10% discount at Nedre Nygaard

A relatively new and very popular restaurant in Bergen that serves Italian food. From our experience, we haven&#8217;t tried anything we didn&#8217;t like!



It is located in the cozy &#8220;Skostredet&#8221; and has a nice outside terrace in addition to the inside space. This place is golden year-round.



The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is top-notch. We recommend you book well in advance or be prepared to stand in line. They have a few tables for drop-in, but there is usually a queue.

In this image, a wooden table is adorned with an appetizing spread of four plates filled with different dishes. The dishes vary in contents and presentation, providing a culinary feast for the eyes. One plate holds a delectable cake placed on a pristine white plate. Another plate showcases a savory pasta dish, topped with a rich sauce that adds a burst of flavor to the meal. Finally, a plate filled with a diverse assortment of food items sits on the table, showcasing a harmonious blend of flavors and cuisine.

This place might be small, but it is very cosy. Here the tastes and appearance are exactly like in Thailand. Good taste and nice portions, and the Pad Thai with scampi is a must-try. The service is friendly, and the vibe is just right. This place is highly recommended by several of us!



Its located in Nygårdsgaten and is only a short walk from the hotel in the city centre.

The picture shows the inside of the restaurant "Samrabthai Khruawan". On the right side of the photo is the restaurant's counter, with various accessories, glasses and water carafes. On the other side, there is a small bar counter with black chairs where a woman is sitting.

Samrabthai Khruawan

A large, pleasant bar that is relatively new in Bergen. The drinks are not too shabby, and they have a good selection of beer and wine. They serve several types of mini tacos, which are super good. Perfect if you want something small to eat or have some snacks throughout the evening. The best part about the place? It&#8217;s right next to the hotel!

In the photo, there is a long wooden table with three black plates with various dishes. In the picture there are also several glasses, some with water with lime wedges in them, and some with white wine. In the background of the picture there is a rust colored vase with a plant with green leaves.

Nedre Nygaard

Hands down the best sushi in Bergen. Nama is known for its excellent service, the good-looking venue, and the quality of the kitchen. The restaurant combines good ingredients and simple preparation into a completely unique taste experience. 



The food is based on sharing, and they have great drinks. They have Japanese robatayaki cuisine, Izakaya, and a sushi bar. Perfect place to bring your date if you want to impress someone.

The scene is set on a table adorned with an assortment of delectable treats. In the center of the table lies a plate of sushi. The sushi roll is garnished with a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds and topped with decadent caviar. To accompany the delectable sushi, a refreshing drink awaits.

If you&#8217;re in Bergen and the weather is good, going to Mount Ulriken is an absolute must! You can either hike up or take the cable car up the mountainside. From the top, you get the most beautiful view of Bergen, and there is also a restaurant that serves both light snacks and a full sit-down dinner. 



If you like hiking, we recommend hiking up or down to get the full experience. You can take the Ulriken bus (it costs about 100kr for a round trip) or public transport. If you choose public transport, you can take Bybanen line 2 from the center to Haukeland Hospital or bus no. 5 or 6 from Festplassen, 12 from Olav Kyrres gate, or 16E from Xhibition. 



Get off at the Haukeland Hospital stop C and D. Follow the signs from there, approximately 10 minutes. And go!

Mount Ulriken

Fløyen is a must-do while in Bergen. Fløibanen, the funicular, brings you up the hillside, from Bergen city center to the top of the mountain in 6 minutes. At Mount Fløyen, you will find beautiful views of Bergen, the nearby islands, fjords, and the mountains surrounding Bergen. Fløyen is a great destination for hiking, mountain biking, and soft adventures. Fløien Folkerestaurant is open daily from May until September. You can also buy snacks and a beer once you reach the top! 



The directions mark the start of the funicular, but you can also hike to the top.

Hoggorm has the best pizza in town, hands down! Thin crust pizza with unusual and exciting combos of toppings like chicken and cornflakes, side by side with good old favorites like tomato and cheese or pepperoni. 



In addition to pizza, they also serve oysters and a selection of other small dishes to share. They also have a good selection of natural wine. The atmosphere is relaxed, with good music and a cool vibe. A must-try! 



Price level: pizzas are around 200-250 NOK (and absolutely worth it).

