Brasserie Posten Geiranger
Brasserie Posten is located in the old post office, right on the pier, next to the fjord in the heart of the beautiful village Geiranger. The Geirangerfjord area is home to spectacular scenery with deep blue fjords, waterfalls and sharp snow topped mountains that tower high above the fjord.
The Geirangerfjord area has been named one of the best travel destinations in Scandinavia by Lonely Planet. Geiranger is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Because of it´s beauty Geiranger each year receives more than 800.000 visitors from every corner of the world and it´s one of the most visited places in Norway.
Sadly the combination of popular tourist attractions and eateries often affects the quality of the service, the food and the charm, but Brasserie Posten proved this to be wrong. Brasserie Posten is a high quality concept in all aspects and I loved it. Both thumbs up, this is the place to eat if you are hungry visiting the jewel in the crown of the Norwegian fjords - the Geirangerfjord.
The interior of the restaurant is rustic and modern. It is a family run restaurant and I was served by the very serviceminded family member Caroline. She went out of her way to make the meal a feast. Caroline is one of the 230 residents that live in Geiranger year-round.
The restaurant serves high quality food made from scratch. The menu has a great range of options, something for everybody and the menu changes with the season.
All the ingredients as locally sourced, from the beef to the fish, to the cheese to the berries for the desserts. The restaurant has a wide selection of local beer.
Prices are fair for Norwegian standards and the restaurant has gluten free alternatives.
Visiting in Winter we sat inside, but in summer there is a terrace to dine at with wonderful view of the Geirangerfjord.
I never expected to find such a fine restaurant in this small town and will defnitely eat here again. Geiranger is a go-to destination and so is Brasserie Posten for great food in Geiranger Brasserie Posten Geiranger
