    Fjellstua Kafé

    The 418 steps up Aksla lead to the splendid Kniven viewpoint over Ålesund and the surrounding mountains and islands. Follow Lihauggata from the pedestrian shopping street Kongensgata to the start of the 20-minute puff to the top of the hill. There’s also a road to the top; take Røysegata east from the centre, then follow the Fjellstua signposts up the hill. Up top, the Fjellstua Kafé is a good place to recover your breath while enjoying a drink with a view.

    Invit

    Gosh, the style shows at this suave coffee bar, which also serves tasty snacks. Just what you’d expect from a place that runs the accompanying interior design boutique with the very best of creative modern furniture and Scandinavian kitchenware and home appliances. You can also sip your espresso outside on their floating pontoon, where they considerately supply blankets if the wind whips up.

  4. Jordbærstova

    About 6km up the Åndalsnes road, Jordbærstova honours the valley’s mighty strawberry. So stop in for a fat slice of its gooey, creamy svele (strawberry cake) , the local pancake speciality that is served with strawberries and cream. It also offers light meals.

    Lido

    Lido is an inexpensive cafeteria with good traditional grub. Its budget credentials get battered by the Nkr5 charge to go to the toilet, but it’s nonetheless a good place for simple but hearty local food.
