Classy and elegant ambiance. They have 2 stories, first floor welcomes walk in but it's first come…read morefirst serve, so when there's time a cruise ship boards, the wait can be long. The second floor is for reservations only and I recommend a reservation. It's not hard to book but do book as early as you can to get the normal time slots. I checked maybe 2.5 months ago and all the time slots for dinner were available, but a couple weeks later, only the early dinner time slots like 4pm is available.
The service is nice but not frequent and the host is friendly. We were allowed to use the restroom before my reservation time.
I love the menu, it carries so many Nordic traditional dishes, such as the whale steak, reindeer steak, Atlantic wolffish (catfish), deer stew, mussels, etc. We ordered the grilled reindeer steak and the pan fried wolffish. Both are beautifully plated, good portions and delicious with the right amount of seasoning. The Nordic cuisine likes to use local fruits to add sweetness to the sauce.
I took out 1star because t hey are pricy. For entrees in the price range of 40-60 is fine, but when the desserts are priced at 20+, they lose the marginal satisfaction.
Great location, great food. If your time in Bergen is short, this is one proper meal worth splurging on.
