Nestled within the floating art installation Salmon Eye and framed by the majestic Hardangerfjord in Norway, the Michelin-starred Restaurant Iris invites guests into a world of sustainable gourmet excellence. The restaurant’s interior, crafted by Norm Architects, masterfully contrasts and complements the innovative, ellipsoid architecture designed by Kvorning Design. The seamless blend of bespoke furniture, soft lighting, and natural materials creates a warm, intimate atmosphere amidst the striking steel curves of the building.

Upon arriving at Restaurant Iris after an unforgettable boat journey, guests can indulge in a set tasting menu that emphasizes sustainability, local ingredients, and the vibrant life beneath the sea. This extraordinary dining experience is further enhanced by breathtaking panoramic views of the fjord, glaciers, and majestic mountains. The restaurant’s interior masterfully contrasts and complements the innovative and rather brutalist architecture of Salmon Eye. The undulating curves of the interior are complemented by bespoke furniture that harmonizes with the room’s smooth arches, avoiding the imposition of conventional rectangular pieces. Creative solutions, such as portable lamps, bespoke carpets, and custom-built service stations, blend seamlessly with the architecture, creating a natural flow in the space.
