OUR FOOD
More than just food
"The dining hall is the heart of the school." Here, there is joy in food, and we work together to create a warm and inclusive atmosphere.
We care about what you eat. Welcome to a meal where the food is good, flavorful, and sustainable.
Sustainable food philosophy
Our sustainable food philosophy is about serving meals that are not only flavorful but also nutritious and well-rooted in environmentally conscious choices. We follow a food philosophy that focuses on sustainability, quality, and taste.
We make food from scratch, from farm to table, and offer a varied selection of organic and nutritious dishes. Currently, about 40% of our food is organic.
You will almost certainly eat things you have not eaten before; we want to challenge you on flavors. Everything from Asian fusion to traditional cuisine.
Dietary adjustments for allergies
We understand that many have special dietary needs, and we accommodate these. We accommodate for:
lactose-free
gluten-free
pescetarian
vegetarian
vegan
If you have special needs, we are happy to have a conversation to adapt the meals. Contact us with questions about diet and dietary adjustments. tanita@sogndal.fhs.no
Locally sourced food
We focus on locally sourced food because it provides fresher flavors, gives us food from farm to table, and supports local farmers. By using ingredients from our own orchard, vegetable garden, and the local area, we help reduce our environmental footprint.
