After our late arrival into Bergen we decided to eat some Norwegian fish dishes at Pingvinen…read more We arrived at the right time and got seated at the back table. Service was fairly quick. Menu contained a number of Norwegian dishes of seafood, meat (including reindeer) and vegetarian. We knew ahead of time we wanted to try the plukkfisk and gratinated fish pie. The pie was the best dish for us that night. It had a nice and creamy texture along with a crunch on the crust due to the frying. It was a light dish compared to the plukkfisk. The plukkfisk was quite heavy with this fish/mashed potato mixture and while the fried bacon added some texture it could've used a little more acid for our tastes.

In fact I think our server was the owner, and he let us know that his wife was the cook (after we complimented our meals). Prices are very reasonable and there is a nice selection of fish and meat dishes. My husband and I shared the pork belly taco (appetizer) and the fish and chips plate. Our friend ordered the last available flank steak. Everything came out timely and was delicious! There was enough food to go around and no one left hungry. I'm really glad that our friend stumbled upon this restaurant. It was not crowded and had a lovely evening atmosphere for our last evening in town. It was walkable from our Airbnb and in a cute neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

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.

It felt like they wanted to be there and it wasn't overly crowded and we didn't have a wait when we visited. They prided themselves on their free drink refills, a very non-European thing. My wife and daughter both got burgers and raved about them. They said they were better than any burger from a Friday's in the US. We wondered if it wasn't maybe better meat even. They seriously loved them. I had the chicken quesadilla and I can't say that I had the same experience. It was pretty tasteless, almost like boiled chicken put in a tortilla. But they cared and wanted to know why it wasn't good to help make it better. I'd absolutely recommend a stop in for locals and travelers!

Great decor - semi minimal but warm and cozy. I dig it. The goods: After eating random Icelandic cuisine for a few days, I was really looking for something light. I order the chicken salad and it was delicious! The greens were fresh, the check was tender, and the whole damn thing was full of flavour. The dressing was similar to a Caesar dressing, which appealed to me less but it was good nonetheless. I got some raspberry juice and that was a lovely treat. Great little spot to check out if you're in Bergen. Service: OK. Price point: All I know is that shit is expensive in Norway. Especially if, like me, you're coming from Canada. Our dollar generally sucks! That said, this didn't break the bank (I don't think... ).

The atmosphere is modern with large glass windows looking out to the walkways of the city. The decor is simple, rustic with dark tones throughout the dining area. The natural light is beautiful while dining at 8 pm! It doesn't get dark at night! Service is somewhat slow here. Our order was taken after other guests were seated after us, and we noticed their orders were taken before us. Maybe our server was distracted? Finally, after waiting for quite some time, our server appeared and took our drink and meal orders. Unfortunately, our dishes came out at all different times. The three course meal was served very late. Maybe due to the seafood? We shared our calamari , salad and pizza together, while waiting for the linguine. Still water and sparkling water are served here upon request. Our order: Appetizer-Calamari fritti (deep fried calamari with aioli and lemon, Insalata piccola (small side salad with cherry tomatoes, pickled red onion and honey and mustard vinaigrette). Main three course menu, Della Casa-Bruschetta ai pomodorina (crispy focaccia with stracciatella, vegan 'nduja, and a mix of semi-dried and marinated tomatoes), Linguine ai frutti di mare ( classic pasta dish with mussels, scampi, heart shells in spicy tomato sauce), and Torte al limone ( tangy lemon crème, crispy short crust, topped with light Italian meringue). Pizza: Parma ai pomodori secchi ( prosciutto di Parma, chèvre cream, honey, semi dried tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, rocket -asked not to add this, and pine nuts). The food was amazing here. Just the timing of the service and presentation of dishes were unfortunate. Minus one star for the timing issues.
