Jest

A new and trendy eatery that focuses on brunch, and oh boy, the brunch is good!



The menu consists of various set menus inspired by famous cities, e.g., Brooklyn Brunch or Brisbane Brunch. With the set menus, you get several small dishes named and a small dessert. So good! They also have regular sandwiches and other smaller dishes, but we recommend trying the set menus.



Bergen Brunch is the perfect place for brunch and bubbles. A good tip is to order a table before you get there, as they are often fully booked.

A delectable feast awaits on a wooden table, surrounded by plates filled with a variety of food. The spread includes a succulent bowl of shrimp adorned with dill, a plate of vibrant green salad teeming with fresh tomatoes and lettuce, and a collection of mouth-watering dishes. Close by, a glass of water glistens, reflecting the soft ambient light. A slice of freshly baked white bread completes the scene, adding a touch of simplicity and comfort to the enticing display.

Bergen Brunch

In this restaurant it feels like you are stepping into Paris in 1920. The interior and music is done with real finesse, and is really something to see when you are visiting Bergen. 



The French menu doesn&#8217;t disappoint either, with a nice selection of food and wine. Whether you are visiting Cherie for lunch or dinner, you can&#8217;t go wrong. Once you&#8217;re there we recommend that you take a walk around the venue and explore all the details!

Brasserie Cherie

A well-known seafood restaurant located on an island right outside Bergen called Bjorøy. The restaurant serves high-quality seafood from the day&#8217;s catch, and the view from the restaurant tops it off. 



To get there, you can travel by boat if you happen to have one, or get the boat trip from the center of Bergen included when you book. This might sound complicated, but it&#8217;s not &#8211; and the food is worth it! It&#8217;s a 25-minute boat ride from the city center, and you can enjoy a drink to make the time pass.



Cornelius is the place to go to if you want a complete experience. Want to celebrate an anniversary? Cornelius is the place! Want to propose to someone? Cornelius is the place! Just want a delicious meal with a fantastic view? Who would have guessed; Cornelius is also the place!

The image portrays a two story outdoor restaurant, located against a mountain wall. On the other side of the restaurant there is water.

Cornelius Seafood restaurant

Here you will find the healthiest and heartiest lunch in town!



They have a selection of excellent soups(meat, vegetarian and vegan), in addition to salads. You can compose the salads yourself, and they make a salad base with fresh spinach, which they mix with a delicious mango dressing.



In addition to delicious soups and salads, they also have coffee, matcha, golden milk, and a selection of raw cakes.

The scene showcases a delectable display of culinary delights, brimming with various vegetables and rice. The focus is on a large bowl overflowing with vibrant vegetables and fluffy grains, serving as the centerpiece of the composition.

Craving some Asian food? Then we suggest you try out Ying Ying. A restaurant where beautiful Asian dishes and an elegant atmosphere meet, you&#8217;ll definitely have a fantastic experience. They adapt their menu seasonally, to make sure you always get the best ingredients. We recommend the Szechuan Beef, and maybe some Baozi if you&#8217;re feeling extra hungry!

Ying Ying

A relatively new and very popular restaurant in Bergen that serves Italian food. From our experience, we haven&#8217;t tried anything we didn&#8217;t like!



It is located in the cozy &#8220;Skostredet&#8221; and has a nice outside terrace in addition to the inside space. This place is golden year-round.



The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is top-notch. We recommend you book well in advance or be prepared to stand in line. They have a few tables for drop-in, but there is usually a queue.

In this image, a wooden table is adorned with an appetizing spread of four plates filled with different dishes. The dishes vary in contents and presentation, providing a culinary feast for the eyes. One plate holds a delectable cake placed on a pristine white plate. Another plate showcases a savory pasta dish, topped with a rich sauce that adds a burst of flavor to the meal. Finally, a plate filled with a diverse assortment of food items sits on the table, showcasing a harmonious blend of flavors and cuisine.

Villani

One of our top-pics in Bergen! At this cozy bistro, they change the menu daily but always have a fish dish, a meat dish and good selection of vegetarian dishes. They also have wonderfully good small dishes such as falafel with hummus, grilled vegetables and tomatoes with feta and hazelnuts. It&#8217;s a bit hard to pinpoint the exact cuisine. It just feels like they make whatever they like &#8211; and it works!



