    Fishcakes are juicy and flavorful. I like the cheese one better than the original fishcakes. Fish soup is creamy and delicious. There are some fish balls inside, which also taste great. I also like the mashed potatoes, there are fish bits inside the potatoes. The fish bits elevate the potatoes and give them some texture. I tried other dishes as well. But the above three are the ones that awed me the most. Definitely a must-visit restaurant in Bergen. The food is not only tasty but also fairly priced.

    The fish soup was hearty and creamy, containing fishballs and small bits of vegetables. The fish cakes were also tasty. The food was reminiscent of Chinese fishballs and fish cakes that I grew up eating. I enjoyed my meal here. The restaurant has a cafeteria feel to it. The food is in a display case at the front, so you can have a look before you order. Friendly service. Toilet on site.

    Fish soup and fish cake were delicious. The soup was creamy and rich in flavors. It's a perfect match with bread. The fish cake was authentic and tasty. One of my favorite places in Bergen!

    We loved the fish soup a lot, a very nice place. Not the fanciest one, but a kind of Lokal fast food stall, but cosy and nice.

    Traditional Norwegian food - not pretentious, not a rip off unlike most other places around here, and fuss-free. Lots of tourists and locals alike so that says a lot. The fish cakes were really yummy and the soup as well, really hearty, and authentic local feel. Def a must go when in Bergen!

    Nice little place for a light meal. We ordered a platter of 5 and fish soup. I’ll recommend getting the platter of 5 so you get to taste a bit of everything. I feel that the soup goes better in smaller portion rather than as a meal

    A lovely and quite affordable place with a fantastic fish soup. Most of the dishes (except fir the bread on the side) are gluten-free so suitable for celiacs too. Recommended!

    Very good lunch menu with a little bit of everything for less than 200kor. The place is quite small but people don’t stay hours and tu also can take away. My favorites are the mashed potatoes and the salmon wrap. The food was so tasty and the staff is efficient. Plan a stop in this restaurant

    This restaurant serves great Norwegian food. The fish soup and fish burger and fish stew are great. Good price. It got quite busy for lunch. Short walk from the cable car station

  • 4/5 XR H. 1 year ago on Google
    Taste good, but there’s only some surimi balls. No seafood inside. Another dish is so called fishcake plate w/ two big fishcakes.. it costs around 140nok, this one not recommend. (But I personally really like the purple onions.)

  • 5/5 Gär t. 1 year ago on Google
    The fish soup is dreamlike. The price is more than moderate and the quality is still very good. Always worth a short stop.

  • 5/5 Cole M. 7 months ago on Google
    A wonderful local place serving traditional fish cakes in varying flavors and forms. Definitely worth a stop! A little outside of the touristy area of Bergen as well so it was very reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Kuba U. 6 months ago on Google
    First place I visited in Norway which reminded my of this kind of Eastern European fast services bars. You enter, order by the till, in few minutes order is ready, you took it to the table and enjoy. And there are stuff to enjoy! Fish is a star here, so whatever you want - soup, sandwich, cake, wrap - it will be worth eat. Due to famous Bergen weather, I recommend soup and bacalao. They also know here how to treat potatoes. There is no a lot of places like this in Norway - local, simple, fast and tasty.

  • 5/5 Spectacular T. 6 months ago on Google
    We both ordered the #4 'Best Of' fishcake platter, and everything on it really hit the spot! We were very satisfied with our meals, and the fishcake texture was very smooth. Perfect density and not too heavy, with beautifully balanced flavor. No unpleasant sponginess. Fish soup, mashed potatoes with bacon, roasted potatoes with roasted bell pepper, salmon wrap, and sauce were all lovely. Unpretentious food served beautifully. I'm a heavy eater, but I finished everything on my plate and left completely sated without being uncomfortably full. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Bergen!

    Very nice and traditional Norwegian Food. Prices for Norway alright and good Taste. Definitely to recommend if you wanna try something local ;)

  • 4/5 Edward T. 5 months ago on Google
    The fish soup and various other pieces including fish cakes were all tasty and warming on a cold day. There’s only a few tables so you might need to wait a little if you’re a larger group. Prices are very reasonable and service is good.

