    Fish soup
    Carolyn J.

    This place was recommended to us by a local. We tried the Hagelin's best and the fish soup. Both were delicious!

    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.

    Hagelin miks
    Dia D.

    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).

    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!

    Fish soup

    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.

    Fish burger with mustard is the best way to go. Have with a cup of fish soup to make a perfect lunchtime break in Bergen.

    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.

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.

There is something for everyone. I had the teriyaki salmon and it was some of the best salmon I've ever had.

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.

Highly recommend for the area and loved the extra touches at the table like votive candles, fur stoles and stone napkin holders - very Nordic chic.

They have a pitcher of water at the end of the bar with glasses so no need to add an extra expense for bottled water. 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 got the herring with lingonberries which sounded weird to me but after the first bite I was sold!! I cleaned the whole plate with ease because it was so good. The prices are affordable compared to other spots in Norway so assure you go downstairs because the menu and prices are different.

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.
