flor og fjære

This is a place you just have to Experience your self. It's just fantastic. The gardens are divided into different colors. There are small gardens and big gardens.........and the meal at the end of the visit was excellent. As I said, you can't re tell, you just have to take the trip and look, smell and taste.

I liked the food and the scenery, the guide, all the staff that where there. This is the most wonderful place to be on earth.

I went with my mother and my mother in law, and it was a beautiful summer day - however a bit windy. But when arriving the wind just vanished and a little paradise opened up. Surrounded by beautiful colours, flowers, trees, greens, waterfalls and great views. It’s simply mind blowing what they have managed to create on a small island in the middle of a norwegian fjord. The guided tour around the gardens was both interesting and lovely. Later we were seated for dinner, and the chefs presentation of the menu gave us a few laughs :) Luckily he also could cook the most wonderful dishes. Great food, lovely surroundings and overall a perfect trip on a warm summer day. Would recommend it to both tourists and locals.

If you are in Stavanger during summer time - and like to see a totally unique place, go to Flor & Fjære. Make sure to make a reservation.It can not be described. Try it. Both food and flowers are absolutely amazing and there is no such place elsewhere. I recommend it, specially in late May and early June.

I went there with my family and first we did a guided tour around the facilities. Then we had a nice meal, three-courses with a fun-loving, charming chef explaining the food and the herbs that were picked from the garden. Had a great time, would definitely come back. Thank you.

Fantastic what they have been able to grow on that island in a fjord outside Stavanger town. Palms, bamboo, banana and other trees and plants that normally lives far away from Norway. They also have fantastic food.

A 20 minutes' voyage from the centre of Stavanger - Flor og Fjaere must be the best flower island in Norway! Beautiful gardens with lots of colourful, exotic plants, green lawns and picturesce ponds combined with an excuisit cuisine makes it well worth a day's excursion!I have visited Flor og Fjaere several times. We celebrated our silver wedding at Flor og Fjaere and were treated very well. They gave us a nice, separate house for our party, they gave us delicious food and surprised us with a special silver wedding dessert.Anybody who visits the Stavanger area ought to find time to visit Flor

Flor & Fjaere is something truly unique, a palm island in Norway! A ticket to experience it includes a 20 minute boat trip each way from Stavanger, a guided tour of the stunningly beautiful flower gardens and lunch or dinner prepared by Dutch chef Andre who also presents the food in a rather humorous way. Flor & Fjaere is owned and operated by Siri and Olav Bryn and their family, who are very much in attendance to meet and guide their guests. When H.M. Queen Sonja was going to celebrate her 70th birthday with royal guests from around Europe, this is the venue she chose. To get an impression of what it looks like, visit their website www.florogfjare.no.

Visited this back in 2005 as part of a corporate event and was stunned by the bio-diversity and high level of maintenance. A short 20-25 minute boat ride from Stavanger harbour and you think you've landed at an altogether different latitude! The gardens are well worth walking through and the restaurant serves superb fare! If you're in Stavanger, head to this place for a great afternoon and dining experience!

This island is one of the most beautiful places that we have ever been to, everything is well kept and bright - it makes you feel like your in a tropical place! We had the privilege of visiting before it actually opened to the public so our group (around 40 people) were the only people on this gorgeous island! A must visit when in Stravanger, it's only about a 20 minute boat trip away and is worth every penny!

Visited this amazing place as an excursion from the cruise ship.After a short boat trip from Stavanger we arrived on one of the many islands found in this area, the big difference here was the wow factor in finding a beauiful themed Eden in a wilderness. These gardens incorporate flora from around the world so you walk from one continent to another,some areas greet you with an explosion of colour, some with sculptured plants and by using the rocks and different levels waterfalls are in abundance. We were unfortunate in being limited with time but in are short visit your felt the passion that that made this place.

a small piece of paradise on earth....worth the visit....should not be missed if u r visiting the area

Stavanger. The tropical Garden fjord og fjaere. The boat-ride from the harbor of Stavanger is easy and short and then you walk into a truly awe-inspiring place. The fjord og fjaere is a beautiful island with many different species of plants growing everywhere and this is absolutely breathtaking. This island paradise offers palm trees, cactuses, banana plants, citrus plants, bonsai trees among other beautiful trees, bushes and plants. Surrounded by some 50 000 summer flowers, 10 dams, waterfalls and fish you will be blown away by the colors, scents. The amount of work they put into this garden is absolutely unbelievable! It is unbelievable we in freezing Norway, land of the midnight sun. The guides are knowledgeable and it's hard to describe what you get to see - amazing.

The agenda is as always - arrive with boat, guided tour of the garden, three course dinner and return with boats. The fee covers all this and you only have to purchase whatever you want to drink with dinner. The trip starts with a boatride to the island where the garden is. The garden is a marvel and symbol of what can be achieved with long, hard work. It is so beautiful and nothing like what you expect to find in the north. I've visited a few times before, but this year the culinary standard has been lifted in my opinion. It's not cheap though.

OK, it is not cheap but what a trip!Our tour started with a boat trip from SVG at 1700 in the harbour and takes about 25mins.OTHER TIMES ARE AVAILABLEOnce there you are split into 2 groups (English or Norwegian speaking) then taken around a little paradise.Afterwards the chef (meant to be one of the best in Norway with a star) welcomes you to his restaurant and service is done by each table in turn (no mad rush when the buffet comes out)Fish soup was sooo tasty to start followed by an amazing buffet, you will not leave hungry!Desert and coffee follows.Beer/wine/water is available until 1 hour before your boat leaves at 2130.Seriously... I live in Stavanger and I have to go back!Like I said earlier, the prices are very expensive at around £100... each! ... but if you miss this your missing a little peice of heaven in Norway.
