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.

Simple, straightforward, and very well cooked. It was a hearty bowl of soup, loaded with large chunks of white fish, a delicious creamy base, and some buttered bread on the side. The soup was robust without feeling oily or heavy. The portion was a bit small for me, but I still enjoyed the flavors and was glad to have come here for a delicious lunch!

Didn't expect me to say this while eating at a restaurant in Norway but the chilli burger is REALLY…read moreHOT ! When my Norwegian friends say hot, it's normally just a tickle on the tongue - but this was some real hot stuff. Fortunately I like hot dishes and think it was tasty, however if I'd known before I would suggest to add cheese to get a more balanced flavour. Great place to visit - the interior is not very cosy but alright - decent assortment of beers but the staff weren't very knowledgeable. The fries was normal but nothing special - to get a five they would need to add dip sauces to their menu, educate the staff about the beers and balance out the burgers a bit. All in all, four runners out of five athletes.

There are actually two restaurants in this location, a casual restaurant called Bien Bar, and a…read moremore upscale restaurant simply called Bien. The location is four stops on the tram line from the city center of Bergen and definitely worth the short ride (or by taxi). It is actually an old very high-end pharmacy that has beautiful wood work and cabinetry. You will very much enjoy the ambiance, casual and well appointed. If you are looking for a local restaurant, away from the tourists, with great food this is it. There are about eight table seating twenty or so patrons. The menu is a four course fixed price menu with wine parings available. We had one person wait on us who was terrific, he explained the ingredients in every dish and brought us multiple additional courses. All of the dishes will really wonderful and beautifully plated. We didn't recognize many of the wines but each was a perfect match for the food. Don't be impatient this is a minimum two hour meal-we took almost three. But many of the locals were there before we arrived and still there when we left. Clearly this a gathering place for great food and friends!

It was quiet on Monday, 1945. Classic rock tunes playing, not too loud. You order up at the bar, and they bring you your food. What the heck is up with not having any mayo??? That in and of itself should constitute ONE STAR. But, the garlic aioli substitute was actually to die for, so I'll let it slide. The burgers are fairly 'well' cooked, but it was still pretty flavorful and moist. You do get your choice of patty size. I got a medium and actually felt it was on the small side, so keep that in mind. Comes with a side "salad" which is basically a few leaves, and the fries are pretty decent as well. The hot dipping sauce that comes with the Fireball burger packs a nice punch. Overall I thought the experience was good.

A small Bar in the back with a cozy dining area. Also, have outside seating. We started with appetizers-Mozzarella sticks and Onion Rings. Nothing special and were ok-no marinara for the Mozz sticks?-looks like you have to ask for it and there would be a charge. Enjoyed the Hansa (local) IPA and Mango (seasonal) IPA. Mostly a Burger (with some other sandwich & Vegan Burger options) themed spot with names that are based on ingredients or Chef stories. The Cabo Burger was "Burger of the day" and was enjoyed. I ordered the Fyllaburger-how could I pass up Norway's most famous Hangover Burger? -especially since I had a Travel Hangover- got the BBQ sauce on the side. Pickled jalapeños and their Aioli made for a tasty Burger. All Burgers are made well-done-apparently a legal requirement. Food/Drinks are ordered at the Bar and food is brought out to your table. Service was friendly. We saw they had another location in Bergen and a couple more in the region. Burger comfort can be found and experienced here.

We were guided to grab a menu and a seat and then order at the bar when we were ready. Considering it's counter service- everyone who helped us was very friendly and accommodating. We were offered samples of draft beers before making a commitment, and the bartender suggestions were on point for every suggestion. The burgers were definitely worth it. I had the BBQ burger and my partner had the Wellington. Both were excellent, especially when finished with some craft beer. The fries and onion rings needed a little more seasoning, but were great with the homemade ketchup. Biggest selection of craft gin I've seen in one place, with a great gin cocktail menu to match. Excellent rare craft beer selection in bottles as well. It definitely doesn't disappoint.
