One of our many popular offerings is the trip to Veitastrond, combined with farm visits, and traditional farm fare for lunch. 

Picnic
A simple and great option for lunch, if you have a full day planned or just want to enjoy a meal by the fjord, the glaziers or in the mountains, could be to prepare your own packed lunch while enjoying your breakfast.

Great drinks complement great food.
An aperitif sharpens the senses, a well-chosen wine balances the taste experience and a Cognac makes for a worthy conclusion. At BesteBakken we are avid collectors of Cognacs and we welcome the challenge of finding the most suitable for you. Of course we offer alternatives for those who wish.

For guests who prefer alcohol-free drinks we recommend apple juice from local area, which is a complete drink and perfect for all our dishes. We also serve fresh made lemonades from the garden and from the forest.
