The warm glow of candlelight throughout the space created a cozy, romantic atmosphere that immediately drew us in. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We ordered the scampi wok, potato soup, and pancakes, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're stopping in for a coffee or a full meal, this is a wonderful spot with great food, inviting ambiance, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended!

Full size condiments and caraffes of water with glasses are at the bar for you to take to your table if needed. We sat outside, like everyone else, as it was a beautiful day out. The outdoor seating is covered and has a nice street view. I ordered two vegetarian pancakes which were served with a house salad. The filling in the pancakes were like a really well seasoned mash, made from chickpeas and other veggies. They have alot of healthy options here, including vegetarian and gluten free. Location was perfect as it was still in the city, but a few streets over from the busy port.

We decided to have Thai food and found a restaurant that was supposed to be highly rated. We were…read moreseated right away, which was a great start. Unfortunately, we were given very little time to look over the menu and felt rushed to place our order. Since we were put on the spot, I asked the server for a recommendation and ordered a beef stir-fry. Before ordering, we specifically asked if the beef was breaded, and the server quickly replied that it was not. When my meal arrived, the beef was in fact breaded, which was disappointing. The food itself was very bland and lacked the bold flavors you typically expect from Thai cuisine. While the service was fast, it wasn't attentive. At the table next to us, another guest ordered Pad Thai and asked for soy sauce, but it took the server about 10 minutes to bring it. Overall, this was not a great dining experience. Between the rushed ordering, incorrect information about the dish, bland food, and inattentive service, I would recommend trying a different Thai restaurant if you're visiting the area.

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine in Bergen…read more Enjoy Saigon was our hidden gem in Bergen. Located away from the touristy spots, this cozy restaurant offers an intimate dining experience without the hassle of waiting for a table. What truly makes Enjoy Saigon special is the food. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavors in every bite, with portions that were both satisfying and generous. We enjoyed it so much that we had to return for a second visit. At around 250 kroner per person (20 USD), the meals were not only delicious but also affordable, leaving us satisfied each time. One thing to note is that the service is not the quickest, as everything is made fresh. However, the wait is well worth it for the quality and flavor of the food. All in all, if you're looking for an affordable, delicious meal in Bergen, Enjoy Saigon is an excellent choice. The combination of authentic cuisine, cozy atmosphere, and reasonable prices makes it a standout dining experience. My Criteria: 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 star: This restaurant should be closed.

I imagine this would be a good place for a first date...show her you care, but don't lose too much $$$$$ in case the date goes bad. (Who doesn't like dogs? Dump her!) Staff was polite, but seemed exhausted from a working a busy day during Constitution Day(their 4th of July). I think it was two 6 ounce fillets. 210kr/$28 Salmon plate...hard to tell in my photo, but salmon portion is about 2 times what you would get in America. Delicious! 159kr/$21.20 seafood salad...see photo. Norwegians have a different interpretation of "Seafood Salad" than in America...just look at the vast amount of seafood on that "salad". The ratio is awesome! America can learn a lot from Norway! Prices might seem high by American standards, but in Norway tax and tip are already included in restaurant prices, so its really the same as America. But drink prices were quite high, so we just drank water. I've read that Norwegian restaurants are used to this..I think... (Note: At time of this review, the US dollar was up 50% against the Norway kroner...$1 = 7.5kr vs $1 = 5kr just a couple years ago)

Zupperia is a plain ordinary run-of-the-mill European cafe…read more Which means it's wonderful. * * * A word here on European cafes. Knock the stereotype out of your mind that a European cafe is an exotic cosmopolitan place. Cafes do not look like the ancien Europe of the 1890's or 1920's or 1940's with Ernest Hemingway at one table, Jean Paul Sartre at a different table and Toulouse Lautrec painting people's pictures in a corner. People looking for the cliched European cafes of American's postcard imaginations are sitting ducks for the tourist trap operators. The swindlers buy some downtown real estate, decorate it in centuries old style, and charge you triple the going rate for mediocre food so you can have "the authentic European experience." A European cafe is simply a plain old everyday restaurant with a full bar. Take out the liquor and it is another version of a diner on New Jersey's Route 17 or a coffee shop on the Upper East Side. Jersey diners and Manhattan coffee shops are great places. Whether we are talking diner or coffee shop or Euro cafe, The best places have a substantial menu. There is some local food with regional dishes. There is a lot of globalized international food. It is all everyday stuff. The kitchen is good. What you are going to get is going to be comforting and tasty. It doesn't matter if the decor is 1920's or mid-century functional or 2010's normal. What matters is you are going to get a decently priced plate of normal food that will taste good and keep body and soul together for the next couple of hours. * * * Zupperia does just fine as a Euro cafe. They have fish soup or reindeer or raspeballer if you want to go Nordic. They have tortilla wraps or Thai curry if you want to go exotic. You want burgers or lasagna? They got that too. The wife and I went with tofu and vegetables in teriyaki sauce. There was a lot of it. The teriyaki sauce was homemade and seductive. The vegetables were first rate. (They had a lot of fine sweet red pepper from Holland. Dutch red peppers make everything good.) After all the crazy eat-everything-Nordic-you-can-get-your-hands-on That we had engaged in in the previous days, Having some basic tofu and vegetables restored bodily health and mental sanity. And that is exactly what is supposed to happen at a Euro cafe - Even if it is a steak frite or a strogonoff sitting on your plate.
