I was hesitant at first to try a place that has Japanese, Thai, and Burmese cuisine on their menu,…read morebut I was pleasantly surprised. Granted I only had the Mandalay hot pot and chicken samosas, they were both absolutely scrumptious. The samosas had a nice crispy skin and fully stuffed with potatoes, chicken bits, and spices. The fried onion on the white rice went really well with the hot pot. My only complain is that the rice was a little dry, but otherwise it was almost a perfect dinner. I can't comment on the Japanese/Thai dishes as I didn't try them.

This cute little shop is in a super walkable portion of Bergen & service was crazy quick. The…read moresashimi platter was pretty standard, but all of the fish was good quality. The sauce included, however, was great. My friend got the fried noodles, and they were a bit overpowered with oyster sauce and she couldn't finish her meal. I tried them, and there was definitely something that seemed a bit bland with the flavoring. It may be a strange batch as they have previously gotten very high ratings on this entree.

Lovely restaurant located right along the Bergen waterfront!…read more Zupperia offers a wide array of dishes. Everything from seafood, to reindeer soup, to curries. There is something for everyone. I had the teriyaki salmon and it was some of the best salmon I've ever had. The Japanese BBQ sauce paired fantastically with the fish, and the veggies and rice were just as yummy. The fish was cooked perfectly for my taste (a little on the moister side), and the dish was actually fairly large and plenty filling. Service was great. Our waitress was super friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and spoke great English. Prices were very fair by Norwegian & Bergen standards. My meal was just over $20, the total bill for two people was around $60. If I had spent more time in Bergen I definitely would've come back to try another one of their dishes.

After a long day of Norway in a nutshell, we found ourselves in rainy Bergen and hungry. We found…read morethis soup restaurant and decided to try it (it was open.... It seemed warm....). It was a good call! We tried the seafood soup and the Rudolph soup. The seafood soup was really tasty and had a lot of fish in it. The Rudolph soup was....ok.... It was super rich, so hard to eat a lot of it. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend it!

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.

How would Japanese food taste in a small town in Norway? It's actually really good, far exceeding…read moreour expectations! Of course like everything in this country, it's not the best bargain on earth, but we had a great evening there with delicious, fresh food and friendly service. The sashimi including the salmon, tuna and scallops were fresh and delicious. Their salad dressing was creamy and savory. And their fish entree was cooked to perfection with a very refreshing sauce! Overall the food was good and not too far from being authentic. Honestly, without competition in this little town of Voss and yet this restaurant could still deliver decent Japanese food. At least locals and tourists have a spot to go! The service was prompt and the ladies who worked there were very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this restaurant if you want some Japanese food in Voss!

I will admit, I was really skeptical coming to a sushi place in Norway, but they are known for fish and seafood, so we gave it a shot. Eating in Norway can be expensive, so I would have assumed sushi would be an arm and a leg, but it actually was really reasonably priced, and one of our more inexpensive dinners in Norway. This is located on a street off the main boulevard but it is not difficult to find. The ambiance inside is nice, with white linen tablecloths, cloth napkins, and flowers on each of the tables. The service was great, the servers were attentive and kept our water filled, and the place was really quiet since there were not a ton of other people inside. Fine dining experience without a fine dining price tag. Tempura - We got the vegetable tempura because we hadn't eaten a lot of vegetables or fruit while on vacation, and my boyfriend claimed that he wanted vegetables in whatever form, even if they were deep-fried. There was a decent amount of vegetables here - including yam, carrots, green bell peppers. The tempura was freshly deep-fried, it was good, and it was a decent amount (7-8 pieces) Sashimi Plate & Salad - We got 8 pieces of tuna and salmon which were really fresh and delicious. The slices were a little bit on the thin side, but the quality of the fish was excellent and it would just melt in your mouth. I was expecting the salad to be some mixed greens, but they put some cubes of tuna and salmon on top, and drizzled it with some teriyaki and some mayo, and it was really tasty. This also came with a bowl of rice that had a teriyaki sauce drizzled on it. We spent $45 between both of us, which was relatively inexpensive for sushi and inexpensive for a dinner in Norway. If you're in the mood for sushi, this is a good option. I think they do a buffet for lunch, but I did not try this, nor do I care for buffets. Don't let the pictures of buffets, or the fancy linens inside deter you from trying this place out.
