The restaurant is styled like an American saloon with cowboy hats and western decor around the dining area and American country music playing in the background. They also have outdoor seating. We tried their tapas plate. I have to admit that my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The aioli was quite tasty and sweet and sour and ranch sauces were fine. The onion rings, chicken wings, and fried shrimp were on par with the best I have had, and the other fried foods were decent as well. The grapes were particularly good, and the red ones had a flavor that I had never encountered before. Overall, I had a great experience at Vossevangen Grill & Steakhouse and would recommend their tapas plate.

Service was fairly good. They have a very strange check system where you go up to the cash register and tell them what you ordered (extra strange because it was our server at the cash register!!).

After our late arrival into Bergen we decided to eat some Norwegian fish dishes at Pingvinen…read more We arrived at the right time and got seated at the back table. Service was fairly quick. Menu contained a number of Norwegian dishes of seafood, meat (including reindeer) and vegetarian. We knew ahead of time we wanted to try the plukkfisk and gratinated fish pie. The pie was the best dish for us that night. It had a nice and creamy texture along with a crunch on the crust due to the frying. It was a light dish compared to the plukkfisk. The plukkfisk was quite heavy with this fish/mashed potato mixture and while the fried bacon added some texture it could've used a little more acid for our tastes.

The flavors were excellent and this was served with a side of fried potatoes, green beans along with a bed of creamy mushroom. The vibes from the Gen Z staff were lit too. Seems like they were complaining about bf issues... Pricing may be elevated as I'm not sure if this was a tourist trap as I didn't see any locals. 495 NOK for lunch.

The food is absolutely delicious. We got the Ran, which is a fish soup dish. The soup itself tasted very much like a creamy Tom Yum soup, and the seasonal fish and mussels very fresh. The fish was a little on the dry side, but the foccacia paired extremely well with the soup. We also got the havamal, and the beef patty was very juicy and flavourful. The Viking plank seems to be a very popular dish, as it is a 5 course tasting menu paired with 5 different beers. Unfortunately we didn't get to try this one when we visited, but it looked great! The service is excellent. The waiter was very attentive, and took the time to split the soup to two bowls as he asked and we indicated that we would like to share it between the two of us. There isn't too much seating, so I can see that it could be crowded or difficult to find seats during peak season, so keep that in mind!

And for this reason, we ended up at the lovely Baroniet Rosendal Cafe on a recent weekend trip. On the lush grounds of Baroniet Rosendal, a historic estate and manor situated in Kvinnherad in Hordaland county, Norway dating back to the 1660's. There is a small entrance fee to the grounds and gardens that will allow you access to the cafe, it is worth it. We did not opt to tour the estate, but it is a very nice site from the outside, regardless. We found ourselves enjoying gorgeous plates of salmon, sausage, salads and a bottle of rosé along with many other revelers. There is a converted greenhouse with dining tables as well as indoor at the cafe and a covered middle. The cover comes in handy as Norway is known for its vast amount of rain showers, and even though it was raining during our lunch it was wonderful none the less. The service was friendly and efficient. You order and pay at the counter and then your hot meals are brought to your table. The menu is short, but robust and very high quality. My salmon plate was delicious and filling. The crowd is mainly tourists in hiking/touring gear, so the setting is very casual. However, you can dine in style with white tablecloths and proper stemware and plateware from which to enjoy your meal. Truly beautiful and remote setting. If you are in the area, it's a must.

It should not be classified as a $$$$ restaurant IMO, as it had extremely reasonable prices when you consider that Norway is a very expensive country. The guest house Ullensvang was easy to locate on our drive. It's a beautiful red building right off the narrow fjord road. There is a small parking lot in the rear that is reserved for guests, so no need to worry about where to park. In mid-September, nearing the off-season for hiking, we didn't have any trouble getting a spot. The restaurant is downstairs in the main building, but still has lots of windows and natural light inside. We came for dinner the night before hiking Trolltunga, thinking it'd be a good idea to stock up on carbs and not stress about cooking anything ourselves. Outside was a little stand selling local fruit, and a few other goodies - but get something before dinner if you're so inclined as they were packed up by the time we left later in the evening. The menu might seem a little odd at first...Thai and Scandinavian, say what?! But the couple who runs the restaurant reigns from each place and knocks their own cuisine out of the park. The last page of the menu was great as a reference key for any type of allergy. There were notations for shellfish, nuts, different seeds, and gluten. I really think the restaurant is knowledgable about their ingredients and would be able to ensure any allergy request was met based on this page. In diving into the menu, I will say that some of the translations from Norwegian to English aren't as descriptive of the traditional Norwegian dishes, so we did do a little looking up to see what the components were (more than just a basic translation). My husband and I decided to order something from both sides of the menu. When in Rome! (Or Århus?) He chose the traditional Hakkasteik while I selected the Kaeng Keaw Wan Khai. Both portions were larger than expected - definitely a good value! The green curry was most definitely spicy, as described on the menu, and tasted very fresh. There was a great balance of veggies mixed in and plenty of rice to soak up that delicious sauce. Originally there was a thought of, "Hey, this would make great left overs. I should really take some home for later", but who am I kidding? I cleaned that plate. The Hakkasteik wasn't as much to my taste, but I knew it probably wouldn't be my favorite dish ever based on the description. It was an excellent take on a traditional Norwegian dish though, and my husband loved it. The Hakkasteik comes with a wafer thin cracker crisp that you can put the meat mixture on. This gave the dish some texture variation (a crunch) since it is a fairly uniform consistency otherwise. His dish was much heavier due to the blend of meats and barley, and VERY filling. My husband somehow finished the entire thing (by now I really shouldn't be surprised by this). We decided to make room for dessert and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the apple cake as the entire nearby region is filled with orchards. It was incredible. We kept joking (kind of?) about licking the dish for that sauce. While I didn't order anything to drink, my husband did have a glass of cider. I snuck a sip and it was absolutely delicious. I would have indulged in a glass had I not been driving. I'd definitely recommend being the passenger on a trip here! Overall, I'd 100% recommend this to anyone in the region and will definitely be back should we travel to this area of Norway again. We were so satisfied after dining here versus some of the other meals we indulged in during our trip that were just as pricey, but left me hungry.
