Buer Restaurant is situated at the “entrance gate” to the glacier Folgefonna close to Odda in Hardanger, surrounded by the dramatic and beautiful landscape of Western Norway.
An authentic Nordic restaurant offering the best ingredients from the fjord, the mountains, the forests, and the pastures in an informal and casual setting.

The ciderhouse Ola K is a new restaurant in the village of NÅ in an old refurbished general store. This is where the daily boat route came with supplies and left with apples and some bottles of cider.
