Enjoy a culinary experience at Fretheim Hotel’s main restaurant. The food concept is based on Norwegian and locally produced ingredients that are in season, with a drink menu that completes the meal.
Restaurant Arven is located on the 2nd floor of the historic hotel, with direct access from the Lobby bar and reception. The restaurant serves a good breakfast with a large and varied selection. The menu changes regularly according to the season and access to raw materials from the producers.

The large, panoramic windows with views towards the Aurlandsfjord and the surrounding mountains set the atmosphere. It is as cosy during summer as it is on dark autumn and winter evenings, when you can hear the rain and wind outside.
Whether you go for buffet or choose from our a la carte menu, you are certain to find fresh and natural food. Our chefs are inspired by traditional cooking methods and which they give a modern touch. The goat has been a vital part of farming by the fjord but is not used much in most restaurants today. At Restaurant Arven, on the other hand, you find goat as the red thread throughout the menu – even in the desserts.
In winter fresh seafood is at its best, while spring is time for vegetables like asparagus and shoots. Summer is season for fresh vegetables and fruits, and in autumn we recommend warming dishes made of lamb and root vegetables.
