Langhuset Restaurant (Camp Lothepus)
Langhuset Restaurant
A Viking longhouse-style restaurant built on the slag heap of a former smelting works, with a short, casual menu; the Viking burger and barbecued ribs are the stars.
The restaurant is inside Camp Lothepus in Odda. It is a Viking-style longhouse built from glulam timber and treated with tar and linseed oil. The entrance is a stave-church-style gateway with a dragon-headed ridge, and the interior has a central stage with long tables lining the walls; the building itself is worth seeing. The menu is short: generously portioned Viking burgers, barbecued ribs, catch of the day, and for dessert an apple cake with brown cheese ice cream. Vegetarian options such as tofu burgers and children's meals are also available, and gluten-free choices are clearly marked. Prices are moderate. Reservations are not accepted, and during peak hiking season evening visits may involve a wait. Opening hours change with the seasons and holidays, so check the restaurant's Facebook page before visiting.
