We like checking out grocery stores during our vacations because we like to get food gifts for…read moreourselves and our friends and family. I tend to like to go to grocery stores for this instead of souvenir shops because they're a bit cheaper and you get to glimpse into the lives of the people who live and work in these areas. Makes me feel closer to the culture. Rema is one of the larger chains, and it was on the path of our adventure, so we came right in. The store is clean and well organized. There is a large selection, even though the store itself isn't that large. We were surprised at the sheer volume of stuff they were able to fit into the store but still well organized. We were able to get most of the items I was looking for (especially brunost cheese and Troika bars) for a very reasonable price. The people working here were helpful and the person checking us out was very friendly.

A good place to purchase groceries in Bergen, Norway is Meny. They carry everything you would…read moreexpect a grocery store in the United States to have. Cannot tell you how their prices compare to the competition. Norway is an expensive place to live, but I do enjoy visiting this amazing country. Anyways at Meny, I especially enjoy their baked goods. They make some delicious treats. My favorite item so far is their Marzipan cake. So good! Shop Meny!

Not sure what's up with this Kiwi not feeling and love but I can change that…read more This Kiwi was recommended by a neighbor during my late evening arrival in Bergen. They pointed out that it's a quick walk from most spots on the Nordnes peninsula. With decent hours and walkability what more could I ask for? It was your pretty average kiwi with a good selection. I found it to be clean and tidy and well organized, nothing to complain about really. It lacks the size and selection of the Rema 100 on Strandgaten but for your everyday items it certainly gets the job done.

Pretty respectable grocery store with most of the basics you'd expect. Open till 11pm.read more

I bought a 2K bag of chickpeas full of beetles, went to the store and was denied a return/refund…read more The manager just told me: "This is not our problem, it's their problem (meaning the brand)". 60 NOK is a lot for an international student, a little bit of sympathy would have been welcomed... the bottom line of this is, before buying in this store, check -very- carefully your chickpeas!

Nice selection of ethnic foods, spices, seasonings that you don't find at other grocery stores…read more Open on Sunday until 18:00. Decent prices. Good selection of frozen meats and fish.