Image consists of a closeup of a pizza with cheese, tomato and spinach. Behind the pizza are glasses of red wine, as well as bottles of ketchup and mustard. In the background there is a dark bar and walls with stickers.

Hoggorm Pizza

Here you will find the healthiest and heartiest lunch in town!



They have a selection of excellent soups(meat, vegetarian and vegan), in addition to salads. You can compose the salads yourself, and they make a salad base with fresh spinach, which they mix with a delicious mango dressing.



In addition to delicious soups and salads, they also have coffee, matcha, golden milk, and a selection of raw cakes.

The scene showcases a delectable display of culinary delights, brimming with various vegetables and rice. The focus is on a large bowl overflowing with vibrant vegetables and fluffy grains, serving as the centerpiece of the composition.

Daily Pot

A well-known seafood restaurant located on an island right outside Bergen called Bjorøy. The restaurant serves high-quality seafood from the day&#8217;s catch, and the view from the restaurant tops it off. 



To get there, you can travel by boat if you happen to have one, or get the boat trip from the center of Bergen included when you book. This might sound complicated, but it&#8217;s not &#8211; and the food is worth it! It&#8217;s a 25-minute boat ride from the city center, and you can enjoy a drink to make the time pass.



Cornelius is the place to go to if you want a complete experience. Want to celebrate an anniversary? Cornelius is the place! Want to propose to someone? Cornelius is the place! Just want a delicious meal with a fantastic view? Who would have guessed; Cornelius is also the place!

The image portrays a two story outdoor restaurant, located against a mountain wall. On the other side of the restaurant there is water.

Cornelius Seafood restaurant

One of the coziest places to eat in Bergen, and the food is amazing. They have classic dishes such as mussels, fish, and meat inspired by Nordic and continental traditions. 



Colonialen also has a large and rich wine list put together by knowledgeable sommeliers. They have a great lunch menu with, among other things, mussels, eggs benedict, and beef tartar.

An elegant dining experience unfolds in a rustic setting, portrayed on a canvas with masterful strokes. The scene depicts a group of people gathered around a table, engaged in animated conversation and savoring a sumptuous meal. The atmosphere is convivial and relaxed, with guests dressed in stylish attire. The focal point of the composition is the ornate wooden table, occupying the center of the image. Adorned with a set with an assortment of plates and glasses.

Colonialen Litteraturhuset

Bryggen is a must-see once you&#8217;re in Bergen, and to be honest, it&#8217;s almost impossible not to. Colorful wooden buildings facing the harbor contain a warren of shops and eating and drinking places &#8211; fascinating to walk around; the buildings are under continual maintenance and are clearly moving as they all lean in and propped up on each other.



If you get a chance, book a guided tour of the buildings to learn more about the history!

The image shows as the sun sets over the tranquil harbor. The air is filled with a sense of serenity and bliss. The broad expanse of the harbor is adorned with multiple boats, each with its own unique character and charm. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of the fading sunlight, setting an idyllic backdrop for the collection of vessels.

Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf

A new and trendy eatery that focuses on brunch, and oh boy, the brunch is good!



The menu consists of various set menus inspired by famous cities, e.g., Brooklyn Brunch or Brisbane Brunch. With the set menus, you get several small dishes named and a small dessert. So good! They also have regular sandwiches and other smaller dishes, but we recommend trying the set menus.



Bergen Brunch is the perfect place for brunch and bubbles. A good tip is to order a table before you get there, as they are often fully booked.

A delectable feast awaits on a wooden table, surrounded by plates filled with a variety of food. The spread includes a succulent bowl of shrimp adorned with dill, a plate of vibrant green salad teeming with fresh tomatoes and lettuce, and a collection of mouth-watering dishes. Close by, a glass of water glistens, reflecting the soft ambient light. A slice of freshly baked white bread completes the scene, adding a touch of simplicity and comfort to the enticing display.

Bergen Brunch

At the Bergen Aquarium, you can study a colorful and exciting range of fish, watch the otters and other animals get food, and watch 360-degree films in Domen, Storsalen. 



The nice thing about the Aquarium is that you can be both indoors and outdoors. There is also a large playground on the roof. Children and adults alike at Bergen Aquarium can see, read about, and follow the animals and aquarium keepers at close range. You can watch shows and feedings and see how fish and animals act when in their element.

