Flor & Fjære
A visit to Flor & Fjære starts with a pleasant boat trip. It will take 20 minutes on board MS Rygerfjord before you disembark amongst a sea of flowers at Flor & Fjære. On arrival at the island, our guides are ready to show you the beauty of the gardens. The garden tour will give you insight into 3 generations' passion. Dinner is served in the restaurant after your garden tour.
It all started in 1965, when Åsmund and Else Marie Bryn bought the farmstead Mangela on the northern tip of Sør-Hidle and built themselves a small cottage. By 1995, Olav (Åsmund’s son) and his wife, Siri, opened the garden and restaurant to its first guests.
Our Chef, André Mulder, is inspired by food from all over the world – pure, natural flavours from the freshest ingredients possible. At Flor & Fjære we focus on using local ingredients. Olav Bryn designs the gardens and park year after year. He spends the winter season planning and creating new combinations, finding new plants and flowers and looking for nuances not yet tried.
