Åkrafjordtunet is the cultural center of the fjord. It lies near the E 134 and has both shop, cafe, accommodation and tourist information. This 'different' shop offers the customer something a little 'different'. In 2011 the shop was awarded the Merkur Award for being the best countryside shop in Norway!
Besides normal grocery items the shop stocks quality goods from over 20 selected local producers, for example, cured and smoked meats and sausages from Johs Lundal & Sons. The production house and smoking facilities, of which, lies next to Åkrafjordtunet so it is natural that the shop stocks its products and functions as its wholesale outlet. In 1998 Johs Lundal & Sons won a prestigious Norwegian award for having the best cured meat products. Goat inner filet, goat meat, duck breasts, wild meat, dried/cured lamb, home made meat patties, soft potato bread as well as hard flat bread are just some of the treats the customer can be tempted with at the shop. The cafe seats over 120 people, is open everyday and serves home cooked meals based on local recipes and local ingredients. "Those interested in Vestlandet´s culinary specialities have no choice but to head to Åkrafjordtunet." Quoted from Roads to Western Food by Erling T. Gjelsvik.
Åkrafjorden is widely known for its food traditions and the cafeteria is famous for its excellent cuisine. Most of the dishes are based on local ingredients. You can take in the view of the fjord from one of the many windows of the cafe while enjoying your food/refreshment. If there is something you really liked on your plate, feel free to enquire, because there is great "danger" that you can purchase it to go, from the award winning shop. The premises can also be used as an events venue for both small and large groups. Visit us on www.akrafjordtunet.no or try our online store ww.spekehuset.no, or just drop by!