If you&#8217;re a group, we recommend you ask the waiter to put together a tasting menu. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.

Allmuen

Hands down the best sushi in Bergen. Nama is known for its excellent service, the good-looking venue, and the quality of the kitchen. The restaurant combines good ingredients and simple preparation into a completely unique taste experience. 



The food is based on sharing, and they have great drinks. They have Japanese robatayaki cuisine, Izakaya, and a sushi bar. Perfect place to bring your date if you want to impress someone.

The scene is set on a table adorned with an assortment of delectable treats. In the center of the table lies a plate of sushi. The sushi roll is garnished with a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds and topped with decadent caviar. To accompany the delectable sushi, a refreshing drink awaits.

Si vous aimez la cuisine chinoise, Banzha à Bergen est l&#8217;endroit qu&#8217;il vous faut!

Vous ferez ainsi un voyage gustatif dans la province du Yunnan, en Chine, et vous aurez l&#8217;occasion de découvrir une culture culinaire unique.

Picture illustrating food at Banzha in Bergen

Banzha

One of the coziest places to eat in Bergen, and the food is amazing. They have classic dishes such as mussels, fish, and meat inspired by Nordic and continental traditions. 



Colonialen also has a large and rich wine list put together by knowledgeable sommeliers. They have a great lunch menu with, among other things, mussels, eggs benedict, and beef tartar.

An elegant dining experience unfolds in a rustic setting, portrayed on a canvas with masterful strokes. The scene depicts a group of people gathered around a table, engaged in animated conversation and savoring a sumptuous meal. The atmosphere is convivial and relaxed, with guests dressed in stylish attire. The focal point of the composition is the ornate wooden table, occupying the center of the image. Adorned with a set with an assortment of plates and glasses.

Engen Restaurant

Best lunch in town, hands down.. Located in Bergen Kunsthall, Landmark offers lunch and early dinner, and is a definite must-try while you&#8217;re in town! 



The menu changes daily, so you can visit several times during your stay and still be amazed. The menu includes the &#8220;regulars&#8221; like avocado toast, fish soup, falafel, cheesy fries, as well as the daily special(s). In addition, they have a great selection of natural wines, craft beers, and cocktails. 



Are you visiting for the first time? Everything on the menu is a safe bet, so you can&#8217;t go wrong. They usually close at 17.00, so be sure to be there in good time. The vibe is relaxed and cool, and what we love about this place is that you can find people from all over, from musicians in their 20s to ladies 70+ meeting up for tea.

Landmark Café

Dinner with a view? Skyskraperen is a restaurant, located on the top of Mount Ulriken in Bergen, is an experience in and of itself. You might guess that the English translation of its name is the Skyscraper, aptly named as you will dine on top of a sea of clouds if the weather is right. 



You can either take a cable car from the mountain&#8217;s base or hike up there if you are feeling sporty. Fine dining at its most spectacular!

Skyskraperen

Looking for a place to brunch? Then Kaigaten Deli is the perfect alternative for you. 



The deli is a place where local quality food meets the big world. They have their own Sicilian pizza, water-in-your-mouth cheese, ham, wine, beer and cider from Hardanger. We highly recommend the shrimp-sandwich!



If the weather is nice you might even be able to enjoy your meal in the sun, with a view to the beautiful Lille Lungegårdsvannet.

Kaigaten Deli

Bryggen is a must-see once you&#8217;re in Bergen, and to be honest, it&#8217;s almost impossible not to. Colorful wooden buildings facing the harbor contain a warren of shops and eating and drinking places &#8211; fascinating to walk around; the buildings are under continual maintenance and are clearly moving as they all lean in and propped up on each other.



If you get a chance, book a guided tour of the buildings to learn more about the history!

The image shows as the sun sets over the tranquil harbor. The air is filled with a sense of serenity and bliss. The broad expanse of the harbor is adorned with multiple boats, each with its own unique character and charm. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of the fading sunlight, setting an idyllic backdrop for the collection of vessels.

Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf

If you&#8217;re in Bergen and the weather is good, going to Mount Ulriken is an absolute must! You can either hike up or take the cable car up the mountainside. From the top, you get the most beautiful view of Bergen, and there is also a restaurant that serves both light snacks and a full sit-down dinner. 



