We made a…read morereservation as we heard it is hard to walk-in to dinner spots in Bergen (though this may not be true for solo travelers not with a large group). It is located in earshot of the Floibanen Funicular. We ordered a la carte (not tasting menu). The starters were all lovely, but the pasta was extremely salty. Maybe the chef had a too heavy hand. The langoustine (local specialty) was super yummy. The hummus was a crowd favorite. I got the chicken entree which was delicious. It's hard to cook chicken right. This one was slightly chewy/undercooked in my opinion, but didn't detract from the dish overall. We were too full for dessert! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the service was top-notch.

The café in the name is misleading as it is really a restaurant (part of the hotel)…read more You will not get pastries after 11:00 when the lunch menu starts. The expectations ran high as the place was advertised as the opening of "THE café" in Bergen. The space is fantastic. The interior is very spacious and modern yet delicate & cosy. Staff and service friendly and professional. There are some things that disappoint big time: like plain awful teas... Twinnings? Seriously?! Folk og Røvere has a better selection... Smoothies were absolutely appalling - who on earth puts more sugar (syrup) in blended fruit? Grilled bread of my sandwich had terrible burn, rancid oil/butter taste to it... It's 2018 and the trends in food are natural, organic and simple. I would still recommend the place because of the urban atmosphere so scarce in Bergen.

In the restaurant they only have a 4-dish menu. It starts well with the halibut (NO:kveite) wrapped…read morein nori, and the second dish carpaccio of hake (NO:lysing). When it comes to the main dish: the lamb you still feel like you're on a starter. There are very thin two slices of lamb with two quarters of a radish of some sort. On the side you got two(!) leaves of lettuce drowning in sth that looked like a diluted mayo (this you were to share between 3 people!). How about a potato or other veggies? Equally hilarious was the desert that consisted of a strawberry strategically cut in many pieces, a hard piece of raw rhubarb and a tiny dry piece of sponge cake. Two stars for the starters and the service. Would not recommend.
