The famous Norwegian chef and Bocuse d’Or winner Ørjan Johanessen and his family, known for their hotel and restaurants in Bekkjarvik in Western Norway, have opened a new restaurant at Highland Lodge in Geilo. Smakeriet Beefbar comes as a welcome addition to the pizzeria and bakery that is already there, and brings forward the concept from Smakeriet Burgerbar in Bekkjarvik, which the signs at the entrance clearly state. Inside, the interior is comfortable and modern, with chairs in both leather and rough fabric, combined with areas with softer, colorful velvet chairs. The tables along the walls have soft benches and no tablecloths. In contrast, some of the round tables in the center have white tablecloths. The kitchen is located behind a colorful wall with a large opening to the restaurant. This is where Ørjan Johanessen and his crew do their magic. several of the dishes are prepared on a Josper grill. On the menu you will find snacks and small dishes such as French onion soup, beef tartar, croque monsieur, chicken satay salad and even caviar and oysters. The main courses include tasty burgers and many steak varieties, from entrecote and BBQ pork ribs to Waguy steak from Japan. The menu offers something for every taste and wallet, but if you go for a steak, there are sauces, potatoes in various forms and other extras in addition - which are added to an already relatively steep price.
