Mexican food in downtown Bergen? Sure, sounds fun! We were sold on the restaurant after chatting…read morewith the bartender outside about the menu. I will say it was very slow to receive drinks and food. So if you're in a real hurry it might not be a great place for you. Decor is funky and amazing. We were seated next to a window filled with bones. The lighting was cool. It felt like you were in a bar in Mexico. The menu is a mix of various Latin dishes and drinks. I went with a Brazilian drink that was so good that I ordered another. Not sure the alcohol was high but the taste with the juice was so refreshing. My dining partner tried a couple of beers and enjoyed them. For food, I went with the Argentinian steak as they were out of the pork dish I wanted to try. It was so good. Seasoned great, huge with a ton of potatoes and creamy corn to go with it. The other dish was a veggie cheese pie. Hmm, just so so. The veggies were a bit bland and it didn't have much spice level until we pored on the available sauces at the table. Prices were great too - you get a lot of food and there is a lot of choice on the menu. It took awhile for them to give us the check, we finally went up to the bar to pay. As I said, it's a nice relaxing meal and not a fast food place so be prepared to have a bit of a wait and just enjoy your surroundings.

My husband and I were super pleased with our meal. We decided to share the triple chicken skewers and ordered and extra pita and hummus. Wow! The portions were huge. We could've gotten away with sharing a double skewer without the extra pita. The meal started with a nice warm complimentary lentil soup. The pita was enormous and super light and fluffy. The chicken was super tender and juicy. I love that the skewers came out on the plate without the skewer so it made it easier to eat. Overall delicious and a great value for all the food!

The restaurant is styled like an American saloon with cowboy hats and western decor around the dining area and American country music playing in the background. They also have outdoor seating. We tried their tapas plate. I have to admit that my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aioli was quite tasty and sweet and sour and ranch sauces were fine. The onion rings, chicken wings, and fried shrimp were on par with the best I have had, and the other fried foods were decent as well. The grapes were particularly good, and the red ones had a flavor that I had never encountered before. Overall, I had a great experience at Vossevangen Grill & Steakhouse and would recommend their tapas plate.

It is located in earshot of the Floibanen Funicular. We ordered a la carte (not tasting menu). The starters were all lovely, but the pasta was extremely salty. Maybe the chef had a too heavy hand. The langoustine (local specialty) was super yummy. The hummus was a crowd favorite. I got the chicken entree which was delicious. It's hard to cook chicken right. This one was slightly chewy/undercooked in my opinion, but didn't detract from the dish overall. We were too full for dessert! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was top-notch.

Because we dined during an off-time, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves, though I imagine it gets busier during peak hours. Our waitress sat us by the window and recommended sharing a few plates family-style. (Note: The menu may rotate.) For anyone who wants their own meal, they do have a main dish that is meant for a single serving. That day, it was the Persetorsk fish with pea purée, cider butter sauce and trout roe. My dad ordered it and thought the fish was good, but found the sauce quite salty (and not just from the roe). + BRAISED OX CHEEK: Super tender, lean, succulent. It fell apart with just a touch of a fork! Served on top of smooth mashed potatoes and a flavorful demi-glace. + STEAK w/ PEPPER SAUCE: My favorite dish! The steak was cooked to a perfect medium and the pepper sauce was subtle, allowing the quality of the beef to shine. I enjoyed alternating bites of it alone and with the baked onion. The broccolini had a great crunch and the celery purée added a fresh, earthy balance. + BAKED CAULIFLOWER: The most flavorful cauliflower that I've ever had! Roasted sections came topped with finely chopped kale chimichurri (mixed with onion, spices & pepitas), all sitting on a cauliflower purée. So good and a perfect vegetarian dish! + CIDER STEAMED MUSSELS: Plump, sweet mussels served in a velvety, slightly briny cider sauce. I couldn't help but drink a couple spoonfuls of the sauce by itself after we finished the mussels. Our waitress was very friendly and we appreciated her help with navigating the menu. The dishes were served at a comfortable pace with the mussels first as a starter, followed by the rest of the dishes. I would consider the pricing to be on the elevated side since it's considered an upscale modern bistro, however it's definitely worth splurging for their creative and well-executed plates. We found Marg & Bein on a whim, and it ended up being one of our top meals in Bergen! 4.75 stars.

Only note is it is fairly pricey.
