If you would like to taste, eat or drink something typical for Romsdal, try "potetball" (dinner made of potatoes), "svele" (a local pancake) or "ananasbrus" (a local soft drink). There are several local food producers, and the use of local ingredients is getting increasingly popular in cafés and restaurants. Feel free to ask the staff for recommendations!
