    Whale carpaccio was really good and something different. Never tried it before. Local goat cheese was also good. Steamed fish as a main dish was delicious. Location is nice, near the city center and the north sea side. Service was fine, the waiter found a table for us, despite the fact that the restaurant was full, and we did not have a reserve.

    We visited Bergen and the Unicorn Fish Restaurant some 10+ years ago. Coming back to Bergen it was a must to have dinner there again. You should really reserve a table, which we hadn't, but we were lucky this time as well and got a table. In our view this is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food. It is highly recommended!

    Delightful experience within walking distance of the lake. Good food, great service and a heap of history attached to this restaurant. The menu isn't very vegetarian friendly but definitely a go to if u do fish, meat, dairy and all the rest. If you can, walk here, so you can enjoy city vibes and night vibes around the area after your delicious meal. Also if you are doing wine with dinner, order a bottle and ask to keep it at the table.

    Make reservations, it's a busy place. We called the night before and was able to book an 8pm reservation on a Friday. The whale carpaccio is very interesting, a nice smokey flavor. The fish soup is excellent, and so was the angular fish. The cheese ice cream is a must-have! The decor feels like we're in a refurbished ship. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

    This restaurant is a real unicorn. 🦄Amazingly fresh seafood, excellent service. The server even let us try out wines before choosing. If you are in Bergen, you should try this place. Look for Knut - he works on Saturdays and provides excellent service and recommendations. 👍 Enjoy the photos.

    Fantastic fish restaurant in the oldest houses of Bergen which have seen multiple fires along their long history. We arrived on a weekend without booking and were lucky to get a table. All the fish dishes we had were delicious and easy to eat even for non-fish-lovers. The fried turbot with the butter sauce was a treat and the scallops for starters for majestic. Very friendly staff and quick service, we would highly recommend. Spent 1400 NOK (100£) for two with beers. I thought the location and decoration of the restaurant gives a lot of charm: the floor is uneven, located on the first floor of a wooden house, full of ancient paintings inside.

    Don’t be mislead by the name, the Unicorn restaurant is definitely worth a visit at Bergen! You have dinner in one of the old houses of Bryggen with very fresh and quality fish and sea food including whale as local specialty. The service is nice and the atmosphere is also special so definitely worth a visit!

    Really enjoyable meal. The house white wine was amazing. The bread service was salty and delicious. A minor detail- but the water pitcher came with ice. I got the salmon, which was tasty. And everyone else enjoyed their meals. The blueberry tart with ice cream was fresh and well made. Friends got the brown cheese ice cream, which they enjoyed. The location was nice. Highly recommended.

    Lovely place! We both had the 4 course meal consisting of: Whale carpaccio, mussels soup, catfish with paprika sauce and sorbet. We found the carpaccio to be our favorite course, very well assembled. Excellent service all night and a nice a cosy old restaurant.

    Try ... the pure taste of fresh fish. Great dish .. but fish liver (in a small bowl) - just for the veeery curious

  • 5/5 Denisse L. 6 months ago on Google
    I tried the whale stake since I wanted to try something local, also tried the starter with the shrimp and chili sauce which actually brought tears to my eyes! It was a delicious perfect combination of flavors. The creamy mussels are also amazing

  • 5/5 Hilde H. 2 years ago on Google
    I would give this place 10 stars if I could: we had an absolutely delightful dinner here on Saturday. The interior and atmosphere of this restaurant is something you just have to experience yourself: the building is built in 17something and they have kept the original walls. The service was impeccable. My father has Parkinson and the staff was outstanding. My only regret is that I didn't take any pictures of the food: it was so good we all ate it before I remembered to take pictures. But no worries: I will be back asap!

    Was highly overrated in my opinion, however, my friends seemed to really enjoy it. I thought it was quite flavourless!

  • 3/5 Daniel W. 2 years ago on Google
    Mixed feelings. I booked a table of 8 with 4 kids after seeing good reviews. Location: 5 stars, unique building, good rustic environment. Food: 4 stars, good and fresh, can’t complain, enjoyed it. Service: 2 stars, wasn’t hostile but not friendly either. I can only say it wasn’t rude but very cold and unwelcoming. Overall didn’t enjoy it as service is a big factor for me. Maybe it’s because we had 4 kids… so keep that in mind. Good luck.

