An absolutely exceptional experience, out of the ordinary, very good constructed and everything is exactly falling into place with every minute during this experience.
We absolutely loved dining here, and the Under team is more than best prepared to offer you a very unique moment of taking part of their world and be part their well designed concept.

We had an outstanding experience at Under. Upon entering the building we were told about the history of this unique place (how it was built etc.) before being guided downstairs for an aperitif.

The food and the service is exceptional. Every dish was explained to us before serving. As a pairing, we took the alcohol free option, the juice pairing. Each juice was tailored by the sommelier to the respective part of the menu to fit the taste.

While reserving the table, I communicated my gluten intolerance. The dishes were slightly adapted to make them gluten free and the self made gluten free bread was the best bread I ever had.

What makes Under unique is the combination of great service, delicious food and the atmosphere. Having dinner 5.5 meters under water with a direct view at the sea life is just breathtaking.

Thanks for making our stay so special! We will definitely come back.

We travelled to Norway specifically to go to Under. From New Zealand. Worth it? Absolutely!
If the architecture and the view 5m under the ocean doesn't completely blow you away, the food and service will.
Because we had travelled so far, we went on both the Friday night and for the Saturday lunch.
On both occasions the welcome was warm, the food sublime. Every course delivered by one of the outstanding kitchen staff to talk through the procurement of local produce, the inspiration for the dish and their approach to sustainable hospitality.
I've been fortunate enough to eat at some wonderful restaurants but I've never experienced customer service like the team at Under provide.

For us, Under was the experience of a lifetime. A huge thank you to all the team that made it so special.

This is by far the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been. The location is really unbelievable: the dining room is 5 meters below the sea level and you can see the water and the fish through a large wall of glass. The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet: the waiters and the sommeliers were all caring and kind. The food too is great, they use mainly local products in their dishes. The menù is made of 11 courses (it took about 2 and a half hours to complete it) so in the end you're full even though the servings are small. The cost of the menù is 1950 NOK (about 180€), which in my opinion is correct given the uniqueness of the place and the quality of the food. It has been a truly memorable experience.
