Brimi Sæter

The best little bed and breakfast. My family and I spent 2 nights in the farm and had the best time. Very sweet and helpful employees, beautiful setting. The 4 course dinner was absolutely delicious and an incredible experience.

What more can I say other than it’s a must. A MUST. We were just one other couple there who were “foreigners”, as they said. You could tell people had been coming here for a long time, growing up at the farm. The owners are lovely and clearly skilled in what they do, and you can feel the passion behind every detail. The food was outstanding, the farm is surreal, but perhaps my favorite part was sitting next to a group of ladies, childhood friends, who got together for the evening. They told us so many stories. And surprisingly, one is the cousin of the owner of SVE (essentially aquavit). I’d love to meet her again as she was just so charming. Thank you for an incredible experience! Maybe we’ll come back for my 50th!

We booked a 4-course dinner for two adults and a baby, but things went wrong from the start. No one greeted us or showed us where to go, and even after reaching the dining area, we stood there unacknowledged. Although we had noted our baby in the booking, there was no high chair or space for one. We were squeezed into the middle of a crowded communal table, and staff awkwardly asked other guests to shift instead of offering a proper solution. Only after we raised concerns were we moved to the end of the table, a much better spot that another guest had suggested from the beginning. Poor planning and untrained staff were clear throughout. The dinner began with a very, very long speech (20-30 min) in Norwegian. Non-Norwegian speakers were left out, with only a brief written summary in English. One staff member kept addressing us in Norwegian despite our responses in English, a clear sign of inattentive service. The communal dining setup had potential but was poorly executed. There was only one small tabletop grill meant to serve eight people, and it was completely out of reach for us. We had to rely on neighboring guests to cook and share food, which felt awkward and unfair to them. Portions were also tiny: just two slices of cheese and a small amount of meat shared slowly among the group. Some dishes (fish soup, meat) were good, others forgettable. Dessert was delayed and average. Despite paying early and mentioning we needed to leave because of the baby, no effort was made to serve us faster, even though the desserts were ready. Beautiful setting, but unless you’re a Norwegian-speaking guest with no special needs, don’t expect flexibility or thoughtful service.

Wow. Do not miss a night at Brimi Sæter. In many years of travel, this is one of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed. The dinner is incredible .. and the breakfast spread may just be the best in Europe.

This place is close to nature. Just remember to bring good shoes and clothes, and you have the nature just outside their door. ||We stayed in their tipi. Nice beds. sound of animals, wind, rain and water just outside. ||Their food is excellent. They have traditional Norwegian Sour Cream Porridge. Brown Cheese. And alot of other Norwegian food. Just have to love this place

We arrived several families for a lunch. The very first thing that happened was that we witnessed the slaughtering of a goat which had been injured by a car! More excitement came later when some of the youngsters among us got to milk cows - with their hands! We ate "rømmegrøt", a traditional porridge, which was excellent. Looks a bit pricy at first, but when you realize you get seconds and can eat as much meat as you like, well then it's a bargain. And boy did we eat! The restaurant sells a wide variety of food and drinks, plenty to bring with you for further enjoyment. Staff was excellent, both in the shop/restaurant as well as those who were taking care of the animals. Children and parents enjoyed the nice atmosphere, friendly people and good food/drink. Did I mention the brilliant nature that surrounds this mountain farm? And, not to forget, they make their own cheese, and you can go into the cheese cellar to have a look before you buy some pieces!

A super cozy mountain cafe simply offer Norwegian traditional food and drinks. You can choose to sit outside or inside (upstairs). Trys their sour cream porridge (rømmegrøt)..the best one I ever ate. You pay once and get refill for your food👍

Nice location with a lot of different farm animals that can be petted and interacted with (cows/calves, pigs, goats, sheep, hens and cats). The main attraction here is the "Skråpåtå" raclette 4-course dinner where you get a metal cage full of red hot coal on your table that you use to melt their home made cheese. There's also some storytelling in Norwegian about the history of the farm/sæter and the traditions of the area. Don't stay here if you're afraid of cows.
