Pearl by Harbor at Peters Plass - Balestrand

Paola D. L.

We had lunch in Pearl by Harbor and it was amazing. All the dishes were delicious with a lot of flavor in it. Several prawns in the pasta and the salads had the salt and sweet mixed together, which it was very good. My family loved it. The apple pie was served with vanilla ice cream, fresh fruits, strawberry puree and chocolate sauce on side. A huge thank you for Sebastian that was very friendly, smiley and did a great service. We would definitely recommend it!

Got off the ferry and had been planning to go to the Golden Fork (I think they are related?) and chose this one for the view. It is literally right across from the ferry. My son and I shared the dumplings—they were delicious! We then shared the cheesecake. Service was extremely friendly with a conversational waiter. We spent about 1 hour 15 minutes for lunch. We were not in a hurry. If you are in a hurry try somewhere else. The view is also great and the old house the restaurant is based in is charming 🙂

Wir waren zum Abendessen im Restaurant Pearl by Harbor at Peters Plass. Das Restaurant ist eher klein, aber dafür echt fein. Drinnen gibt es so sechs oder sieben Tische und auch draußen stehen welche. Wir saßen in der oberen Etage. Wir wurden freundlich begrüßt und konnten uns bei einer überschaubaren Auswahl an Gerichten entscheiden. Wir fanden es sehr fair, dass er uns statt zwei Fischsuppen eine für zwei Personen angeboten hat, weil er meinte, dass zwei zu viel wäre. Wenn wir noch Hunger haben, könnten wir aber Nachschlag bekommen.

Das Essen war echt lecker. Die Fischsuppe ist etwas anders als sonst, aber echt lecker. Der große Salat mit Huhn war echt lecker, und auch die Nudeln mit Scampi waren sehr gut. Man denkt, dass kleine Portionen genügen, aber in Wirklichkeit ist man danach total satt. Die Scampimenge ist auch echt super.

Insgesamt ein tolles kleines Lokal mit sehr netten Inhabern. Das Essen war echt lecker und das Ambiente angenehm.

Just got back from here and it was so good I had to take the time to shout them out. If you eat at one place in Balestrand - this is the place! We are probably going back tomorrow night because it’s that good. Charming proprietors - cozy interior - great water views - and my family tried a variety of menu items including the Ukrainian Dumplings, the pasta scampi, the Caesar salad, the chicken/veggies/potato in the pot (sorry, cannot remember what it was called) and everything was scrumptious! Maybe the best Caesar salad and shrimp pasta I’ve ever had. The dumplings and veggies-in-the-pot thingies were awesome as well.

Support this restaurant if you can. Very memorable meal and so glad we stopped in!

Unfortunately there is little photographic evidence of the amazingness because it was devoured before I could get out my camera, but here is a photo of the beautiful dumplings.

Best restaurant we have eaten at in years…maybe ever. We are a family of 6 and came right at one of their busiest times. They were polite and attentive. Each dish is freshly made. Everything was delicious …dumplings, scampi, beef medallions. The desserts were incredible. Don’t miss this gem.

The Pearl by Harbor is a must-visit for anyone in Balestrand. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by their friendly staff, Michael and Chef Helena. The menu offers a fantastic selection, featuring not only local dishes but also Ukrainian ones – the hot borscht is a must-try! My family had an exceptional experience that we won’t forget. I can’t wait to return!

Sebastian did steal the show but the food can also hold its own. Dog friendly on the outdoor patio. Started with a salmon salad to share and then a pasta dish to share. Hard working staff behind the scenes in the kitchen. Truly an international crowd. Our fellow diners were from London, Sweden, Kristiansund, Norway and Amelia Island, Florida, USA.

Nous avons été accueillies et servies très chaleureusement.
Nous nous sommes régalées les papilles avec le plat choisi.
Une mention spéciale à la cheffe de cuisine pour la spécialité ukrenienne qu'elle nous a préparé.
Le lieu est très petit, très cosy et convivial
