The cosy atmosphere and locally inspired menu make this the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Try the lamb burger, fish of the day, or veggie bowl, and pair it with a locally brewed beer or creative cocktail.\n\nAs you relax and enjoy your meal, take a moment to share stories of the day’s adventures and reflect on all the incredible sights you’ve experienced. This is your time to unwind and savour the warmth of Midgard’s hospitality. Feel free to stay another night with us here at Midgard Base Camp, we would love to have you!\n\n","type":"text"}]}]
