Delicious fast casual restaurant with quick service. Fish soup is wonderful, and non-fish eating husband ate every bite of his smoked trout wrap and fish cake. read more

Fantastic lunch options in the area that is reasonably priced comparatively. Best to get one of their tasting sets to try variety of their dishes. For us some where misses (like the soggy salmon wrap), but most were hits that we would happily eat again! You order at the counter and pick up the food when ready. Service was quick and efficient. The ambiance felt like eating in a crowded cafe - line was constantly forming - and everyone seemed to be enjoying their food! I would recommend eating there is you have a chance since there is plenty of seating and turnover is fast. read more

High volume, busy, order from the counter and wait for number to be called. Find table in small space so crowded that even a as skinny person like me could not get past the seats along the aisle. My partner had a fish stew with potatoes. I had one of the traditional dishes with fish cakes and a scoop of boiled cabbage, potatoes and carrots. All flavorless. Generous helpings but neither of us would go back. Some other plates looked tastier. Plan ahead what you want to order because the line moves fast and you feel pressured to get your order in fast. read more

We stopped in for an early dinner and the place was mobbed. It's a small space and you order at the counter and hopefully find a table. We ordered the fish soup, a fish cake and a fish cake sandwich. All were solid but nothing special. read more

Order at the counter and find a seat and wait for a delicious meal! We shared two variety trays for our family of four. Everything was pure deliciousness. We especially loved the tomatoey fish stew. All items were so fresh tasting. We went around 4:00 and they close at 5:00, so it wasn't too crowded. Staff is super friendly. read more

This counter service restaurant serving traditional Norwegian fish dishes was on our list of places to eat in. Came in around 6 pm as it was walking distance from our hotel. 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. read more

You're not paying for a view and white linens. You're paying a reasonable price for good food. The counter service is quick and efficient, and the food is delicious. We were able to try several local dishes in one of the platters. read more

Our hunt for authentic Norwegian food and our resolve to not eat anything else led us to the Hagelin sisters. 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! read more

This was another Bergen restaurant that was recommended for their fish soup and fish cakes. It is a small restaurant. Customers order at the counter. Most all of the products are ready to be served. The staff calls out when customers' orders have been assembled. There are a small number of tables. They have a generous selection of fish cakes made from different fish types. We had fish soup, fish cakes, and mashed potatoes. The soup was creamy and contained pieces of fish. The fishcakes also were good. The mashed potato serving was creamy and contained fish. I be a regular if I lived in the area. read more

Seems like authentic Norwegian food with a great backstory. 2nd time eating here over past two visits to Bergen. One of best parts, most all food gluten-free (except a few sides and brown sauce). The fish was good, the sides were good, and the lingonberry was VERY tasty. Oh, and the service was excellent. The wait person was extremely helpful in helping me select a GF meal. read more

I ordered the Fish cakes with Salad as I wanted to try local food as a first timer in Bergen. It is the perfect place for breakfast and the hostess is so welcoming. She recommended what is popular there and also said she can make a salad for my wife who is vegetarian. I loved the hospitality. The fish was also so fresh and well cooked. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves fish and is visiting Bergen for the first time. read more

We ate here after reading about it on the Bergen for Locals iPhone app. We had the Hagelin Miks, fish cake, and small fish soup (total 90 kr). It was very good and they were helpful in explaining the food to us since we hadn't had Norwegian food before. We stopped here after walking through the Fish Market and wondering if the food was good or if it was a tourist trap. We saw fish cakes at the Fish Market for 20 kroner while the fish cakes here were only 8 kroner per stick. The Fish Burger here is 39 kroner compared to a sandwich at McDonald's which is 89 kroner. Skip the Fish Market and head here for good food at a good value (for Norway). read more

Want to save a zillion kroner and eat like a king in Bergen? Take out some fish cakes or fish soup or fish au gratin from Sostrene Hagelin and eat it in the park, eat in in your Airbnb, or eat in the chairs they have in front of the store. Hey, you could even eat it on top of one of the local mountains if you wanted to. Bergen restaurants are expensive. (Not as expensive as Swiss restaurants by a long shot, but more expensive than American restaurants.) The food is generally good, and you get your kroners' worth for your expense. But Sostrene Hagelin allows you to beat the system. You get superb restaurant-quality fish dishes for cheap, because you are not paying for a fancy room. I expect that part of their tremendous success is access to very very very fresh fish from the Bergen boats. But they are good cooks and use wonderful Norwegian recipes as well. You now know where to go and what to do. Prepare yourself for happiness. read more

Came here after hearing about it from a few locals. Got the fish soup (as Bergen's known for "Bergen fish soup"), a heart fish cake, the original fish cake, and a salmon fish cake. Order first, pay, and receive food to sit down and eat. Fish soup was tasty, came with a bun as well. Not too much fish in it, and the fish in it wasn't pure fish (might've been fish ball? or fish with flour, I'm not sure). The fish cakes were tasty: the salmon one had a lot of flavor and the heart one did too, while the original one was pretty bland. All came out to be about 180 NOK (fish soup was around 100, the heart and original fish cakes were about 13 each, and I didn't see the salmon one on the menu so I guess that was about 54? Not sure whether there was additional cost for eating in. Anyway, people at the counter were friendly and explained all the fish cakes to me. Cheapest place in town to eat, clean and pleasant inside too. read more

