We had the wonderful pleasure of dining at the Michelin star restaurant Under, just down the road from our house. The worlds largest underwater restaurant was epic! 17 course meal, everything produced and caught within a 4km radius of the restaurant, added to that a delish wine pairing with every dish, it was a meal to remember. @underlindesnes #underlindesnes #under #finedining #michelinstar #michelinguide #foodie @visitlindesnes @visitnorway