  • 5/5 Zohaib J. 5 months ago on Google
    Want soup on a cold day? Come here! We came here to eat some fish soup on a cold/rainy Norway day. The soup was so good! Loved the fresh fish in there and the bread served with it was one of the best I've had. I highly recommend coming here and trying their soup!

  • 5/5 Lim Qin K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the fish burger and fish cake for lunch. It was so good and affordable that we came back again, to try the "best of hagelin" set, which was essentially a sampling of a few dishes: soup, wrap, mashed potato, carrots, fish cake, etc. The place is a rather simple cafe, but the atmosphere is cosy and the service staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Steven C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very topic, traditional Norwegian fast food which was very good for a quick lunch or snack! We ordered fish ball soup and fish cakes plates, both of the dishes are very good but I we come back again, I would only order the fish ball soup! It is warm, creamy, fish ball are soft and quite tender! We saw many locals to eat here, we are the only foreigners. Staff are able to communicate in English to take your order. Menu also includes English translation!

  • 3/5 Netta E. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited two times because of good reviews, for fish soup and fish patties with veggies. The food was okay for the price but veggies were way overcooked and everything has an industrial flavour/feeling. Friendly service.

  • 4/5 Mutty 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to dine in for a quick and cheap meal. Fish cakes were decent, and available in various sizes and flavours. Recommended if you are looking for a simple lunch in Bergen.

  • 5/5 Kelsie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fish burger and the fish mashed potatoes was yummy. We also tried a couple of the fish cakes (they were nice but a little bit oily). The woman who served us was friendly and helpful. It’s a casual atmosphere and has a toilet. It was really reasonably priced compared to any other places to eat in Norway!

  • 4/5 Bee S. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a fast food style restaurant, not many sitting place. Every food marked with 2 prices, take away is cheaper than dining in. If you order simple food, recommend to take away. The fish soup is very tasty but the bacalhau is too salty..

  • 4/5 Helge E. 3 years ago on Google
    Best fastfood in town? Fishsoup and cat fish burger

  • 5/5 Sari 2 years ago on Google
    Very Norwegian, very cute!

  • 5/5 Kelvin W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great Fiskesuppe! Good bacalao, loved it. We have similar fish cakes in Singapore too, so its nice! Must try in Bergen

    One of the must eat foods in Norway is fish soup and fishcakes. Upon local recommendations, I came to Sostrene Hagelin which is known as the place to eat fish cakes, fish balls and fish pudding - Norwegian style. For lunch I had the fishcakes in brown sauce (79 NOK) as well as the fishsoup (47 NOK for a small). The fish cakes were light and had a bouncy texture. The brown sauce (gravy) was flavorful but not too heavy. It paired well with the tyttebær (lyngon berry preserve) and scallions on the fish cakes. The side of veggies included diced potatoes, carrots & celery-root. They were soft but not mushy and tasted fresh. The fish soup was thick and hearty and in addition to carrots and celery, it even had small pieces of fish cake in it. I think I ate a little too much as I saw many locals just come in and get the large fish soup for lunch. Definitely a filling meal and so incredibly worth the price, especially when travelling on a budget - forget the fish market and come here for a more economical meal.

    Are you going to have lunch in burger king to save some money in expensive norway? Why don’t you try a cheap typical bergen dish instead. This place is a fast food type of restaurant but it is not a chain, with tasty fish food based menu. Try the soup and the fishcakes (kind of fish burgers).

  • 3/5 Magda B. 4 years ago on Google
    I mean it’s probably me not the food, I guess it’s not my cup of tea 🙈 we tried quite a few things but didn’t really enjoy it. Fish soup tasted a bit odd, like powdery, and the rest was tasteless to be honest.

  • 4/5 ade0410 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent seafood and good service too. Part of the fish market in Bergen. Called in here for a paella and fish soup. Both excellent and good value. Friendly, buzzy atmosphere. Not too long to wait for the food which was all made on the premises fresh. Would recommend. Good selection of drinks. Overall we had a good meal.

  • 5/5 Arantxa Lain R. 2 years ago on Google
    Recommend for sure!!! Try the small fish soup and a couple of fish cakes, and you have a full lunch menu for barely 15€, perfect for Bergen's rainy days. We'll try the bacalao and other stuff next time, plenty of things to enjoy (all fish!). The ladies upfront are really nice and will help you out in case you need it
