Very tasty homemade cakes! We had a blueberry one, and a chocolate sponge one - both delicious and freshly made (they were finishing the topping on the choc one as we arrived!). Filter coffee is good too. Very lovely place to get a hot drink and snack!

We were two tired French fellows that arrived late to Balestrand for dinner and we spotted immediately Peters plass tiny house on the peer. The welcome and service was very friendly, the delivery fast and the food delicious.

Outstanding food and service. I had the Hutsul and it was terrific. It is a family recipe. We came for the Apple Pie. They were out. We came back the next day and I had the Hutsul again. The Apple Pie is Fantastic! The service is friendly and welcoming.

Fresh homemade, delicious food including pastas, salads, fish, fish soup, and Ukrainian specialties. Service was very friendly and setting was charming. We liked it so much, we returned after eating there the first night so that we could try their apple pie. Convenient location by ferry stop and around the corner from back exit of Kviknes Hotel. Reservations recommended.
