As
I
wind
down
my
last
two
days
of
my
extended
stay
In
Norway,
I
look
back
upon
the
pleasures
of
foot
tours
in
Bergen.
The
City
Center
is
flanked
by
colorful
wooden
houses
on
the
old
warf,
once
the
center
of
the
Hanseatic
League’s
vast
trading
center.
Not
unlike
Amsterdam
and
other
major
European
trading
centers,
Bergen
hosts
a
large
variety
of
foreign
cuisines
brought
in
through
the
centuries.
To
find
a
restaurant
that
presents
an
eclectic,
world
wide
menu
though,
is
a
marvel.
So
I
present
‘Lola
Bistro’,
a
new
and
exciting
Bergen
dinning
spot.
Recommend
by
Sigrid
Rostad,
a
local
glass
artist,
I
wended
my
way
from
the
bus
station
through
boulevards,
lanes,
and
small
cobbled
side
streets
to
find
one
of
the
finest
meals
I’ve
had
in
ages.
Not
one
to
take
or
enjoy
food
pictures,
I
will
describe
what
Lotta,
one
of
the
owners,
described
as
non-complicated
dining
fare.
For
starters,
six
tiny,
silvery,
no
salt
or
fishy
taste,
anchovies
swimming
in
a
light
drizzle
of
olive
oil
and
a
sprig
of
herbs.
Next
served
was
a
small
dish
of
freshly
pitted
sweet
cherries,
topped
with
fresh,
very
creamy,
imported
Italian
mozzarella,
with
a
thin
layer
of
shaved
almonds.
One
of
three
available
main
courses
was
a
dish
of
three
very
small,
succulent
meat
balls
served
over
a
very
white,
creamy
hummus
(not
the
typical
ecru
colored
paste
I
usually
see),
topped
with
a
piquant
mix
of
very
thinly
sliced
garlic
and
tiny
green
peppers
and
a
light
coat
of
mild
olive
oil.
A
side
salad
of
summer
greens,
extremely
mild
feta
cheese
and
finely
ground
Egyptian
nuts
and
seeds
provided
not
only
a
wonderful
taste
but
a
pleasant
texture
as
well.
A
small
desert
of
creamy
white
chocolate
mouse
adorned
with
sliced
plums,
raspberries,
and
red
currants
brought
to
an
end
a
delightful
meal
of
varied
taste
and
textures
I
shall
long
remember.
Thank
you
Sigrid!
