Vianvang
If eating at the Fossheim Turisthotell has you inspired by the food of Arne Brimi and you want to taste meals cooked by the man himself, Vianvang is the master-chef’s highland restaurant that he opens only by appointment. Here you can watch him work as he cooks up a gourmet meal. If you’re coming from Lom along the Rv15, take the Rv51 towards Randsverk just before you reach Vågåmo (Vågå). Prices depend on the banquet and seasonal produce prices, but having arguably Norway’s finest chef prepare a meal for you doesn’t come cheap. It is, however, always worth it.

One-Hand Clapping
This very cool little coffee shop does superb coffee (from Nkr25), as well as croissants and chocolate cake (Nkr20) to die for. The two easy chairs on the pavement are prime people-viewing spots if you’re fortunate enough to snaffle one.

Nikkers
Known as the place where a moose has apparently walked through the wall (look outside for the full effect), it serves international cuisine and has a pleasant outdoor terrace. The ambience is somewhere between English pub and Oslo café.

Café Ludvik
The popular Café Ludvik is also good, though with a touch less class. It serves a range of inexpensive light meals, including beef dishes, omelettes and pasta. It’s 300m south of the centre.

Møllen Restaurant & Pizzeria
In the town centre alongside the E6, this is a good choice if you feel like a sit-down meal that’s a cut above hamburgers, but with a reasonable price tag.

Tapas
For a change of scene, try this Spanish-flavoured bar, which plays Latin music, does good tapas and has a pleasant, buzzy ambience when it’s full.
