Engø Gård Hotel & Restaurant

Greit opphold på Engø Gård Vi booket opphold på engø for feiring av bursdag og bestilte gourmetmiddag, 9retter, for 3 pers. Det var kunstverk som ble servert, men smak og behag er forskjellig og vi likte to - tre av rettene, men vi spiste alle og ble jo mette...det mest positive for oss var at det ble tatt veldig godt hensyn til lactoseintoleranse for en person. Det minst positive for oss var at all kommunikasjon foregikk på engelsk, noe vi ikke mestret, vanskelig å skjønne at det ikke kommuniseres på norsk på norske restauranter. Rommene var greie, men lite kjøling, uten tv og gjennomsiktig dør til bad/wc. Absolutt ikke noe for oss. Fine uteområder og bassengfasiliteter. Fin frokost, men kaos da vi kom, manglet bestikk, manglet brød, måtte bestille kaffe....personalet sto på og løp rundt for å serve gjestene...kanskje kom frokostgjestene samtidig og det ble for mye rett og slett? Uansett: slik skal det ikke være på en eksklusiv plass som koster dobbelt så mye som andre hotell i området...for oss er det nok ikke aktuelt å komme tilbake, men kan anbefales for yngre og kjøpesterke folk som er komfortable med både språk og annet levesett...

For a long time I wanted to visit Engø Gård. And finally I was lucky to visit as my friends were incredebly kind and invited me to celebrate my birthday during a weekend in October. We arrived in beautiful weather and started the celebration with afternoon tea and champagne in the Library. Food and drinks were great! The room "Utsikten best" was lovely with the nicest view. The large windows gave the impression we were living in the forest with seaview. We could spot deers passing by in front of the sea. Very comfy beds, fluffy pillows and a panorama bathtub. Beautiful weather so we took the chance for a stroll down to the harbour and the "seahouse" in a perfect location on the edge of the rocks, directly accessible by boat. Would be great to come back for a lunch or a party in the "seahouse". Some friends took a nap before dinner, but my friend and I went down for a dip in the sea. Too cold for me, not for my friend, she went out into the water for a swim! Prepared for a set 10 course dinner with wine pairing in the restaurant, we sat down by the table with the best view during sunset. Every course were absolutely delicious and perfectly paired with wine, and kindly explained by the waiter. Dinner lasted for 4 hours, and I enjoyed every minute! After a good night sleep, we went for breakfast and were lucky to have a table with a nice seaview again. The buffet was extensive with local ecological and short-travelled food. Thank you to the world's best friends!
