Envie de hamburgers? Nous tenons à dire que Bien Snackbar sert probablement les meilleurs hamburgers du Danmarksplass! En plus des burgers traditionnels comme les cheeseburgers et les hamburgers, ils ont expérimenté des saveurs plus originales comme les burgers bbq, les burgers au chili et (notre préféré) les cheeseburgers au fromage de chèvre. Avec une grande sélection de bières à la pression et une atmosphère chaleureuse, Bien Snackbar est un must absolu. Nous vous recommandons les frites au parmesan et, si vous avez la dent sucrée, l&#8217;un des milkshakes pour adultes en guise de dessert.

Bien Snackbar

The menu for Colonialen Kranen is created using local seasonal ingredients and will give you a result of high-quality dining. The kitchen loves to surprise you with tasty, playful dishes and unexpected flavor combinations. 



The restaurant is centrally located in Solheimsviken and is the coziest spot when the rain is pouring outside and gives Copenhagen-vibes on sunny days.

Colonialen Kranen

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.

Just a litte light rail ride away (get off at Wergeland) you will find Nawabs, a cozy little Pakistani restaurant with delicious food! They have a wide variety of dishes and you can easily adjust the level of spiciness on your food to your liking. Our favorite is the butter chicken, and of course their homemade Naan bread. But you can&#8217;t go wrong, it&#8217;s all delicious! You can also order take-away if you&#8217;d rather enjoy the food in your hotel room. 



PS: Nawabs is halal, and don&#8217;t serve alcohol. We recommend you try the Mango Lassi instead!

Get ready to taste the sea! Restaurant Aster, a seafood haven located by the charming &#8220;Damsgårdstunet&#8221; in Bergen, serves various Nordic fish. The kitchen blends old traditions with modern methods, creating rich-tasting flavors. The name &#8220;Aster&#8221; draws inspiration from the enchanting &#8220;Sea Aster&#8221; – a lovely purple flower that thrives in salty soil and, therefore, is to be found by the coast.

Restaurant Aster

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.

Allmuen

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.

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.

1877

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

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.

Villani

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

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!

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.

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.

They are amazing, right? We get our beds from <a href="http://www.hildinganders.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.hildinganders.com</a> which usually only delivers to hotels. However, they carry different brands, and the Jensen bed would be equivalent to the beds we have at the hotel.

Where are the beds from?

Light Rail: There&#8217;s an excellent light rail system called &#8220;Bybanen.&#8221; It&#8217;s a train that goes right into the city center. You can find the station inside the airport terminal; follow the well-marked signs.



Get off at “Danmarksplass,” and the hotel is a 5-minute walk away.



You can also travel by taxi, but we recommend the light rail as it is more sustainable and nicer to your wallet!

How do I get to the hotel?

We have free Wi-Fi for all our guests; no secret codes or passwords are required! Just connect and surf away.

Does your hotel have Wi-Fi?

We don&#8217;t clean your room every day. During longer stays, the rooms will be cleaned once a week. During short stays, cleaning will be done on the guest&#8217;s departure. This helps us keep our prices low, and it&#8217;s also a big plus for the environment! You can, however, book extra cleaning for your room for an additional fee.

Does my room get cleaned every day?

We gladly accept Visa and Mastercard as payment options both on our website and in the hotels. For prepaid bookings, we also offer Apple Pay.

7(!) mountains surround Bergen. So, there are plenty of hiking opportunities. The most popular mountain is Mount Fløyen, where you can take the Funicular or hike to the top. You can hike straight to Ulriken, Rundemanen, and Sandviksfjellet from the top of Fløyen. Both the Funicular station and the starting point of the hike are in the city center.

How do I get to the railway station?

The best alternative is to use the Bergen Light rail. Only a 5-minute walk from the hotel you will find the stop &#8220;Danmarksplass&#8221;. Take the one heading towards the city center and get off at &#8220;Bergen Busstasjon&#8221;.
