Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri Restaurant
Known for its excellent cuisine based on fresh and local ingredients, the Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri restaurant offers a sophisticated dining experience without being pretentious. Operated by twin brothers, Ørjan and Arnt Johannessen, the restaurant carries on the culinary legacy of the 17th century guesthouse. The brothers have both made a name for themselves in different arenas of the restaurant business. Ørjan won the gold medal in Bocuse d`Or 2015, and in 2014, Arnt received the award for “Kitchen Manager of the Year,” in Norway. Their classic cooking uses quality ingredients and is delivered with a modern hand.
The nature surrounding Bekkjarvik is wild and generous, as the sea provides the hotel kitchen with fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood. The moors and woods are home to deer and wild sheep, both of which are excellent game meat, as well as local herbs and mushrooms. The Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri restaurant has been featured in both the Michelin Guide and the White Guide – Nordic.
In 2023, Ørjan established his very own restaurant - Mirabelle by Ørjan. Be sure to check out this unique dining experience on Michelins radar.
