When in Bergen, you have to visit this little hotdog stand. They have a very wide range of sausages and toppings available but we were only two hours past a full bellied breakfast, so we decided to stick to the basics. We of course had their signature dish: The Reindeer sausage topped with lingonberry sauce, mustard, and crispy onions. The hype around this place is greatly deserved! The food is fresh, warm and delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. Dining Style: It is a walk-up kiosk with no seating, restrooms, or table service. So be prepared to eat in the rainy Norwegian weather or walk back to your hotel or accommodation. If you cannot choose - I'd recommend a the reindeer hot dog with traditional toppings. With crazy working hours from 11am to 3-4 am, you can definitely grab a snack anytime of the day or night. Oh, and the hot dogs cost much more than three kroner like they originally did, back in 1946.
This place seemingly always had a line - which is typically a good sign. Even in the drizzling rain we stood for a short time to grab a quick lunch on the go. While this is a simple meal - a hot dog/sausage - it can really hit the spot. They have some really unique options... our group each sampled a different. The one I tried had a "hot" chili sauce on it. I would DEFINITELY recommend this with the sausage that has cheese. The crispy onions add a wonderful touch to the fun flavors.
Our first time to Norway so I did some research ahead of time. Trekroneren was at the top of my "quick cheap eats" list &, truthfully, I wish we'd gone here on day 1 instead of the funky wharf stands. Naturally, we had the reindeer sausage with lingonberry, mustard and crispy onions. It was possibly the favorite for our group on our Bergen stay. I love that they temp check. We stopped elsewhere and were served cold food- ew. Is it mind-blowingly unique? No, it's essentially sausage dogs but with some out of the norm protein & toppings. The beauty of it is that it's familiar, traditional & something new all at once, at a decent price & it's done RIGHT. The line moves fast, feel free to jump in it!
We always saw a queue whenever we passed the area and this was a recommendation from our guide as well. I got the basic dog with mustard and ketchup and my husband got the reindeer dog which he really enjoyed. The line was worth it - we really enjoyed our dog here. Also this was one of the affordable places we ate at in Bergen.
Stumbled upon Trekroneren as we were wandering around the wharf and can confirm that the rumors are true. Easily the best hot dog in all of Norway. Significantly better than Syverkiosken in Oslo in size, meat options and toppings. We got the lamb sausage but walked away with some regret about not trying the reindeer. The fried onions topping somehow class up the humble hot dog. Recommend!
It's really just a hotdog stand, but a good one at that. You get to try different meat than the mysterious pink sludge they serve in the USA. I asked for a reindeer and to dress it "the way it should be" which was with the lingonberry sauce and mustard. Satisfying and made me want more... but honestly, it's a a just a hotdog stand. If you want a gourmet experience, book a nice restaurant. But for a quick tourist snack, this place is amazing, and the sausages are great quality.
really really good sausages! we got the reindeer sausage. it comes topped with juniper berries and fried onions. delicious! though I think I'd ask for a little less juniper next time. also true the large cheese dog. large is an understatement (see pic) they have a wide array of options and I could have honestly tried them all if time allowed for it. it's pricey, but what isn't in Norway?
As one of the most recommended food spots in Bergen, I have to say that it does live up to the hype! It's a small hotdog stand near the city center of Bergen, and when I went the line wasn't too long. They have a pretty extensive menu of hotdog meats to choose from ranging from Reindeer to Lamb so you can decide how adventurous you want to be. They also have a good variety of toppings that you can add to your hotdog as well. I decided to get the Kabanossi hotdog with some hot sauce on it as that was what the lady working there recommended. The size of the hotdog is great, as it's definitely filling and they don't skimp out on it. I also really enjoyed the quality of the sausage, and it is definitely up there in terms of hotdogs that I have ever tried. With the hot sauce and crispy onions added onto it, it's a burst of flavor in your mouth. This is definitely a must-eat place if you ever visit Bergen!
We passed by this spot on the way to a couple of excursion meeting points. Seemed to get busier as the day progressed and we did see some long lines. We ended up visiting later around 9:30 on a Sunday evening-luckily no queue. A stand with an abundant amount of Hot Dog/Sausage choices. Quality Sausages are made especially for this spot by a local Butcher. I wasn't sure which one to get (about 15 varieties) so the kind Gentleman steered me to the Wild Game sausage. He suggested the toppings-Chili sauce, mustard and crispy onions. Delicious! Not an inexpensive Hot Dog at about $10 USD but well worth it. Helpful and friendly people behind the counter. They've been around for 75 years and were recommended as the only Hot Dog stand you should visit in Bergen. We agree!
Great service and fast if the line is long, WAIT. We were here on Norway's Constitution day. The line was very long. We asked a couple who were just finishing up their hot dogs if the line was worth the hype and their reply was YES, they are the best! We were not disappointed. We had the reindeer hotdog and the cheese hotdog; both are excellent.
Family greatly enjoyed the famous Reindeer sausage hot dog. Fast service. No seating / like a food stand not a sit down restaurant.
I was walking around with my parents after eating a bit at the fish market. We saw a bunch of people walking by with hot dogs and I started to follow where they came from. I hadn't heard of this place but after seeing that they offered reindeer sausage and how many people were buying it I had to try it. I was lucky that there wasn't a wait when I got there. The reindeer sausage is great! I think the lingonberry pairs really well with it. I wasn't sure what I was expecting since I hadn't had reindeer before but I'm glad I saw crowds of people with it.

