Bergen City of Gastronomy
Bergen is part of UNESCO Creative Cities of of Gastronomy and builds on the city’s thousand-year history as a meeting place and trading centre for local produce and unique culinary traditions.
Surrounded by the sea, deep fjords and high mountains and with ample access to fertile mountain pastures, the region produces first-rate produce from the sea and land.
The traditional culinary culture relies on access to a great variety of local produce, which provide inspiration for creative and innovative cuisine. The Bergen region has a number of internationally renowned restaurants and a growing number of world-world-class chefs who cultivate, develop and pass on local food culture and gastronomy, and who combine local produce, seasonal twists and creativity exquisitely.
Pubs & Bars
The nightlife in Bergen is an experience of its own. A place to visit is the historical Bryggen, where many of the buildings date back to the Hanseatic times, when seafarers from all over the world left their mark on Bergen in general and especially this part of downtown.
Bergen is also well known as one of Norway largest student cities, and the student life has created a young, viral and compact atmosphere in Bergen city center. We like to think there is a wide range of (nearly) everything.
One of the most popular food tours in Bergen is the Seafood experience at Cornelius Seafood Restaurant just outside the city center. Choose between visiting Cornelius for lunch or dinner. This restaurant is perhaps one of the best seafood restaurants in Norway. With local food and a beautiful setting, it has definitely found a winning formula.
