A Nordic Awakening - Gourmet Traveller magazine visits Fedje

Monique Ceccato heads beyond Norway’s capital to discover some of the country’s finest culinary experiences. Among the places she travelled to was our small island and the distillery.

"I keep half of the sweet bun for my early morning ferry north, day two of my bespoke culinary-themed itinerary taking me an hour and a half out of Bergen. Fedje Island, population around 500, is the kind of place Up Norway is practised in finding for its guests: off-the-radar to many international travellers but entirely deserving of the spotlight. It’s quintessential coastal Norway, with traditional timber homes teetering on the island’s rocky edge, and small fishing boats bobbing in the ferry’s wake. I disembark in the heart of town, though the term is a bit rich given it’s nothing more than a small supermarket, two eateries, a pub and a distillery."