Who would've known that Norway, along with other Scandinavian countries, is known for its hot dogs. At this particular establishment, a reindeer hotdog, or more aptly noted, reindeer sausage. Reindeer in these countries are very prevalent which makes their meat a source of food. So I like trying the local food in places that I travel, Norway is no exception. There is literally no service other than order your food, pay for your food, they hand you the food. What is likely to be seen are really long lines during a typical lunch and dinner time. If in Norway, don't be grossed out, try it. It really tastes like a bratwurst and it is venison after all. Many of us eat venison. read more

Not overrated. Of course I had to have the famous reindeer hot dog with crispy onions, mustard and lingonberry sauce. Could not tell it was reindeer. The casing was super snappy - a joy to bite into. Flavours were on point - the toppings went well with this hot dog. The weakest part of the hot dog was the bun - felt it fell apart too easily when eating. Take out and stand to eat! Definitely a must eat when in Bergen!! read more

When in Bergen, one must try some local food so naturally, Reindeer sausage at this famous hot dog stand is a must. It does feel like other sausages - couldn't taste the Reindeer bit. read more

My friend brought me to share reindeer hotdogs- it was so good, especially with the berries and fried onions! It's a little big so FYI! Service - everyone is so friendly, even in English. Such a great spot to stop by for a quick bite! It's very cute and close by the water. read more

Hands down the best hot dog I've ever had. Packed with flavor. The juniper berries are a perfect addition and complement the fried onions nicely. read more
Busy hot dog stand, which seems to be quite popular with the tourists. I had watched a bunch of videos about hotdogs being popular before coming to Norway, but actually didn't see many around. So was glad to be able to try this. Reasonable price for the size. A dog should be sufficient for lunch for most people. Tried the following: -Reindeer, this was fine, but honestly just tasted like a regular pork dog to me. I feel that the reindeer aspect was a little gimmicky -"Wild game" is actually just pork and beef. I really enjoyed this one, as it had a stronger meaty taste FYI "Norwegian style" is fried onions and some berry, which goes well with the reindeer dog read more

My wife, daughter and I came upon the hot dog stand somewhat by accident on our way to the Christmas Market. They have all the different hot dogs in trays up front by the window. They all looked delicious. There was an overhead convenient English translation of the ten varieties of dogs they offer. My wife got the San Francisco dog which has garlic and chili added. Her dog wasn't as hot as she would have liked it. My daughter's cheese dog was piping hot as was my frankfurter with onions and allspice. They offer a variety of toppings but we kept it basic with ketchup and mustard. read more
Wow, I had been looking forward to this for several months. One of the first things I found when looking into coming to Bergen, Norway was to come to 3 Kroneren for the raindeer sausage. I ordered it the way they typically sell it, which had the sweet berry sauce and the crispy onions on top. An experience not a meal. So worth the wait. Meeting and getting to talk to other people in line, typically foreigners, was part of the experience . This is a must come to if you're in the area. read more

