The outdoor seating area boasts spectacular views of the fjord, making this eatery in the village's former bakery well worth a visit. The menu includes pub classics as well as local dishes, so you are bound to find something for the whole family. Locals say the tower of the building is haunted.

Dølen Eteri

This restaurant's unusual name comes from the steamship Dølen, which used to chug along the Hornindalsvatnet between 1880 and 1950. With a rustic feel, it serves dishes made with local produce. The shop is a good place to stock up on local delicacies.