The fish soup was great. Enjoyed trying different fish cakes. Easy for takeaway. Can be busy. Prices were reasonable. Some cutting and pushing in line from other tourists. I guess I picked a busy time. read more

I came here after hearing that this place is highly regarded by locals for their traditional fishcakes. If you hate fish, this is not the place for you. Everything has fish in it. Fish soup, fish cakes, fish tacos, fish burgers, fish balls, fish pudding. I feel like Bubba in Forrest Gump right now. We tried the fish cakes and fish soup. Both were surprisingly tasty. The fish soup tasted like your typical fish chowder, and I mean that in the best way. Perfectly seasoned, just enough fish--it's the perfect thing for a cold rainy day in Bergen. The fish cakes taste like a New England fish cake but more processed. If you've had Korean fish cakes, I'd say they taste less fishy and are less bouncy in texture. A fish cake for the fish beginner. The restaurant itself is cute and clean, set up kind of like a fast food restaurant where you order at the front and take your food with you to a table. Prices are very reasonable by Norwegian standards. If I lived in Bergen, I'd stop by once in a while for some fish soup, but I probably wouldn't get the fish cakes again. Perhaps it's more of an acquired taste. If you want to try traditional Norwegian food, this is a good place to do that without making a huge investment. read more

This is the cheapest, tastiest meal I had while in Bergen. There are a variety of different fish cakes and soups, and the staff speaks English and can help guide you towards what you might prefer. It was a filling and warming meal on a colder day! read more

One of the must eat foods in Norway is fish soup and fishcakes. Upon local recommendations, I came to Sostrene Hagelin which is known as the place to eat fish cakes, fish balls and fish pudding - Norwegian style. For lunch I had the fishcakes in brown sauce (79 NOK) as well as the fishsoup (47 NOK for a small). The fish cakes were light and had a bouncy texture. The brown sauce (gravy) was flavorful but not too heavy. It paired well with the tyttebær (lyngon berry preserve) and scallions on the fish cakes. The side of veggies included diced potatoes, carrots & celery-root. They were soft but not mushy and tasted fresh. The fish soup was thick and hearty and in addition to carrots and celery, it even had small pieces of fish cake in it. I think I ate a little too much as I saw many locals just come in and get the large fish soup for lunch. Definitely a filling meal and so incredibly worth the price, especially when travelling on a budget - forget the fish market and come here for a more economical meal. read more

Søstrene Hagelin - Fiskette burger with fish soup - Traditional Norwegian Near Me - Bergen, 12

We got three fish cakes with salad and potatoes which was quite filling and a good value. However, this was among the worst service I have ever received. When asked what the server's favorite dish on the menu/ what he recommended, he replied that he didn't like anything. Probably not the best way to sell your food... I have never met someone so unfriendly. There was a good amount of locals eating here, which was comforting! I was a bit wary as there was a sign stating, "eat like the locals!" Usually if you have to write something like that to bring tourists in, you're not very "local." Stop in to grab a bite if you're in need of a late, quick dinner but don't expect much more. read more

A very cosy place in the heart of Bergen. Make sure you visit here and have the fish soup along with the fiskekake. It is yummy! The place is tiny so it is more of a takeaway place but there are few tables and chairs if you want to it eat there. The place is usually busy so make sure you get seats! Friendly staff and did I mention the fish soup is yummy! read more

Not good at all. Finished the meal and I do feel full but wished Didn't eat that at all. Fish cake soup, fish cake stew, fish cake burgers. The fish cake was bland and the temperature of the food was room temp, I spent the rest of the day filled with regret as the my stomach rejects the food. read more

This is a specialty place. It's a fish food deli, cafe. They serve the most heavenly fish cakes. (Other fish items, as well) This is the place to eat fish cakes, fish balls and fish pudding - Norwegian style. You can order dinner, lunch, snacks to eat there or take home. We tried the fish cakes in brown sauce/gravy for dinner the first night we were in Bergen. So delicious! The fish cakes were light & had a creamy texture. Perfect! Served with tyttebær (lyngon berry preserve) and diced potatoes, carrots & celery-root. Wonderful! Other dinner/lunch options were a verity of sliced fish pudding wraps, Plukkfisk (a fish stew type), bacalao, salmon, fish burgers, fish soup.... the list goes on. This is a Norwegian experience & a Bergen gem! read more

I had their fiskesuppe, perfect on a cold day in Bergen! It's really creamy and the fish cod was tender. The portion is a bit small for what you get but hey it's Norway, what do you expect right? When you order be sure to say you're doing take away, they charge you Atleast 3 extra kroner for sitting in! read more

Great place! Love the fish soup! I got the fish crustini(?), a mixture of fish no pasta topped it's bread crumbs and baked, before being drizzled with fish soup. It's a little dry, but I'm are you've all realized that most Norwegian soups are dry rather than watery. I want to try the fish burger the next time I'm back! They have a deal where you can order a fish burger and a drink for less than 100krona. Have to say, this is much healthier than shake shack! read more
