    Classy and elegant ambiance. They have 2 stories, first floor welcomes walk in but it's first come first serve, so when there's time a cruise ship boards, the wait can be long. The second floor is for reservations only and I recommend a reservation. It's not hard to book but do book as early as you can to get the normal time slots. I checked maybe 2.5 months ago and all the time slots for dinner were available, but a couple weeks later, only the early dinner time slots like 4pm is available. The service is nice but not frequent and the host is friendly. We were allowed to use the restroom before my reservation time. I love the menu, it carries so many Nordic traditional dishes, such as the whale steak, reindeer steak, Atlantic wolffish (catfish), deer stew, mussels, etc. We ordered the grilled reindeer steak and the pan fried wolffish. Both are beautifully plated, good portions and delicious with the right amount of seasoning. The Nordic cuisine likes to use local fruits to add sweetness to the sauce. I took out 1star because t hey are pricy. For entrees in the price range of 40-60 is fine, but when the desserts are priced at 20+, they lose the marginal satisfaction. Great location, great food. If your time in Bergen is short, this is one proper meal worth splurging on.

    Halibut

    The food and service were amazing! I had the halibut and it was delicious. My table mates also strongly recommended the reindeer (sorry I couldn't eat Rudolph!) and steak. Overall, wonderful meal and experience.

    It was a very unorganized arrival as we had a reservation and still stood there 10 min waiting for someone to pay attn. once we sat down , service was quite slow and they had a friend pop in so they were all busy chatting with the friend (needed to wave her down ) Caesar was actually dressing with a small side of lettuce but chicken was great (ask for easy dressing or on the side Now the good stuff .. On water (opt to sit outside ) Shrimp sandwich was delicious (bread was a bit too hard and I needed a steak knife to cut it but was yummy ! Pavlova with cloud berries was to die for !!

    Potato au gratin side dish

    This restaurant was recommended to us by our tour director and very close to our hotel. Reservations are a must and even the day before, I was limited to what was available. However, the restaurant lived up to its hype. The restaurant is romantic and loaded with European ambiance. This is the kind of place where you know you aren't in Kansas anymore. Lamb is something that I love, so I was happy to see it on the menu. It was incredibly good. Not gamy at all, wonderful cooked, flavorful, and tender. It was fantastic. My wife and I split the huge portion of excellent potatoes au gratin that came with my lamb. It was creamy and tasty. Norwegians LOVE potatoes, so some sort of potato dish is a requirement, I think. My wife had a vegetarian hamburger that came with fries and veggies. She said that it lacked flavor, but it looked good. The fries were excellent.

    If you're visiting Bergen, you'll likely hear about Bryggeloftet & Stuene as the must-eat restaurant in town. I mean, I did, which is why after a day of traveling to Bergen from Oslo, I desperately needed sustenance and Bryggeloftet & Stuene was on my list and near my hotel. I walked in on a Tuesday night and no, I was denied. The place was packed, but the friendly hostess took my name down for a reservation for the following day. So that's what to do here. Make a reservation if you can't get in because everyone wants to eat here. The following day during my reserved time, it was a much more satisfying experience since I ate here! The restaurant is located just across the pier and along Bryggen, and inside, it's decorated with old paintings and photos of Bergen and Norway with classic, wood furnishings all around. It takes you back to Bergen's former days, which is the charm of this place. Staff could not have been friendlier. Bryggeloftet & Stuene has traditional, Norwegian food. I ordered the wolffish, which was in season, and the fish came with veggies and a side of potatoes to however you want them made. And this is when I learned that the area prepares potatoes dauphinoise, which is like au gratin and was sooo delicious. My dish comprised of fresh wolffish in a lemon, dill sauce, fresh vegetables and of course, with the side of dauphinoise potatoes. But this is the kind of restaurant that no matter what you order, everything will be delicious here. Ya gotta eat at Bryggeloftet & Stuene when in Bergen.

    One of my tour guide recommended this place (he recommended the lutefisk, but I was not feeling that adventurous). This place gets busy, so be sure to get a reservation. I tried to walk in one evening and they were not able to accommodate me, but I was able to get a seat the next day for a late lunch. I started with the Bergen fish soup. It was simply delicious with or without the butter. I had the reindeer for my entrée and I was pleasantly surprised how tender it turned out. The sauce and lingonberry also paired very well with the reindeer.

    Wolf Fish
    Sonnet L.

    The Deer shank was very meaty and didn't taste gamy at all. The Wolf Fish was very meaty and tender. We also tried Smoked Whale appetizer and it was very smoky but didn't taste fishy. We were told that was Minky Whale and sustainably harvested.

    Langoustine
    Lawrence C.

    This was another restaurant that I had seen recommended online for places to check out in Bergen. Located next to the piers, the location is a pretty convenient one to get to. There are two levels to the restaurant, and there was plenty of space for me at lunch when I went. The waiters were very helpful and I was seated right away after arriving. I wanted to try out more of the local dishes in Bergen, so I decided to order the Langoustine here. They give you a whole plate of Langoustine to eat, which I was pleasantly surprised as it was a sizable portion. The seafood was very fresh and tasty, with juicy meat awaiting me once I cracked open the shell. Even though I just had this one dish I can imagine the other seafood dishes at this restaurant would be of similar quality. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my experience here and urge those wanting authentic Norwegian cuisine to check it out!

    Moules
    Dan A.

