Referat fra Bailliage de Bergens Julearrangement på Bekkjarvik 3. desember 2016 (noe forsinket)
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs annual Christmas Dinner is a popular tradition in Bergen and one we take very seriously. Our members appreciate this chance to meet and enjoy the company of fellow food‐ and wine lovers and to relax around the table. We usually keep this a relatively informal and laid back event, focusing on ambiance and the Holiday spirit.
This year we decided to change the concept a little. We made plans to go to Bekkjarvik, the capital of the small island community Austevoll, situated on the coastline of Western Norway. The inhabitants of Austevoll are fishermen and entrepreneurs, specializing in fresh fish and shellfish, harvested directly from the ocean, but they also have ecologically raised sheep and wild deer from local farmers and hunters. No wonder Østein and Asta Johannessen decided to start their restaurant and guesthouse, “Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri”, in the ancient Royal guesthouse, built by Danish King Christian Quart, in the early 17th century.