The image showcases a scene at an aquarium, where a group of people is captivated by the marine life on display. Various individuals gather around a large shark tank, entranced by the magnificent creatures swimming within. With a vibrant blue color dominating the scene, the aquarium creates a serene and ethereal environment. It serves as a window into a captivating underwater world, enchanting visitors and transporting them into the depths of the ocean.

Bergen Aquarium

One of our top-pics in Bergen! At this cozy bistro, they change the menu daily but always have a fish dish, a meat dish and good selection of vegetarian dishes. They also have wonderfully good small dishes such as falafel with hummus, grilled vegetables and tomatoes with feta and hazelnuts. It&#8217;s a bit hard to pinpoint the exact cuisine. It just feels like they make whatever they like &#8211; and it works!



If you&#8217;re a group, we recommend you ask the waiter to put together a tasting menu. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.

One of the best restaurant experiences you can get in Bergen is Restaurant 1877. This is a place for foodies that have an above-average interest in food and wine. The menu focuses on local, seasonal ingredients and is based on Norwegian food culture.



Throughout the visit, you&#8217;ll experience historical-cultural references in the use of food, dishes, cutlery, and decanters.



We recommend a 5-course menu with a wine package for a fantastic experience. A bit pricy, we know, but worth it.

The image portrays a scene in a kitchen with multiple individuals engaged in food preparation. Several men are shown working together to prepare food. They are shown standing close to each other and are engaged in various food preparation activities. The scene suggests a collaborative effort as they work together in the kitchen.

Looking for a kid-friendly activity near the hotel? Then we recommend you check out Bergen Science Center(Vilvite Senteret)! Explore their extensive science exhibition, play with water canons, explore nature cycles, or learn how the body functions. Taking the kiddos to VilVite is a perfect activity for rainy days.



A bit pricy, but still worth it.

The image features a lively scene where a woman and two children happily splash around with water in a tank. The woman stands in front of a lagre glass container of water, while the children play with a tennisball in the water.

Bergen Science Center – VilVite

Best lunch in town, hands down.. Located in Bergen Kunsthall, Landmark offers lunch and early dinner, and is a definite must-try while you&#8217;re in town! 



The menu changes daily, so you can visit several times during your stay and still be amazed. The menu includes the &#8220;regulars&#8221; like avocado toast, fish soup, falafel, cheesy fries, as well as the daily special(s). In addition, they have a great selection of natural wines, craft beers, and cocktails. 



Are you visiting for the first time? Everything on the menu is a safe bet, so you can&#8217;t go wrong. They usually close at 17.00, so be sure to be there in good time. The vibe is relaxed and cool, and what we love about this place is that you can find people from all over, from musicians in their 20s to ladies 70+ meeting up for tea.



And oh, this place often changes into a club venue on the weekend. Check out their social media for more info!

This may seem like an odd recommendation, but if you want to try something different, you need to test the PBJ at Smakverket. Why go for a simple PBJ, you might ask? Because there is nothing simple about it. 



They make the sandwich with peanut butter, apricot jelly (all normal so far), fried egg, bacon, and topped with hot sauce and coriander!! It&#8217;s simply the perfect sandwich for a hangover. There are rumors that they tried to take it off the menu some time back, but after many complaints, they had to put it back on.



Their Eggs Benedict are also quite good, but trust us &#8211; the PBJ won&#8217;t disappoint!

Dinner with a view? Skyskraperen is a restaurant, located on the top of Mount Ulriken in Bergen, is an experience in and of itself. You might guess that the English translation of its name is the Skyscraper, aptly named as you will dine on top of a sea of clouds if the weather is right. 



You can either take a cable car from the mountain&#8217;s base or hike up there if you are feeling sporty. Fine dining at its most spectacular!

Looking for a place to brunch? Then Kaigaten Deli is the perfect alternative for you. 



The deli is a place where local quality food meets the big world. They have their own Sicilian pizza, water-in-your-mouth cheese, ham, wine, beer and cider from Hardanger. We highly recommend the shrimp-sandwich!



If the weather is nice you might even be able to enjoy your meal in the sun, with a view to the beautiful Lille Lungegårdsvannet.