    A good fish restaurant but lack the wow factor. If you like traditional well made fish and potato dishes this place is for you. If you want something extraordinary take whale carpaccio (see photo)

    Had a great meal, I had fish dish my husband had the all you can eat crab. He absolutely loved it. The staff were first class

  • 2/5 Jesse O. 1 year ago on Google
    To be honest, I was very underwhelmed by this experience. Starters were small with very scant protein. The scallop dish included 2 scallops, both smaller than a half dollar. Crab soup had one small piece of crawfish in it. Mains were larger, but not inspired. No food in the whole meal that was surprising or delightful. Didn’t stay for dessert. I would save your money and eat somewhere more casual.

  • 4/5 Laura G. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere is nice and the time seems stopped once you open the restaurant door. The food is good, tasty and fresh, not too expensive compared with other places in Bergen. Worth the experience.

    Very traditional restaurant with vintage interior design, great service and high quality sea food. Not the cheapest restaurant, but we knew that in advance. You get great food for the price and it‘s worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Francisco C. 8 months ago on Google
    This was for sure the best food experience we had at Norway. After 6 days eating only local stuff in Norway we can tell this place was the very best place to have dinner. Great service, amazing building and of course the best food. Thanks!

  • 5/5 James B. 9 months ago on Google
    I would say an almost unmissable dining experience in Bergen. Set in a beautiful historical building along the famous waterfront, siting inside is an experience in itself. The service was excellent, attentive and breaks between courses. The fish soup, fried catfish and fish duo I can personally recommend. Then for dessert there is only one choice, the brown cheese ice cream. Our waiter Frank, who again was excellent the whole time strongly recommended it to us and I was so wrong to initially doubt him, it is truly delicious

  • 5/5 Cole W. 10 months ago on Google
    We loved this place! Tasty food in adequate amounts, excellent company, and great service. Our server was attentive and patient while explaining our menu and drink choices; always with a smile on her face.The decor and setting of this restaurant are timeless,. We sat at a window table overlooking the harbor as people have for 500+ years. It's hard not to feel the history, and appreciate the decor when sitting here. A winning combination! I would definitely eat here again.

  • 5/5 samm g. 8 months ago on Google
    found this place by a simple google search and walked over from our hotel. almost did not get to try it out because they had so many reservations. but luckily, we were able to sit and eat. It it 100% worth trying, so make the reservation after reading this! the food was delicious and the presentation was perfect. the brown cheese ice cream was a perfect ending to a fantastic meal! we did the 5 Course option, worth the price!

  • 4/5 Andrea H. 7 months ago on Google
    Bergen’s most beloved dish is a variation of fish soup or chowder flavored to be a bit sweet and sour. We had a nice casual dinner in a historical restaurant with roots going back to the 1300’s in a building restored to resemble how it looked in the 1700’s. Our server was working there over 20 years. Besides the soup, we were also quite enamored w the smoked whale carpaccio and the local Salmon and Halibut caught that morning just a few meters away from us. And the Norwegian brown cheese ice cream was a delightful ending. #thefoodietraveler

    What a wonderful place to eat food when in Bergen. I would like to commend the wonderful people who works here, they are very nice and accomodating, open for conversations. The restaurant has an amazing interior and the food were scrumptious, i had the tasting menu and it was amazing. Try the brown cheese ice cream for dessert, it is highly recommended :)

  • 4/5 Lekker P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good quality, but a tad expensive. Very good atmosphere, cozy and romantic. Nice and friendly staff. Good food, wine etc. But rather small portions. We had an easy day, so it was not a problem, but wouldn't recommend it after a day of hiking.

    (Translated by Google) The food was delicious. Very attentive waiters too. We had a table a little hidden from the views of the street, but inside it has a lot of charm with the paintings and decorations. You can see that it is many years old but that is what gives the site its touch as well. (Original) La comida estaba deliciosa. Los camareros muy atentos también. Nos tocó una mesa un poco escondida de las vistas de la calle, pero dentro tiene mucho encanto con los cuadros y las decoraciones.

    Delicious food in an a quant, comfortable setting! The restaurant is on the second floor of one of the colorful waterfront houses in Bryggen. I ordered the salmon here and it was cooked to perfection. Was in Norway for two weeks this trip, and this was the best meal I had! Highly recommend!!!

  • 2/5 Nicole N. 3 years ago on Google
    The food in the restaurant was ok, but not extraordinary. Expensive as it is in a Norway restaurant. But which was really annoying was the waiter who was absolutely unwelcoming towards us. A younger couple didn't seem to fit in his picture in this restaurant. No one asked if the food was good like they asked other guests on a regular basis. This experience made us feel quite bad during our stay and we left straight after finishing our meal.
