Gamleposten 5444 – create magical moments on Espevær

What is Gamleposten 5444?

Gamleposten 5444 on Espevær is a unique dining destination where local flavours, coastal history, and authentic storytelling come together. Rooted in local traditions, heritage, and fresh regional ingredients, the vision behind Gamleposten is to create genuine food experiences and memorable moments.

Siblings Silje, Rollaug, and Torstein grew up on the island of Espevær and have always shared a strong connection to their home community. In autumn 2015, they founded Gamleposten 5444 and purchased the historic property in Garden later that same year.

At Gamleposten 5444, every experience and menu is carefully tailored together with you.

Advance booking is required.