    This spot is the oldest (since 1910) Bergen restaurant and was highly recommended. Saturday evening reservation wasn't happening but we lucked out for a Sunday evening res at 7:30. We were seated upstairs and had a bit of a harbor view from our table. Rustic interior and felt like we were in a large cabin-atmosphere went along nicely with our food. Ordered Norwegian Beers-Hansa Blonde and Nogne Southern IPA-both were enjoyed. We decided to each order an appetizer and share two entrees-really nice they were accommodating. Bergen Soup was full of shrimp, and fish dumplings-perfect for a chilly evening, the Bruschetta was different given the sliced vs chopped tomatoes-delicious and saw a few other tables ordering this one, and Scallops and Chorizo-quality vs quantity and excellent! For main it was the Moules Frites and Fish Casserole. Moules was perfect for sharing with a generous portion of delicious Mussels. The Fish Casserole was more of a stew with a plethora of fresh fish, Lobster, shrimp, scallops to name a few. We enjoyed both dishes and perfect for 3. Service was fun and engaged-our server took great care of us. Looking back, I do wish we would've ordered a Meat/Game dish-next time! Reservations are a must-Don't miss this amazing Norwegian Experienc

    Mussels
    Kristin T.

    What a great spot. The food was unique. We had reindeer, whale steaks, and a smoked whale appetizer. All were delicious.

    Mussels
    Justine R.

    I know this place is touristy - but it is definitely a delicious and memorable experience when visiting Bergen and I'm so glad my partner and I made the visit! We did have to wait quite a bit for a table, it can get busy around dinner time. But it was well worth it to try some local cuisine. The seafood soup was delicious, as well as the mussels. We loved our fish main too! Highly recommend, despite the "touristy" nature of this restaurant.

    Bergen Fish Soup
    Alan L.

    Though it felt a bit touristy, it was highly recommended and indeed it was very worth it. The food was very delicious. We got the mussels and the quantity was amazing. Easily over 200 mussels, and the subs was delicious. The mussels were fresh and did not have any sand, so we would highly recommend this! We also got the reindeer steak, which was very well cooked as well. It was tender and the gravy delicious. It was a tad bit gamey, but not as much as we expected given that it's reindeer. The gravy definitely helps cover up the gameness if that's not what you want. The fish soup was delicious as well, as the fish was very tender and fresh.

    Catfish and cod
    Nikki L.

    We were intimidated by the crowd without having a booking but was able to get seated for 2 around 7:30pm on a Wednesday for walk in. Had delicious Atlantic catfish and cod main courses. Very busy and flipping tables quickly. Impressed by staff!

    We had dinner here on a cold & rainy Norwegian evening. Since it was across our hotel, we opted to…read moreeat here inside Mathallen (Bergen's indoor fish market). The two servers waiting for the diners inside the vinyl-covered sunroom of Fish Me were on top of their game. Obliging our requests for photos and even allowing us to move tables, when we saw the harbour view seats were available. Smiles and yeses, came out of their mouths, which was surprisingly uncommon in Europe. For the food, though this was inside was a fish market and them aptly named Fish Me, we didn't order fish. We opted for the only two items in the "Meat Dishes" section of the menu. I had the Whale Steak (minke) which is technically a mammal, while my wife got Reindeer Entrecôte. We paired this with a Pinot Noir and Spicy Hot Chocolate. Both tasted like beef with the gamey flavor offsetted by the red wine sauce and the caramelized green beans. My presumption proven wrong, we left satiated and considered this a winning choice.

The fish was cooked perfectly for my taste (a little on the moister side), and the dish was actually fairly large and plenty filling. Service was great. Our waitress was super friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and spoke great English. Prices were very fair by Norwegian & Bergen standards. My meal was just over $20, the total bill for two people was around $60. If I had spent more time in Bergen I definitely would've come back to try another one of their dishes.

A few helpful hints: Ask the bartender for a menu, take a seat and then head back up to the bar to place your order. They have a pitcher of water at the end of the bar with glasses so no need to add an extra expense for bottled water. Remember on Sunday a bar or restaurant is the only spot you will get alcohol so don't think you can grab some beer at the Kiwi or Rema and drink at home/hotel. I got the herring with lingonberries which sounded weird to me but after the first bite I was sold!! I cleaned the whole plate with ease because it was so good. The prices are affordable compared to other spots in Norway so assure you go downstairs because the menu and prices are different.

As soon as I checked into my hotel, I asked the concierge for recommendations of where to eat and they said that Enhjorningen was their favorite restaurant for seafood. Sold.

But you must walk up the stairs for the entrance as the downstairs/retail level of this building is actually a bar. And when I walked in the restaurant, I found a charming spot with many old framed paintings and ornate decorations. So it was a little stuffy and the staff was not the friendliest, but you know what? This place isn't touristy unlike many of the other Bergen restaurants, so that's a win. The menu was straightforward with many different seafood entrees, a full wine list and some small bites, desserts and cocktails. I started with the salmon carpaccio and had the halibut for my main dish. And let me tell you, the food was amazing. The seafood was incredibly fresh and tasty. The salmon carpaccio had some pickled veggies with for some crunch and was light. And the halibut dish was one of the best halibut dishes I've ever had! It was so flaky with a lemon, dill sauce, dauphinoise potatoes and beans. I could've licked the plate, but this place was way too fancy for that sort of thing.
