The Odin burger was far more tasteful than I imagined after entry. Not the boring deep frozen French fries, but locally prepared baked potato. Smoky taste of the burger with bacon and cheese, the cucumber was again superior to the average. The meatball with smashed and potatoes was also delicious. Prices like in a famous tourist spot in Norway, expensive.
