Buer Restaurant – Dining at the edge of the glacier

At the gateway to Hardanger’s dramatic landscapes, Buer Restaurant offers more than a meal—it’s a chance to pause, savor, and take in Norway’s raw beauty.

Step inside the historic wooden barn-turned-restaurant and feel immediately at ease. Warm timber, welcoming hosts, and a relaxed atmosphere make this a perfect place to unwind after exploring the surrounding natural wonders. Whether you arrive fresh from the trails or simply seeking a memorable evening, Buer invites you to stay.

The menu celebrates authentic Nordic cuisine, crafted from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients from the fjord, forests, and mountains. From carefully prepared lunch plates to elegant dinners with wine pairings, every dish reflects the purity and depth of west Norway’s flavours.

Make your day here truly complete. Just steps from the restaurant, paths lead through the lush Buerdalen valley toward spectacular views of the Buarbreen glacier—an arm of the mighty Folgefonna ice cap. A well-marked hike brings you alongside rivers and wild terrain toward the glacier’s foot, offering panoramic scenery that stays with you long after the walk.

After the hike, return to the warmth of the restaurant. Sit around long tables with your group, share stories, savour exquisite dishes, and enjoy fine wines as the light shifts over the surrounding peaks. This blend of nature and gastronomy creates a day that feels complete—from fresh mountain air to refined Nordic dining.

Buer Restaurant welcomes groups of all kinds—from friends and families to company gatherings—with tailored dining and event options. Here, spectacular scenery and exceptional food come together in a setting that’s as perfect for shared moments.

💚Often, it’s the small things…

Before dinner, enjoy a short tasting—two carefully selected ciders from Hardanger.
Hardanger is Norway’s orchard, where fjord-side farmers craft world-class cider. A pommelier will guide you through a fun, relaxed introduction to sparkling cider—fresh, fruity, and full of flavor.
