  • 2. Ægir Bryggeri og Pub

    $$$

    It started out as a straightforward microbrewery, but Ægir has been transformed into a complete culinary experience. Conveniently located near the cruise port in Flåm, its local dishes pair beautifully with the award-winning beer. The interior is inspired by Norse mythology, with driftwood furnishings and a central fireplace whose chimney extends through both floors.

    A-feltvegen 23, 5743, Norway
    57--63--20--50

    Known For

    • Interesting architecture
    • Some of the region's best beer
    • Local meats
  • 3. Bryggekanten Restaurant

    $$$

    Decorated in a maritime style, it's no surprise that Bryggekanten has such close proximity to the ocean. Naturally it has lovely views from the dozens of windows. The fish dishes are superb, and the soup is a local favorite.

    Hamnegata 7, 6900, Norway
    57--75--75--75

    Known For

    • Tasty fish soup
    • Friendly staff

  • 4. Bryggekanten Restaurant/Brasserie og Bache Bar

    $$$$

    Today's catch is all over the menu---crayfish, klippfisk (fish salted and dried in the sun on slabs of rock), and grilled monkfish, to name a few---at this casual eatery. The seemingly mismatched, umbrella-shape roof atop this rectangular blue waterfront restaurant offers a lesson in Norwegian history, culture, and cuisine: it's where locals of yesteryear dried fish by night. It's the modern day preparation, though, that's earned the restaurant a status as one of the best in town.

    Storkaia 1, Kristiansund, Møre og Romsdal, 6509, Norway
    71--67--61--60

  • 6. Fjellstua

    $$$$

    This mountaintop restaurant covered with a dramatic glass canopy has tremendous views over the surrounding peaks, islands, and fjords. It serves a mix of national and international dishes, and on the menu might be Norwegian salt cod or baked salmon. A wraparound terrace opens when the weather allows, and it's a popular spot for lunch after climbing the steps to the Kniven scenic overlook.

    Fjellstua Aksla, Ålesund, Møre og Romsdal, 6007, Norway
    70--10--74--00

    $$

    This region's best-kept secret, this little red house perched at the water's edge serves up delicious traditional dishes. Close to a pristine glacier, towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and a shimmering lake, the scenery makes a visit to this laid-back eatery well worthwhile.

    Hogrenning, 6789, Norway
    91--84--87--67

Expect original dishes with a traditional touch and great views of the Geirangerfjord. The restaurant is named after the woman who owned Hotel Union with her husband in the late 1800s, Julie Mjelva.

    Geirangervegen 101, Geiranger, Møre og Romsdal, 6216, Norway

  • 10. Sjøstjerna

    $$$

    Another contender for the best fish restaurant crown in Kristiansund, Sjøstjerna matches its zeal for klippfisk with major skills in hospitality to create an exceedingly warm and convivial environment. In addition to intimacy of the relatively small space, the vast assortment of Norwegian folk art and fishing-related artifacts hanging from the walls adds a refreshing and well-designed layer of intrigue on an otherwise typical menu of bacalao, blandaball dumplings, and klippfisk.

    Skolegata 8, Kristiansund, Møre og Romsdal, 6509, Norway
    71--67--87--78
