11 Best Restaurants in The Western Fjords, Norway

Hoven Restaurant

$$$ Fodor's choice

At the top of Loen Skylift, this strikingly modern restaurant is perched off the edge of a cliff. On one side of the dining room is an entire wall of glass, so every table has a spectacular view. Expect Nordic dishes with the freshest local ingredients and a warm atmosphere.

Cafe Rallaren

$
In Myrdal Station, Cafe Rallaren caters to travelers during the busy summer season. It serves local dishes in a diner-style atmosphere, and also offers bicycle rentals and luggage storage. Hikers often fortify themselves here with Norwegian waffles and other sweets displayed behind the counter.

Den Grøne Kafe

$$
Facing the dock in Ulvik, the Green Cafe has big windows with amazing views of the fjord and the mountains beyond, but in warm weather you'll want to head outside to one of the tables just feet from the water's edge. Given the name, you won't be surprised at the number of vegetarian and vegan options, but there is also a wide range of dishes for meat-eaters, from burgers to fish-and-chips. The interior is charming and homey, with exposed brick and shelves packed with books. Hours are more limited in the off-season.
