Even though we were staying at Kviknes, I had heard that the Cider House was the palce to go for dinner. We ended up eating there on both nights of our stay. It is a family run place -- the waiter told us his brother in law picked out the scallops and they were good. He also demonstrated how they... More

This is a very nice family run restaurant and the food is a little more upscale than the other options in Balestrand.

Hostel kindly booked us a table here as reservations are recommended. Absolutely charming place with fantastic fjord views. Staff are all exceptionally friendly, especially the owner. Food was great - we had two of the mezes to start, smoked salmon and filo feta parcels, both very tasty. Main of fish of the day was equally good, which came with a... More

Hot day in Balestrand, decided to go with the family for a cider at the Cider House (had read of it on Tripadvisor and knew it wouldn't be cheap). Nice location and good staff, but the prices are truly shocking (if you are a poor Brit that is). V small glass of flat cider for me (i.e. a big gulp),... More

I was first time in this beautiful place with my customers from Thailand. Restaurant is located in beautiful place with view to Sognefjord. The restaurant is surrounded by apple groves. Very cozy place to eat dinner. The food was great and local cider also. The personal works fantastic and the atmosphere is very friendly. I recommend this place to everyone.... More

Located in an orchard a little way out of town, this is an unusual restaurant well worth a visit. They make their own cider and have an inventive menu including an interesting vegetarian choice. We dined in a sunny glassed-in porch with a view of the fjord.

the portions were small, the food was delicious. skip the desert and the fruit juice and the price will be okay. otherwise, you will be unhappy with the bill!

Excellent food using home made produce, beautiful setting and fantastic service ! What more could you ask for? We loved this restaurant and particularly appreciated our post meal tour of the cellar where the home made ciders are produced. If we are ever fortunate to visit Norway again we will definitely be back here!

We just finished a fabulous 3 course meal here and am glad we splurged on this restaurant. The food was fresh and flavourful (no sauces drowning the food or greasiness). The servings were generous. The setting is lovely and sitting in the glass "sunroom" on a rainy evening was really nice. A great finish to the meal was their plum... More
