Vegetarian in Norway?
Get top tips on where to find the best veggie restaurants and food
"Traditionally, Norwegian cuisine has been based around meat and potatoes, but this is now changing. More restaurants and cafés are finally putting greens in the spotlight."
Hanne-Lene Dahlgren, veggie enthusiast
"With locally grown vegetables and world-class fruit and berries, it's easy to find and make fantastic veggie food in Norway."
Did you know that Norwegian vegetables are known for being extra sweet and delicious? The long sunny days in summer, combined with a cool climate, makes them grow more slowly, giving them a more intense flavour.
If you would like to sample delicious seasonal vegetables, fruits and berries, and other local delicacies, Hanne-Lene recommends visiting a farm shop.
Many farms also offer selvplukk, which means that you can pick your own fruit and veg — a fun family activity!
Another tip from Hanne-Lene is ordering food from a food delivery service like Foodora or Wolt, and having an outdoor picnic. Perfect in spring and summer!
Or would you like to go directly to the tasty source? The fruit village in Telemark and the many fruit and cider farms in Hardanger will definitely please your taste buds.
