Lerøy Mat has been located in the basement of Galleriet Shopping Centre forever. It has always been…read moreoverpriced, a luxury they can allow themselves with that location. Their line of products is impressing, but less so over the years, as the other grocery stores keep improving their selection. Also they have been beaten by others on the fresh food side (fish, seafood and meat), especially on variety. I often leave with unfinished business, not finding what I looked for, even early in the afternoon. The location is great, as mentioned. However; the store itself is often untidy, which is annoying for a shop that's aiming to be high-end. The staff is smiling and nice, but not very knowledgable. There's no point in asking questions in the fresh food section, only a few people there can answer. What I'm buying there: bread, a few vegetables that I can't find elsewhere, cheese, crisps and nuts. And every now and then fish, if they happen to have what I'm looking for.

My kid loved the fish and chips here (which I agreed with.

Couldn't ask for better dishes for the two of us.

When I first entered the restaurant I immediatly got a calm feeling of the atmosphere. The light was dimmed down and there were lighted candles at the tables. The staff was really nice and helpfull - and answered all my questions about the menu with a smile (which often tend to be a lot of questions). The menu was okey, but I think this is a good place to dine if you're a meat lover. We decided to try out the plank steak, and I'm so glad I did because that is the best plank steak I've ever tasted. The meat was perfectly fried, and the berneasauce contained a hint of creme fraise which made it SO much better. We also got butterfried veggies and mashed potatoes - an amazing combo! I don't think E.A.T is one of the cheapest places to eat in Bergen, but they definiatley have great food. Worth a try!

It was juicy and very unique. Never had it this juicy and sweet before. Large portion cost $240 USD which is about 0.9 lbs or 400g. 3. Mussels - Garlicky broth. Very good and small to medium sized meat. Overall average to USA. 4. Fish soup - Tiny bit salty but overall good amount of fish included. 5. Salmon (Aurora) sashimi - Buttery, smooth and very good.

The two servers waiting for the diners inside the vinyl-covered sunroom of Fish Me were on top of their game. Obliging our requests for photos and even allowing us to move tables, when we saw the harbour view seats were available. Smiles and yeses, came out of their mouths, which was surprisingly uncommon in Europe. For the food, though this was inside was a fish market and them aptly named Fish Me, we didn't order fish. We opted for the only two items in the "Meat Dishes" section of the menu. I had the Whale Steak (minke) which is technically a mammal, while my wife got Reindeer Entrecôte. We paired this with a Pinot Noir and Spicy Hot Chocolate. Both tasted like beef with the gamey flavor offsetted by the red wine sauce and the caramelized green beans. My presumption proven wrong, we left satiated and considered this a winning choice.

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.
