Byrampen Viewpoint
Observation deck
👍👍 We did this as part of a MSC cruise tour, we were dropped off at the opposite end and walked through the forest and fantastic walk trails to this position. These are stairs leading up from the city but can be strenuous for some. Cafe at the top, old bunker and of course wonderful views.

Stuen AS
Fast food restaurant
👍👍 Absolutely phenomenal fish and chips. Easily the best I had in my 2 years here in Europe. The crinkle-cut fries are a great compliment to the 2 big size pieces of fish you get in the meal. The tartar sauce is amazing with it not being too heavy but at the same time packing lots of flavor. Amazing cu...

👍👍 Great wine bar in the heart of Ålesund. With a fantastic range of wines, specially from Italy. Romantic atmosphere cozy, good music and lovely service. It’s a great place for a wine tasting event… although it’s well known that alcohol prices in Norway are really high… just be prepared for this.

👍👍 Delicious Japanese food with modern feel in Alesund. We ordered the 36 biter sashimi which was nothing special, but pretty fresh and tasted well with the bit of teriyaki sauce. The futomaki we ordered were great. From the grill, we had the tenderloin and halibut—both with a unique twist to Japanese...
