Welcome to Knystaforsen!
Our restaurant – in an old sawmill, by a rippling river, surrounded by pristine forests – was originally our home. So we treat our guests like family.
Over the course of our hours together, we will regale you with a terroir-driven tasting menu that celebrates the wild nature around us. Some ingredients are plucked from the rivers and lakes, others are foraged in the woods, wild game and artisanal products are sourced from local purveyors.
We cook outdoors, over flames and embers. It’s sensuous and impractical, in the best sense of the word. It’s as much about camaraderie around a campfire as it’s about enjoying a meal seasoned with the visceral thrill of its unhurried preparation; fire, the primordial culinary art, provides sustenance for the soul too.
For those who wish to linger a little longer, we offer a handful of rooms. Wake surrounded by forests, lakes and rivers, and let the experience unfold at its own pace.
Our house is a casual place, there aren’t many rules here, except for one: making sure you feel at home.
