Lyspunktet (The Bright Spot) is a cafe and light lunch restaurant in the town centre, known for good coffee, open-faced sandwiches, and simple hot dishes made with local produce. It is the kind of place Ålesund residents go for a working lunch or a weekend brunch — unpretentious, warm, and consistently good.
The cafe is well placed for taking a break from walking the Art Nouveau streets, and the staff are used to tourists and helpful with local tips. It gets busy at midday on weekends.
