In Ålesund

You have the choice between exclusive restaurants with an international menu, a variety of small cafeterias with delightful dishes, coffee bars, pizzas, snack-bars and pubs. Some restaurants have both Norwegian and international dishes on the menu, with ingredients taken from Nature's own larder. Or, you can simply buy prawns from one of the fishing boats at the quay, and sit on a bench and enjoy them while admiring the sea view!

You will find the greatest choice in Ålesund, which has an abundance of gourmet restaurants and traditional cafés. Ålesund is also home to the annual Norwegian Food Festival with its bustling crowds and enthusiasm for food.

In the rural areas
