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. Guests enjoy an 18-course dinner, curated by head chef Anika Madsen, while taking in panoramic views of the fiord, glaciers, and mountains. The entire experience lasts six hours.
