Ever hear of expedition dining?
A restaurant in Norway has gone viral. And for good reason. Sustainable seafood concept Iris opened late this spring inside the 1,256-tonne Salmon Eye experience center—envisioned by Copenhagen-based Kvorning Design & Communication—which floats on Hardangerfjord. Dubbed an exclusive journey of “expedition dining,” Iris, which features a design by Norm Architects, is only accessible via boat (a reservation includes an electric boat ride to and from the town of Rosendal) and can accommodate 24 guests per night.