If you like hiking, we recommend hiking up or down to get the full experience. You can take the Ulriken bus (it costs about 100kr for a round trip) or public transport. If you choose public transport, you can take Bybanen line 2 from the center to Haukeland Hospital or bus no. 5 or 6 from Festplassen, 12 from Olav Kyrres gate, or 16E from Xhibition. 



Get off at the Haukeland Hospital stop C and D. Follow the signs from there, approximately 10 minutes. And go!

Mount Ulriken

Fløyen is a must-do while in Bergen. Fløibanen, the funicular, brings you up the hillside, from Bergen city center to the top of the mountain in 6 minutes. At Mount Fløyen, you will find beautiful views of Bergen, the nearby islands, fjords, and the mountains surrounding Bergen. Fløyen is a great destination for hiking, mountain biking, and soft adventures. Fløien Folkerestaurant is open daily from May until September. You can also buy snacks and a beer once you reach the top! 



The directions mark the start of the funicular, but you can also hike to the top.

At the Bergen Aquarium, you can study a colorful and exciting range of fish, watch the otters and other animals get food, and watch 360-degree films in Domen, Storsalen. 



The nice thing about the Aquarium is that you can be both indoors and outdoors. There is also a large playground on the roof. Children and adults alike at Bergen Aquarium can see, read about, and follow the animals and aquarium keepers at close range. You can watch shows and feedings and see how fish and animals act when in their element.

The image showcases a scene at an aquarium, where a group of people is captivated by the marine life on display. Various individuals gather around a large shark tank, entranced by the magnificent creatures swimming within. With a vibrant blue color dominating the scene, the aquarium creates a serene and ethereal environment. It serves as a window into a captivating underwater world, enchanting visitors and transporting them into the depths of the ocean.

Yes! Our luggage storage is open for all guests before check-in and after check-out. Just ask our hosts at the hotel, and they will help you out! Please note that luggage is stored at the guest&#8217;s own risk.

Can I store my luggage at the hotel?

Airport bus: Look for signs pointing to the airport bus terminal. An express bus called &#8220;Flybussen&#8221; goes from the airport to the city center. You can easily buy tickets at the bus terminal or online.



Light Rail: There&#8217;s also an excellent light rail system called &#8220;Bybanen.&#8221; It&#8217;s a train that goes right into the city center. You can find the station inside the airport terminal; follow the well-marked signs. 



Get off at “Bergen Busstasjon,” and the hotel is a 5-minute walk away. 



You can also travel by taxi, but we recommend the light rail or bus, both are more sustainable and nicer to your wallet!

How do I get to the hotel from the airport?

Bergen is mainly known for its mountains and fjords, but the city also has some beaches. We recommend Marineholmen Beach, Sandviken Sjøbad and Nordnes Sjøbad. 



If you are looking for a blue flag-certified beach, we recommend Helleneset Beach.

Are there any beaches in Bergen?

Yes! In Bergen, we have something called City Bike (bysykkel), where you can rent a bicycle from different stations around the city. You can rent it at the closest station to the hotel and leave it at the closest station to where you are going (if there is room). The closest rental station is Strømgaten, 1 minute from the hotel. You can read more on bergenbysykkel.no.

Is there anywhere I can rent a bike?

Nygårdsparken is the closest park to both our hotels in Bergen. It&#8217;s a beautiful park with great opportunities for picnics with friends, to walk your dog or to just get some air in nice surroundings! It&#8217;s super popular in the summertime.

Are there any parks nearby?

Of course! Extra towels, a water kettle, and extra pillows are available in our Citybox Host Office on the ground floor.

Can I get extra towels?

7(!) mountains surround Bergen. So, there are plenty of hiking opportunities. The most popular mountain is Mount Fløyen, where you can take the Funicular or hike to the top. You can hike straight to Ulriken, Rundemanen, and Sandviksfjellet from the top of Fløyen. Both the Funicular station and the starting point of the hike are in the city center.

Are there any hiking opportunities nearby?

You can bring your furry family member for an extra 15€/200NOK/200SEK per stay; just let us know in advance. We can’t wait to have them stay with us! We do love all animals, but we must put a leash on it and stick to only one dog or cat per room.

Can I bring my dog?

Does my room get cleaned every day?
