⚠️ The Westerås entry is the single most useful line in this document. A reviewer states plainly: *"It would be challenging to get here without a car."* Another reports being charged 200 NOK for one hour of parking. So: the best-reviewed restaurant in Geiranger is effectively unreachable on a tender day without pre-arranged transport, and the parking is a trap for anyone who does drive. That is precisely the information a cruise passenger needs and precisely what a generic "top 10 restaurants in Geiranger" listicle will never tell them.
