Chocolate person? Yeah, I know. We all are. Fjåk chocolate shop & café can be found just a minutes walk from our hotel and is the perfect place to start the day. On their menu you’ll find not only the best chocolate sweets, but delicious breakfast and brunch dishes. They have plenty of tables where you can sit and enjoy your food while doing plenty of people watching of the people of the city. For the best of both worlds we recommend the hot chocolate paired with one of the sandwiches (The avocado one is really good, but no surprise there).

If you’re looking to make the most of your visit, we recommend adding the brown cheese cake as a desert. It is truly one of a kind!

Restaurant Amateur is the newest and hottest spot in Bergen right now, and it’s already become one of the toughest places to get a table. We recommend booking early if you want to experience it.

The handwritten menus set a relaxed, informal tone, and the food is genuinely impressive. Really some of the best we’ve come across in Bergen in a long time! The small dishes alone are worth the visit, and the generous portions make it easy to share and try a bit of everything.

As for the mains and desserts, we can simply say this: we wholeheartedly recommend going all in. The quality, flavor, and value are remarkable across the board.

All in all, Restaurant Amateur offers a dining experience we’re excited to share with our guests. Just be prepared for generous servings, and consider mixing and sharing the smaller dishes to explore more of the menu.

Bergen Brunch is 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.

In this restaurant it feels like you are stepping into Paris in 1920. The interior and music is done with real finesse, and is really something to see when you are visiting Bergen.

Want a special experience? Not that many minutes walk from the city center, you’ll find Bark. It recently opened in Bergen, and oh is it at the top of our lists. The atmosphere itself is very cozy and we would say the perfect place for a date night. Some might consider this restaurant a bit prizy, but we would say that it is worth the visit. The kitchen uses only the best ingredients and the menu changes by the season. We recommend going for the “full package”, a 5-course dinner that will leave you full of the best Bark has to offer. Pair it with some wine or your alcohol-free beverage of choice and we can (almost) guarantee that you’ll have a wonderful experience. Pssst – some of our employees have also said that Bark has the best chocolate fondant in town so we would try that too if we were you.

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.

Craving some Asian food? Then we suggest you try out Ying Ying. A restaurant where beautiful Asian dishes and an elegant atmosphere meet, you’ll definitely have a fantastic experience. They adapt their menu seasonally, to make sure you always get the best ingredients. We recommend the Szechuan Beef, and maybe some Baozi if you’re feeling extra hungry!

A relatively new and very popular restaurant in Bergen that serves Italian food. From our experience, we haven’t tried anything we didn’t like!

It is located in the cozy “Skostredet” 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.

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’s a bit hard to pinpoint the exact cuisine. It just feels like they make whatever they like – and it works!

If you’re a group, we recommend you ask the waiter to put together a tasting menu. You won’t be disappointed.

Here you can take a culinary journey through China’s Yunnan province and experience its unique food culture.

Colonialen Litteraturhuset is 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.

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

The menu includes the “regulars” 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’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!

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’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.

Bryggen is a must-see once you’re in Bergen, and to be honest, it’s almost impossible not to. Colorful wooden buildings facing the harbor contain a warren of shops and eating and drinking places – 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!

If you’re in Bergen going to Mount Ulriken is an absolute must! You can hike or take the cable car up the mountainside. From the top, you get the most beautiful view of Bergen.

If you like it, we recommend hiking for the full experience. You can take the Ulriken bus from the city center (it costs about 100kr for a round trip). If you choose public transport, you have several alternatives:

• From the city center: Take the Light Rail (line 2) to Haukeland Hospital or bus no. 5 or 6 from Festplassen, 12 from Olav Kyrres gate, or 16E from Xhibition. If you take the bus, get off at Haukelandsbakken.

• From Danmarksplass: Take the Light Rail (line 1) to Kronstad and switch to line 2 to Haukeland sykehus. You can also take the bus, no. 27 from Krohnsminde or no. 12 from Strømmen.

Follow the signs from there, approximately 10 minutes. And ready, set, go!

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.
