Akershus Royal Banquet Hall (Norway, Epcot)

 

Dine in an authentic replica of a medieval Norwegian castle.

"Help yourself to the koldtbord" (cold table) is the catch phrase in Restaurant Akershus where guests are encouraged to make multiple trips to the table. The seafood and cold meat dishes provide an appetizing beginning for this authentic Norwegian dining experience. Gravlaks, a cured salmon served with mustard sauce; chilled shrimp; Norwegian-style herring and an assortment of salads and cheese make this first course a meal in itself.

Next come the smarvarmt, or hot dishes. A sampling of these delights would include lamb and cabbage, smoked pork with honey mustard sauce, venison strips in cream sauce and macaroni and cheese with ham. Mashed rutabagas and boiled red potatoes round out the hot selection. All beverages and desserts are served a la carte.

"We made priority seating arrangements at guest relations after entering Epcot. Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were seated immediately. The staff and our waiter were very friendly and helpful. We ordered our first round of hot entrees and then helped ourselves to the cold bord. The food was delicious and we worried about the size of the impending hot selections. To our relief, the hot selections were small appetizer sized, which one can order as many as one wishes; all covered by the price of the buffet. If you enjoy cold cuts, herring, smoked fish, a variety of cheeses and breads along with several Scandanavian hot dishes, this is the place for you. The dining hall had the feeling of a sound stage, but we rated the entire experience first rate." (1/05) Burke Hilliard

"My family and I ate at the Akershus restaurant yesterday evening and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were seated promptly without having priority seating. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was very good at recommending her favorite dishes and happy to help with any questions we had. Everyone we came in contact with was pleasant and curtious. We have never tried the Norway food before at EPCOT and were very surprised at how wonderful it was. The cold buffet was wonderful, with new dishes we had never tried. The hot food was wonderful as well and we all ordered a second dish to try one more item. We agreed we had eaten entirely too much, but enjoyed every moment of it. We decided to visit this restaurant again in the future and would recommend it to anyone who is willing to try new and delicious food." (7/03) Jennifer Krueger

"We went there for the buffet and were seated very quickly.The food and surroundings were wonderful!The service could not have been better.It is my number one choice of restaurants in disney world.I have been to disney world a number of times with my family for periods ranging from 7 to 10 days and have visited many of disney's eateriesbut i will always return to the akerhaus."

"We have been here before and enjoy it very much. We went for lunch w/o ps and were seated right away. The menu is really more cold foods than hot,but there is a variety. The cold foods were better than the hot foods! It was resonably priced. The service was very good also. The kids enjoyed it too. We didn't have desert here, though, it was too expensive. Instead, we went next door to the counter service for Norway and had the same desert for half the price! I would recomend this place if you like cold food and salads. If not, skip it!" Angela

"When eating the main meal at Norway, the food might be horrible, but their desserts make up for it!"
