Picture this: a restaurant that seems to levitate on the waters of a fjord, offering a panoramic spectacle of majestic mountains and glacial wonders. Welcome to the otherworldly realm of Restaurant Iris, a culinary masterpiece that has redefined the art of dining.

Imagine being whisked away on an electric boat, sailing from the charming town of Rosendal. Your journey takes you through the heart of nature's beauty, pausing at a boathouse on the ethereal Snilstveitøy island. But the real enchantment lies ahead, in the form of a futuristic, UFO-like structure named the Salmon Eye.

This architectural marvel, adorned with a mesmerizing array of 9,000 steel plates, hovers gracefully in the midst of Hardangerfjorden, a true spectacle in the realm of design. In this realm sustainability takes center stage – the very core of the Iris experience is rooted in promoting planet-friendly seafood production. Designed by the visionary minds at Kvorning Design, the Salmon Eye is a testament to the harmony between architecture and nature.

As you enter Restaurant Iris, prepare to be enchanted by a "multisensory underwater experience."

Brace yourself for an epic 18-course feast spread across six hours, a culinary symphony that tells a tale of global food systems and their challenges. The ocean's bounty takes center stage here, and the experience begins with a poignant short film shedding light on the issue of food waste.
