Kviknes Hotel offers a splendid, spendy store koldt bord buffet dinner in a
massive yet stately old dining room. For a memorable fjordside smörgåsbord
experience, it doesn't get any better than this. Don't rush. Consider taking a
preview tour—surveying the reindeer meat, lingonberries, and fjord-caught
seafood—before you dive in, so you can budget your stomach space. Get a
new plate with each course and save room for dessert. Each dish is labeled in
English (500 kr/person, May-Sept daily 19:00-21:00, closed Oct-April). After
dinner, head into the rich lounge to pick up your cup of coffee or tea (in-
cluded), which you'll sip sitting on classy old-fashioned furniture and basking
in fjord views. For tips on enjoying this feast, see here .

fish dishes (May-Sept daily 14:00-21:30, closed Oct-April, mobile 91 56 28
