Work brings me to Bergen from time to time and I've had the good fortune to dine at Colonialen twice. Once with two good friends and another time simply by myself. A restaurant has to be amazing to get me to sit alone for 3.5 hours to go through all the courses. The food here is imaginative and consistent. The wine pairings are spot-on. Listing the 20 or so dishes I've eaten there would take forever, so I'll stick with two or three of the standouts. The first was a group of northern grains served in a mortar with a pestle. You ground up the grains with the pestle and an oxtail consomme was poured over top. This was painfully delicious. It was so good that I shamelessly begged (and received) a second. On my second visit, the staff recognized me and gave me a lot of attention (which was nice since I was alone). I had long conversations with the chef and the sommalier about how they sourced their food and selected their wines. Their wine pairings are eclectic (france, germany, italy, pacific northwest, even a Norwegian selection worked its way in). If you are in Bergen or traveling to Bergen, this needs to be on your list ... perhaps more than anything else in town.

I had a salami and cheese sandwich, and the salami was really tasty and the cheese was really tasty. Coming from the US it was surprising to me that this order began with the woman behind the counter announcing that she'd help me just as soon as she'd washed her hands. She did so, and then prepared my sandwich with her freshly-washed bare hands. Just sayin'. Although I'd prefer to think I'd stumbled upon a small, locally owned and operated little bakery place, I later learned this is a chain with sixteen locations in four cities in Norway. Again, just sayin'.

Bergen Storsenter is a good shopping center in Bergen, Norway. Not a large mega mall, but it is…read morenot tiny either. Fine mix of retail shops ranging from grocery stores to snack kiosks to clothing shops to pharmacies, and everything in between. Get ready to pay more than in the United States. Norway is an expensive country to live in. Clas Ohlson and Meny were my two favorite stores here. My only complaint would be the tight parking spaces. Be very careful when opening your vehicle's doors. Overall, though, Bergen Storsenter is a nice place to browse and pick up a few items.

The stores here are the same as you'd find in any mall I've been to in Norway so nothing really impressed me or wow'd me in terms of variety, but it was easy to navigate around and was overall pretty clean. In keeping with Norway traditions, keep your 10 Kroner on you so you have it ready in the event you need to use the restroom. It's connected to a Ton hotel which is convenient if you're a guest there. Honestly, nothing really blew my mind here. I stopped in because I had an entire day in Bergen and the city is pretty small so eventually you just find yourself at places. Okay overall, but there are so many beautiful sights to see here in Bergen that if you're a tourist you don't need to rush here.
