We had a three course dinner here. Wonderful food, served nicely and a fascinating room. A former bank where you could see where they kept the money in former times.

It must be the bane of every hard-working kitchen in the world...to turn out very good food, only to have your efforts undermined by a waitstaff that is not of the same caliber. And so it was with our dining experience at Hvelvet. i suppose they tried but in the end, they did not manage. Lillehammer is a rather small... More

When I arrived in Lillehammer, I never imagined that we would come across such a fine restaurant. The restaurant is housed in what used to be a bank.

But was the food good enough for 4 stars? No! The soup tasted very good, but the fish as a starter did not meet my expections! Also... More

Really liked this restaurant and its interiors - and of course the food too. Quite large portions and delicious desserts made this visit one to remember. Will most likely return on my next visit to Lillehammer.

I was at this restaurant with my colleagues. We had pre-ordered food so the only thing left for the waiters to do was to take up drinks and serve. We met for dinner at 18:00 and there were not many people except us in the restaurant. This should have gone smooth. I had a five meals course and the food... More
