dreiwöchigen Urlaub die matschigste Wanderung! Auch das Tal ist schon sehr schön!

(Translated by Google) Parking paid in cash: 50 nok. Very demanding hike, very very steep, not to be underestimated, the climb is therefore long. Small part of climbing a little before the end with a rope and a chain to help you. The view upon arrival is magnificent!!! It's definitely worth it, but you have to go up with water, good shoes and knowing that the climb is tough. In total it took us 4h30, there is around 900m of elevation gain! (Original) Parking payant en espèces : 50 nok. Randonnée très exigeante, très très raide, à ne pas sous estimer, la montée est donc longue. Petite partie d'escalade un peu avant la fin avec une corde et une chaîne pour vous aider. La vue à l'arrivée est magnifique !!! Ça vaut vraiment le coup, mais il faut monter avec de l'eau, de bonnes chaussures et en sachant que la montée est dure. Au total nous avons mis 4h30, il y a environ 900m de dénivelé positif !

(Translated by Google) Perfect trip. Something demanding. Possibility to fill water in a stream near the top after approx. 2 hours walk. (Original) Perfekt tur. Noe krevende. Mulighet til å fylle vann i en bekk i nærheten av toppen etter ca. 2 timer gange.

Stryneelva or Strynselva is a river in the municipality of Stryn in Vestland county, Norway. It has a length of about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi), starting from the lake Oppstrynsvatn, assuming a meandering course through the Strynedalen valley and reaching the Nordfjorden at the village of Stryn. The river is among the best salmon rivers in Norway.

A wonderful river with opportunities for bathing(tho cold) and fishing. It is also possible to just walk along the river and enjoy the scenery.

Amazing

Spectacular view of the mountain and lakes and high snow wall just after the winter. Its an special experience. You may have to drive 30 km per hour, no asfalt on the road, just soil or pebbles.

What an incredible experience. Driving over this mountain range was such an adventure of scenery and Climate change. From spectacular views, waterfalls, wildlife, glaciers, lakes, mountains, historic places one after another, trails..... my goodness, the list goes on and on. Just incredible.

Man, I read the reviews and it felt like i was going to drive through hell with my 8 meters long campervan because of the narrow road. The reality is that it is definitely feasible and worth. Of course you need to frequently stop in the wider areas to let other pass, but hey if you are here you are not in a rush for sure. Make some photos while you wait. Go for it!

Beautiful and worth the ride!

Its a must! Narrow road with lakes, views and watterfalls all arround

Absolutly amazing.

Otherworldly !

Beautiful raw nature Breathtaking Sceneries, waterfalls Cows & sheep roaming around freely Best time to visit is july and aug Best camping spots.

A must do! This road gave us some of the best views of our entire trip! It's essentially a dirt road winding through a valley along a river with stunning views. It is a dirt road and slower going, so allot about an hour for it, but the road is in good condition and we managed just fine in a two wheel drive sedan during the fall time.

Worth seeing especially after summer season when you can enjoy the beautiful Autumn colors.

This is a fantastic route to reach Stryn. On top of the mountain you can see a wild nature, the road is a bit narrow and old so you can't drive more than 10kmph. Mobile signals drop there so don't drive in the late evening or at night.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful roads I've ever taken. This was one of the roads I wanted to do in Norway, and I'm so glad I did. (Original) Een van de mooiste wegen die ik al ooit heb genomen. Dit was een van de wegen die ik in Noorwegen wou doen en ben zo blij dat ik hem heb gedaan.

Beautiful views, highly recommended!

(Translated by Google) We took this route to Stryn because the guidebook recommended it as being very scenic. And they didn't overpromise. What awaited us here was truly magical: Waterfalls, turquoise water, all shades of green and gray, and majestic mountains. The route itself is a bit adventurous at times, but since we were traveling by car, the route was manageable. It was an absolute highlight of our trip. (Original) Wir haben diesen Weg nach Stryn genommen, weil er uns im Reiseführer als landschaftlich sehr schön empfohlen wurde. Und es wurde nicht zuviel versprochen. Was uns hier erwartet hat, ist wirklich magisch. Wasserfälle, türkisblaues Wasser, alle Töne von Grün und Grau und majestätische Berge. Der Weg selbst ist manchmal etwas abenteuerlich, aber da wir mit einem Auto unterwegs waren, war die Strecke gut zu meistern. Absolutes Highlight unserer Reise.

I had bacalhau and it was delicious. People are so kind and helpful. We had a good dinner on the way.

We had the Vegansnadder and the vegetarian Lasagne and it was really good! That's our place in Styr now. We also love the people there, so kind and friendly. If you are vegan or vegetarian, this is the only restaurant in Styr where you should go. They have 5 vegan plus 3 vegetarian options.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service is excellent. The problem is you can’t charge those prices for very low-quality food (bagged salad, frozen fries) in a place where you can constantly hear the microwave. Not to mention beers at £10. If the prices were lower, it would make perfect sense — but at these prices, no.

We have ordered Deluxe pizza with extra onion and extra pickles for takeaway… And I don’t know if it’s funny for the workers to not respect the clients and playing with their food, but we got some kind of carrots and marinated cabbage on our pizza… we got *extra onion, but *extra pickles all different kinds, sizes and it’s like 3 on all pizza. And we got some kind of jalapeño that wasn’t supposed to be on pizza… Oh and we have paid too much, but later at least the waiter said sorry and gave the difference, but I don’t even know if the difference was right..… Sad…

Finding a great food in this beautiful city is a blessing. I loved the BACALHAU À BRÁS and the Vegan burger. The staff was super friendly and the place was cleaned well. 🏦 Visa card accepted

Had a nice rib eye steak here. Liked everything including the best music Playlist I ever had while having dinner and good service here. Thank you

On behalf of waitress recommendation we choose the local food - beef stripes and meat balls. It was so delicious! Dont look fancy but the taste was so good :)
