Rachel DwiayutiaJuly 26, 2015Norwegians have their own meatballs and here they made it so good! Served with mushy peas and lingonberries, exquisite! The fish macaroni pie is also recommended. Place gets packed in the evening.
Pedro PimentaJune 14, 2015It was the first time that I ate reindeer neck, It was very good. The staff was nice. They have power supplies and free Wi-Fi. The prices are acceptable since you are in Norway.
Vera RochaAugust 22, 2019Me and my daughter had a fish pie and a Plukkfisk we highly recommend the Plukkfisk as it was amazing. The service was amazing, the girl in red shirt was very friendly and our experience was great.
Chuck OlsenAugust 4, 2013Super cosy, down-home delicious Norwegian cooking, lovely service + good Norge beer taps. Also a penguin logo, so basically this place rules. Find your own seat, order at the bar; English menu avail.
Chiara BergadanoAugust 15, 2014Typical Norwegian style restaurant, easy and young. Good dishes with fish and meat. Ideal for dinner or for a beer after dinner. Good selection of beers. The staff is very friendly!
Петр ПоповSeptember 24, 2017very tasty 'home kitchen' - Norway's cuisine, I eat a lot but one meal was enough for me and my wife, we've tried the soup, lapskaus and two main courses for NOK 169-179, been there 5 times in 6 days
Emma Louise AntoniussenJanuary 9, 2019I tried «Tørrfisk baller». A little bit wary to the name, but it was delicious!! Also, they have the best choice of beer I’ve ever seen and really good cider! Perfect for local food with a friend!
Bogdana BAugust 15, 2016Super tasty traditional fish pie and very good draft beer (the selection IPA for ex). Arm yourselves with patience though, cause after 7.30 you wait to be seated and then some to get your food!
Emmanuel JeffersonJuly 25, 2015Delicious Norwegian Meatballs and Traditional Fish and Macaroni Pie. Many selection of local beers. Very crowded so might be a bit difficult to find a table, but service is wonderful. Very cozy!
Jennie JuliusApril 19, 2016Best food in Norway!! I got the fish macaroni pie and it was one of the best meals ever. Reasonably priced and very very cosy! They have an English menu and wifi and speak English too!
Coen MeerbeekJanuary 8, 2016Without the doubt the best restaurant in town. As good as other reviews say it is. The reindeerneck is awesome. An authentic Norwegian place. Please go visit when you are in Bergen!
Loup D.March 29, 2014Probably one of the best restaurant in Town ! Ask for the english menu to the bar. We've try the beef meatballs and the filet of muton. AWSOME ! Drink one of the great norvégien beers ! Enjoy
KaitlinSeptember 19, 2016The best meal we had in Norway! The minke whale sandwich was delicious, if exotic, and I especially loved the cabbage-raspberry salad that accompanied it. Great beer, too!
JoannaApril 1, 2015Hearty food, friendly service. Note that the fish stew isn't soup - it's boiled cod, shredded and mixed with mashed potatoes! Delicious nonetheless though
Simon WebbonMay 30, 2016Awesome selection of local beers and delicious home made hearty food. Try the double IPA and the sausages! A great antidote to the touristy hell hole down by the harbour.
Brandon M.May 31, 2017highly recommend the traditional fish pie + one of the ipas on tap. super friendly staff - a terrific dinner + drinks option!
- Damon SununtnasukJuly 29, 2017An ode to grandma's cooking. Maybe the most affordable and authentic meal in Bergen. Meat balls and Fiah Pie were ample and good quality
Sherielyn GardnerSeptember 14, 2014The fish stew was unexpected but delicious! Served with a toast made of thin crisps --it hit the spot after a long day of traveling from Oslo. Drink with a side of weiss bier.
Sweetlana TutanovaAugust 31, 2012Cusine was delightfully delicious!! Soup about 80NOK, sandwich with arctic shrimp(in fact not a sandwich, but a normal meal)about 100NOK. Further - more expensive but definitely worth it! Have a look!
Helen ZhangAugust 8, 2016American thought: meatballs with lingonberries and pea "stuffing" is like a Norwegian version of Thanksgiving dinner! Delicious
- Maria KOctober 20, 2016Try the fish soup, and definitely go for the Common Liss or the Meatballs! Both delicious, healthy and filling!
- Alina VogelAugust 28, 2021It was so delicious. Try the Plukkfisk and the meatballs they are amazing ! They also serve a huge portion. ☺️
Ge StrahmDecember 7, 2014Very crowded but worth the wait. Best pub food in town, friendly crew, good music and beers. Try their cod fish pie. Best to make a reservation.
Andris EniņšMay 19, 2019Reindeer sausages were awesome, Fish of the day was great! Also nice choice of beers on tap and can/bottle. Absolutely recommend to try out!
FilipMay 6, 2016We had traditional fish (picture) and reindeer. I didn't like the fish that much, but if you want to try out local food, I can only recommend it...
Kartik SApril 24, 2014Very very good food. I went here based on numerous recommendations and wasn't disappointed. They have a good beer list, and the food menu changes everyday.- Jenna Rose RobbinsApril 28, 2018Great beer selection, but the claim that their popcorn is the world's best falls far from the mark. It's good, but not THAT good. Not many veg options, so popcorn became dinner.
- Muffin ManFebruary 3, 2019WHY THERE: Norwegian cuisine, craft beer, interior. PRODUCTS: amazing. STAFF: smooth. LOCATION: close to mainstream (convenient). PRICES: higher average (reasonable)
- Jenna Rose RobbinsAugust 28, 2017Great beer selection, but the claim that their popcorn is the world's best falls far from the mark. It's good, but not THAT good. Not many veg options, so popcorn became dinner.
Quin MarshallMarch 16, 2018Plukkfisk—tasty comfort food of mashed potatoes, bacon and salt cod, with flatbrød & buttah
Alex StillSeptember 13, 2017Probably the #2 beer spot after Henrik. Supposedly the food is great. Fun place to hang at the bar with the locals.
Ricky SherrillJune 20, 2016I enjoyed my time here. Plenty of comfort food dishes & local beers to pick from. Walked away feeling like a local.
Maritina LaskaridouMay 2, 2015Fantastic food! Very big portions! Cosy place. Try the carrot soup and the meatballs.
Pavel GrechishkinJuly 3, 2022Conservative prices for decent food. Meatballs with mashed peas is quite good. Fishpie is a little fatty. A wide range of beers
Vivian WangOctober 26, 2015Loved the meatballs. Friendly staff and don't forget 10% off with your Bergen card!
Adam NowekMarch 24, 2015Cozy atmosphere and great Norwegian food with a menu that changes daily. Great selection of Norwegian beer- Athina LovelandJune 15, 2013Everything was delicious. Excellent beer selection: IPAs & other delicious ales. Decent prices. Try the pudding and the pork stew!
Helga K.May 20, 2018Went here after reading 4sq tips. Food wasn’t that great, it was kind of plain and bland, but the place looked comfy and nice.
Sharon MartinAugust 16, 2012Devoted to small-town Norwegian cooking and informal ambience, good prices. Also try Enhjørningen, locals love it -quality food and old-style elegance.
