The restaurant is styled like an American saloon with cowboy hats and western decor around the dining area and American country music playing in the background. They also have outdoor seating. We tried their tapas plate. I have to admit that my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aioli was quite tasty and sweet and sour and ranch sauces were fine. The onion rings, chicken wings, and fried shrimp were on par with the best I have had, and the other fried foods were decent as well. The grapes were particularly good, and the red ones had a flavor that I had never encountered before. Overall, I had a great experience at Vossevangen Grill & Steakhouse and would recommend their tapas plate.

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.

The food is absolutely delicious. We got the Ran, which is a fish soup dish. The soup itself tasted very much like a creamy Tom Yum soup, and the seasonal fish and mussels very fresh. The fish was a little on the dry side, but the foccacia paired extremely well with the soup. We also got the havamal, and the beef patty was very juicy and flavourful. The Viking plank seems to be a very popular dish, as it is a 5 course tasting menu paired with 5 different beers. Unfortunately we didn't get to try this one when we visited, but it looked great! The service is excellent. The waiter was very attentive, and took the time to split the soup to two bowls as he asked and we indicated that we would like to share it between the two of us. There isn't too much seating, so I can see that it could be crowded or difficult to find seats during peak season, so keep that in mind!

And for this reason, we ended up at the lovely Baroniet Rosendal Cafe on a recent weekend trip. On the lush grounds of Baroniet Rosendal, a historic estate and manor situated in Kvinnherad in Hordaland county, Norway dating back to the 1660's. There is a small entrance fee to the grounds and gardens that will allow you access to the cafe, it is worth it. We did not opt to tour the estate, but it is a very nice site from the outside, regardless. We found ourselves enjoying gorgeous plates of salmon, sausage, salads and a bottle of rosé along with many other revelers. There is a converted greenhouse with dining tables as well as indoor at the cafe and a covered middle. The cover comes in handy as Norway is known for its vast amount of rain showers, and even though it was raining during our lunch it was wonderful none the less. The service was friendly and efficient. You order and pay at the counter and then your hot meals are brought to your table. The menu is short, but robust and very high quality. My salmon plate was delicious and filling. The crowd is mainly tourists in hiking/touring gear, so the setting is very casual. However, you can dine in style with white tablecloths and proper stemware and plateware from which to enjoy your meal. Truly beautiful and remote setting. If you are in the area, it's a must.

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.

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 mean, I did, which is why after a day of traveling to Bergen from Oslo, I desperately needed sustenance and Bryggeloftet & Stuene was on my list and near my hotel. I walked in on a Tuesday night and no, I was denied. The place was packed, but the friendly hostess took my name down for a reservation for the following day. So that's what to do here. Make a reservation if you can't get in because everyone wants to eat here. The following day during my reserved time, it was a much more satisfying experience since I ate here! The restaurant is located just across the pier and along Bryggen, and inside, it's decorated with old paintings and photos of Bergen and Norway with classic, wood furnishings all around. It takes you back to Bergen's former days, which is the charm of this place. Staff could not have been friendlier. Bryggeloftet & Stuene has traditional, Norwegian food. I ordered the wolffish, which was in season, and the fish came with veggies and a side of potatoes to however you want them made. And this is when I learned that the area prepares potatoes dauphinoise, which is like au gratin and was sooo delicious. My dish comprised of fresh wolffish in a lemon, dill sauce, fresh vegetables and of course, with the side of dauphinoise potatoes. But this is the kind of restaurant that no matter what you order, everything will be delicious here. Ya gotta eat at Bryggeloftet & Stuene when in Bergen.
