A Viking plank at Ægir Gastropub
The stave-church-styled gastropub on the Flåm waterfront serves a Viking tasting plank paired with its own beer — the reliable heritage lunch in the ninety minutes between the train down and the fjord cruise.
Tied to Flåm
Ægir Gastropub (formerly the Ægir BryggeriPub) sits on the Flåm waterfront in a building shaped like a stave church — deliberately leaning into the Viking iconography while doing the food honestly. They brew their own beer on site (Lindisfarne Scotch ale, Sumbel mead, Rallar amber), and the kitchen pairs deliberately with the brewery. The Viking Plank is the group order and the reliable heritage pick: five small dishes paired with five of the house beers, cured meats and smoked fish among them. Lunch service runs from around midday, which fits the ninety-minute stop between the Flåmsbana coming down and the fjord cruise.
If a bowl of rømmegrøt (sour-cream porridge) is on the day’s menu, it is the old-Norwegian thing to order; if not, the smoked fish and cured-meat plates carry the same note. Upper deck for the fjord view. Reservations help in late July when the cruise ships dock.
What we plan to try
The Viking Plank to share and a Sumbel mead during the afternoon stop; a bowl of rømmegrøt if the kitchen has it that day.
