It's the modern day preparation, though, that's earned the restaurant a status as one of the best in town.

This place makes its own cider and expertly pairs it with creative Norwegian and Mediterranean dishes. Dry cider and herbs from the garden fill the soups, while fruit from the garden finds its way into the desserts.
