Restaurant Akershus

Can someone please explain to me the system at Restaurant Akershus? We are thinking of eating there this summer, but we are confused about what the one price gets you, and what is extra. I checked on allears.net, and I know the price includes the "Cold Bar," but does it also include the "Prepared to Order Hot from the Kitchen"?

Also, if anyone has any reviews or suggestions (especially for dessert :slurp: ) let me know!

Thanks

Again I must reply...my wife and I eat here a lot, the last time being June 2004. We absolutely love it. The interior is charming and relaxing. The food is delicious. You can download the menu from Allearsnet. com but the cold buffet is full of breads, salads, meat dishes, etc as well as several styles of herring! As far as ordering the hot dishes, I did it without hesitation. My wife and I must have "tried" 6 or 7 dishes just in June and our waitress was very quick in getting our food to us (between that and the buffet, I was never waiting with an empty plate). And (hope my wife doesn't read this :kiss: ...love you, dear) the Norwegian waitresses were ... wow! There were some brunettes but the blondes were striking!!

Seriously, another tip if you don't try it is to really talk with your wait staff. I am constantly fascinated by CM's in Epcot from around the world and will chat with them for a long time. Our waitress talked all about her travels around Europe, her 5th trip to USA, her grandfather back home in Norway, helped us with our pronunciations...it completed the mood for us perfectly. We felt like we were eating in a little place in Norway itself! When we mentioned it was our anniversary trip, she even brought us an extra dessert to congratulate us!

We're doing the Princess Breakfast in a week so I'll post more about that. I miss the lunch but now that I hear they may be unofficially doing it early, I might just try to squeeze it into our schedule as well!

I wanted to try Akershus for lunch when I was down at WDW last time (May '04), but they were redoing the kitchen and weren't offering lunch or dinner. Now I won't get a chance before it becomes all booked up and crowded with children there for the princesses (and mashed rutabaga??) at every meal. Kids will love it, but it just won't feel like a World Showcase meal to me.

Guess I'll just have to wait until I have a little princess of my own to take.

It is excellent. I love turnips, mashed or just boiled, so this was a great treat for me. Rutabagas are really just a cross between cabbage and turnip. Very tasty and good for you, it is cruciferous.

Beverages and desert are not included.
