A good place to purchase groceries in Bergen, Norway is Meny. They carry everything you would…read moreexpect a grocery store in the United States to have. Cannot tell you how their prices compare to the competition. Norway is an expensive place to live, but I do enjoy visiting this amazing country. Anyways at Meny, I especially enjoy their baked goods. They make some delicious treats. My favorite item so far is their Marzipan cake. So good! Shop Meny!

Having such a large and comprehensive grocery store just few minutes from my house, is a luxury…read moreboth when I'm on my way home from the office and on those lazy Saturdays when you actually had no plan of leaving the house. Rema 1000 doesn't offer a serviced counter for fresh meat, fish, cheeses etc., but over the years they have expanded their selection of those kind of products from refrigerators and their franchise on Nattland holds most of what I need for everyday cooking. The staff is also helpful and smiling, a service that is not given in Norway. The owner lives in the neighborhood and you can tell he takes pride in his shop. Prices are on the regular Rema level, and the chain seem to win every competition when it comes to comparison with other grocery chains, and when they're not standing back on quality, this is my everyday store.

Excellent selection of organic produce and vegan specialty items, steps from the center of Bergen…read more This small health food shop stocks a wide variety of vegan meats, cheeses, and snacks. Their prices are generally extremely high, but sometimes convenience and specialty items are worth paying a bit extra for. They have several items on sale, which are a good bargain no matter what your budget is. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. All credit cards accepted.

We like checking out grocery stores during our vacations because we like to get food gifts for…read moreourselves and our friends and family. I tend to like to go to grocery stores for this instead of souvenir shops because they're a bit cheaper and you get to glimpse into the lives of the people who live and work in these areas. Makes me feel closer to the culture. Rema is one of the larger chains, and it was on the path of our adventure, so we came right in. The store is clean and well organized. There is a large selection, even though the store itself isn't that large. We were surprised at the sheer volume of stuff they were able to fit into the store but still well organized. We were able to get most of the items I was looking for (especially brunost cheese and Troika bars) for a very reasonable price. The people working here were helpful and the person checking us out was very friendly.

Pretty respectable grocery store with most of the basics you'd expect. Open till 11pm.read more

I bought a 2K bag of chickpeas full of beetles, went to the store and was denied a return/refund…read more The manager just told me: "This is not our problem, it's their problem (meaning the brand)". 60 NOK is a lot for an international student, a little bit of sympathy would have been welcomed... the bottom line of this is, before buying in this store, check -very- carefully your chickpeas!

Nice selection of ethnic foods, spices, seasonings that you don't find at other grocery stores…read more Open on Sunday until 18:00. Decent prices. Good selection of frozen meats and fish.

Work brings me to Bergen from time to time and I've had the good fortune to dine at Colonialen twice. Once with two good friends and another time simply by myself. A restaurant has to be amazing to get me to sit alone for 3.5 hours to go through all the courses. The food here is imaginative and consistent. The wine pairings are spot-on. Listing the 20 or so dishes I've eaten there would take forever, so I'll stick with two or three of the standouts. The first was a group of northern grains served in a mortar with a pestle. You ground up the grains with the pestle and an oxtail consomme was poured over top. This was painfully delicious. It was so good that I shamelessly begged (and received) a second. On my second visit, the staff recognized me and gave me a lot of attention (which was nice since I was alone). I had long conversations with the chef and the sommalier about how they sourced their food and selected their wines. Their wine pairings are eclectic (france, germany, italy, pacific northwest, even a Norwegian selection worked its way in). If you are in Bergen or traveling to Bergen, this needs to be on your list ... perhaps more than anything else in town.
