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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