After reading several travel blogs saying we had to try the reindeer hot dog here, this is the first food stop we made in Bergen and boy! The hotdog was delicious and huge so we split one - the lingonberry sauce, mustard and crispy onions spoke in perfect harmony. 10/10 start on our culinary experience in Norway! The line went fairly quick and was right near the harbor in central Bergen. I appreciated they had an English section of their menu - a lot of the other hot dogs looked tasty too. read more

I came for the classic reindeer hot dog in Bergen experience and was not disappointed! It was so delicious. The lingonberry sauce with mustard and crispy onions was the perfect topping. The reindeer meat was tender and seasoned, with a perfect snap when you bit into it. My mother got the bratwurst with garlic herb dressing which was delicious as well. We came back twice while we were in Bergen! read more
After hearing rave reviews of their reindeer hot dogs, we had to give it try. The restaurant is less than a block from the harbor fish market area. The restaurant is stictly take out. Customers walk up to the window to order. The hot dogs are long, probably close to a foot. We had the recommended toppings: mustard, lingonberry sauce, and crispy onions. It was very good. If customers request, they can receive a small glass of squash. It was raspberry flavored. The only disadvantage is that there's no place to sit down right close. It rains most days in Bergen, but we managed to arrive during a break in the rain. I would frequent this location if I lived in the area. read more
7/5/24, ate here every day to grab a bite. Reindeer this time with mustard and onion. They will suggest what to add to it and I added what I wanted. Yum. 85 NKO or about $8.50 US dollars. No line tonight at 6:30pm. read more

Best sausage in Bergen and a "must visit attraction". Trekroneren have been open for more than 75 years and have a great selection of hot dogs. These are of course not your average "7eleven" hot dog. These are specialty hot dogs. I always bring visiting friends here to try the reindeer hotdog (although I always order the cheese hotdog myself). Don't be scared of by the queue. It movies quickly. Please note that there is no seating available so be prepared to take your hotdog to go. I recommend walking a bit down the street to get away from the seagulls. read more
I'm not sure what Viking-derived DNA connects Scandinavians with hot dogs, but it's clearly there. When I was in Reykjavik, Iceland, a few years back, the place to go was a hot dog kiosk called Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur, where I found their wieners rather middling. This time, Jamie W. and I were in the heart of Bergen where several YouTube travel videos pointed to this prominent kiosk on cobblestoned Kong Oscars Gate very close to the most popular tourist attractions like Bryggen and Fløibanen. In four languages, their menu lists a dozen different sausages, each priced at 75 NOK or about $7.65 in US dollars. The true 'get' is the Reindeer Sausage grilled in a natural casing and placed in a soft hot dog bun. The right toppings are critical, and I knew to ask for the lingonberry sauce, mustard, and extra crispy onions (photo: https://bit.ly/3zhx39E). Finding a place to devour our orders proved challenging as they don't offer any seating. We found an open bench closer to the funicular. The combination of the savory game meat and the sweet lingonberries really did the trick for us with the onions providing a welcome crunch. What a delicious guilty pleasure in Norway's most picturesque city. FOOD - 5 stars...a Scandinavian hot dog to love AMBIANCE - 4 stars...a simple stand that keeps pretty busy SERVICE - 4.5 stars...done with speed and grace TOTAL - 5 stars... try not to think of Rudolph RELATED - Exploring Norway?

Best "hotdog" we've had since in Norway. We, of course opted for the reindeer hotdog and it was delish. The service was fast and friendly and the ambiance is exactly what you would expect fast, fun, and...personal... so good read more

Would I usually rave about a hot dog? Likely not. But this hot dog was one of the best things I've ever eaten and for only $8. There are tons of different sausages to choose from and a plethora of toppings. You can even get a reindeer sausage. I got a cheese hot dog topped with ketchup and mustard with crispy onions. It had such a nice snap to it. I hiiiiighly recommend. read more
We were on a walking tour of Bergen, and our tour guide pointed this place out. We couldn't stop while on the tour, but it was our first stop afterwards! Sooooo delicious! We had the reindeer sausage hot dog, which I think is their most common/asked for, and it did not disappoint! The berries/sauce on it was such a great touch, and the meat itself was delicious. And the price was great, especially given the super high price of most food in Norway! My only disappointment is that we weren't there longer to try more! read more
