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.

They have free wifi and the password is at the bottom of one of the blackboard behind the bartender. Opted for the reindeer filet and it was excellent. The reindeer was cooked to a perfect medium and seared to perfection on the outside. 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.

It has a very thoughtful bar program and excellent cocktails that look to be made from scratch (not batched). You can also order classics off the menu or there are great scotches, whiskeys, even mezcal to drink neat/rocks. The vibe is chill and a bit upscale but not pretentious. There's a good mix of Norwegians, tourists, and expats who visit and it presented as a great place to meet people. We noticed some of the staff from other restaurants around town would come here for their after work drink if that tells you something. Special mention to Scout who was the bartender the several nights we visited. All around good guy who was very friendly with a great attitude. He also tends bar very well. He is efficient, quick, and attentive. I don't feel like I ever saw him leave people hanging waiting to order or for their drinks. Also Bella who was quite fun to talk with and made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!
