However, the restaurant lived up to its hype. The restaurant is romantic and loaded with European ambiance. This is the kind of place where you know you aren't in Kansas anymore. Lamb is something that I love, so I was happy to see it on the menu. It was incredibly good. Not gamy at all, wonderful cooked, flavorful, and tender. It was fantastic. My wife and I split the huge portion of excellent potatoes au gratin that came with my lamb. It was creamy and tasty. Norwegians LOVE potatoes, so some sort of potato dish is a requirement, I think. My wife had a vegetarian hamburger that came with fries and veggies. She said that it lacked flavor, but it looked good. The fries were excellent.

If you're visiting Bergen, you'll likely hear about Bryggeloftet & Stuene as the must-eat…read morerestaurant in town. 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.

Great restaurant right in the fish market on the waterfront with seating on the patio overlooking…read morethe water and the hills. Beautiful scenics and cozy outdoor to dine. You can pick the available seafoods and they will cook it or the menu. The foods here are wonderful and fresh. If you're into seasoning and spices then you need to be out of the box since Nordic foods are about natural as is and less seasoning so keep that in mind. Love the oysters and the salmon, chowder is nice and mild but rich. Wonderful services and can't say much with delish foods, beautiful view, chill vibe and great service.

Very unique experience if you allow. Reservations highly recommended. The views were incredible and…read moreyou do pay for it. Menu prices are astronomical and Michelin level. Service is friendly. Loud ambiance and casual neat. 1. Fries - Good and mostly crispy with aoili. 2. Live King Crab from the Aquarium - Premium over the frozen king crab but needed to try to see. It was juicy and very unique. Never had it this juicy and sweet before. Large portion cost $240 USD which is about 0.9 lbs or 400g. 3. Mussels - Garlicky broth. Very good and small to medium sized meat. Overall average to USA. 4. Fish soup - Tiny bit salty but overall good amount of fish included. 5. Salmon (Aurora) sashimi - Buttery, smooth and very good. Source for Japan's premium sushi. Overall, gave it 5 stars despite the high price tag for its uniqueness in live King Crab, amazing views and the tourist premium.

We settled in a shared table in this intimate eatery. Our order (shared) was the Best of Hagelin! (329 NOK) and the Blackberry Cordial (35 NOK). This hot dish combo came with small dishes of fishcakes, fish soup, mashed potatoes with fish & bacon, bacalao (codfish), smoked salmon, mustard sauce and a bread roll. Food was good, ambiance was fast-food vibes, service was fast. PS. Our jackets smelled of food when we got out of the restaurant.

Everything about it was just right - the space, the menu, the service and finally the food itself. You place the order and the counter, you pay for it, get a number, and when your number is called, you go get your food. The menu is very authenticity Bergen - the fish soup is the star in my opinion. The fish balls are great as a simple, convenient, no fuss option for the fussy eater. The fish burger is a delicious amalgamation of the fish balls, a sweet aioli and veggies. Overall we walked away feeling very satiated. Highly recommend!

After a long day of traveling by train, ferry and bus, I was exhausted by the time I got into…read moreBergen. And hungry. As soon as I checked into my hotel, I asked the concierge for recommendations of where to eat and they said that Enhjorningen was their favorite restaurant for seafood. Sold. I was told to find the building with a unicorn outside of it, which was actually a good tip of how to find this restaurant. But you must walk up the stairs for the entrance as the downstairs/retail level of this building is actually a bar. And when I walked in the restaurant, I found a charming spot with many old framed paintings and ornate decorations. So it was a little stuffy and the staff was not the friendliest, but you know what? This place isn't touristy unlike many of the other Bergen restaurants, so that's a win. The menu was straightforward with many different seafood entrees, a full wine list and some small bites, desserts and cocktails. I started with the salmon carpaccio and had the halibut for my main dish. And let me tell you, the food was amazing. The seafood was incredibly fresh and tasty. The salmon carpaccio had some pickled veggies with for some crunch and was light. And the halibut dish was one of the best halibut dishes I've ever had! It was so flaky with a lemon, dill sauce, dauphinoise potatoes and beans. I could've licked the plate, but this place was way too fancy for that sort of thing. But eat here and you'll completely understand. For delicious, elevated seafood, visit Enhjorningen.

Tasty seafood! We visited Enhjorningen early on a Wednesday evening, and it was nearly empty when…read morewe arrived but almost full by the time we left at 6. The decor is fun with paintings of landscapes hanging on vibrant colored walls, velvet chairs, and a creaky wood floor. We split the scallops and the bread, and I ordered the hake with paprika sauce for myself. The bread was surprisingly light with a nice flavor. The scallops were swimming in a decadent sauce. The hake was perfectly cooked and paired with piping hot potatoes, a sumptuous sauce, and an assortment of vegetables. Overall, I had a lovely experience at Enhjorningen and would highly recommend for seafood in Bergen.

The two servers waiting for the diners inside the vinyl-covered sunroom of Fish Me were on top of their game. Obliging our requests for photos and even allowing us to move tables, when we saw the harbour view seats were available. Smiles and yeses, came out of their mouths, which was surprisingly uncommon in Europe. For the food, though this was inside was a fish market and them aptly named Fish Me, we didn't order fish. We opted for the only two items in the "Meat Dishes" section of the menu. I had the Whale Steak (minke) which is technically a mammal, while my wife got Reindeer Entrecôte. We paired this with a Pinot Noir and Spicy Hot Chocolate. Both tasted like beef with the gamey flavor offsetted by the red wine sauce and the caramelized green beans. My presumption proven wrong, we left satiated and considered this a winning choice.
