    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.

    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

    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

    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

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

    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!

    Local cod (wolf fish) - excellent
    Jim R.

    We made a reservation well in advance and dined here on one of our nights while visiting rainy Bergen. This is a VERY Popular restaurant with multiple small rooms, nooks and crannies in the main dining space which is upstairs (this is where you should reserve your table-well in advance). The highly regional menu features many Norwegian dishes including reindeer loin and various preparations of (minke) whale meat. We opted for a local cod (wolf fish) and a halibut. Both were good but the cod was outstanding with a flavorful sauce and vegetables. Of course each meal came with potatoes (mashed with mine and boiled with the cod) but I think it might be possible to substitute. Service was a bit leisurely since it was so busy but our polish server did a nice job taking care of us. We were seated in the back but you should try to get a table near the windows. A bit pricey but that's the norm in Norway. Good quality food,

    The first restaurant we stopped in to upon our arrival in Bergen, and this was a wonderful experience to be had for the dining and the cultural knowledge. The location is right in the heart of the Bryggen, which is one of the touristy areas, as I am one, and is convenient because it right next to all of the shopping in the area, and all the cool local shops and stores. The service here was very professional and friendly, we arrived some time between lunch and dinner, and both menus were available to order from, which gave great variety. I decided to try something new, and unusual to me, which is the "Reindeer", which apparently is a delicacy here in Norway, so I went in for it as a main. The dish came with Potatos, just regular potatoes. That wasn't particularly seasoned with anything, so it's just potatoes. The preparation looked great, the meat was very tender and reminded me of a cross of very lean steak, and almost like Duck as well. Overall it was enjoyable, I don't know if I would order it again elsewhere, but I can now say I've had Reindeer. Great establishment to stop in and enjoy some Norwegian Cultural Cuisine. 5 stars

    Fish soup
    Boris M.

    Don't let the location fool you. Right in the middle of the Bryggen Tourist center is one of the most authentic old Bergen restaurants that you must try. Located in a classic old 20th century building, Bryggeloftet provides the classic interior to match the authentic food you will receive. I always order the classic fish soup appetizer and while I went with the Mussels this time, my wife chose a fish/shrimp dish with vegetables and a side of potatoes. You can never go wrong here whether it comes to cod or halibut dishes and while I enjoyed my tastefully prepared mussels, I will certainly go back to eating a nice piece of flaky white fish next go-round. Or perhaps I will go with the full plate of scallops as my scallop appetizer left me dying for more. We finished off the experience with the rich, fudge chocolate and raspberry dessert for me and an Apple Cobbler for my wife. A nice walk through the city followed to help make. Room for our next food adventure.

    Really enjoyed dining at Bryggeloftet for dinner! Our waitress was super friendly with explaining the menu to us as well as identifying vegetarian items for my friends. They opted to order the vegetarian lasagne and commented on the freshness of the ingredients as well as the seasoning. I personally ordered Norwegian cod which came with a creme fresh like sauce, potatoes, carrots, and a vegetable mash. The dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. The cod tasted very fresh and paired well with the sauce giving it some more definition. The carrots and potatoes would have benefited from a bit more seasoning though. The ambiance here is super nice as there are a bunch of paintings and is located in a historical building near the water. Very solid food and even better service, would totally recommend stopping by here if you are in search of traditional Norwegian food!

The flavors were excellent and this was served with a side of fried potatoes, green beans along with a bed of creamy mushroom. The vibes from the Gen Z staff were lit too.

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.
