Pygmalion Økocafe & Galleri

Restaurant Cafe

👍👍 Great restaurant for a lunch/dinner in Bergen! Nothing too fancy since you have to order at the counter. But the food was good, prices are relatively good for Norway, service was friendly! We recommend the garlic bread to share as starter! People often mention good, service, nice, atmosphere, friendly, great, Bergen, staff, hyggelig, cozy,

    The charm this place has is hard to beat! With a friendly staff, and a cozy interior, this really is a semi hidden gem. From the outside it may look like a tiny café, and it most certainly is, but the food is great, and I believe most of their ingredients are local. They also have good tea, and sell the art that they have hung up. I have been there multiple times, and will be going back.

    This is the best vegan place you can find in the city. If you are vegan you have few options in town but this is definitely the most secure. The food is really really good and people are just very nice.

    Beautiful restaurant close to the city center. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly. Our food did taste amazing and the prices are alright. We did get a carafe of iced water immediately and for free. Later orders might have to be placed at the bar, but you get your food fast. They do have a lot of nice vegan and vegetarian options.

    Cozy place, very good service and the food is amazing. Tried the veggie burger accompanied by Provence potatoes. Best I've had! Strongly recommend it, right in the centre of Bergen!

    I highly recommend the potato leek soup and the classic ciabatta and the brownie, all soooo good. Friendly service, nice atmosphere.

    I enjoy the atmosphere and the friendly service by explaining how they can accommodate us as vegans! Reminds me of how life was before the mobile phone and the friendly 90s atmosphere.

    Really nice service and chill place to sit outside on a nice day. We had our dog with us and the waitress brought water for him. During a time of year when it's still pretty hard to get good fresh vegetables, they did a great job with the salads! I will definitely be going back :)

  • 3/5 V. M. N. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice decor, atmosphere and really great food - healthy and tasty, all kudos to the chef! But no water despite asking for it. t The wine wasn't good at all, even for a house wine, but good apple juice. Took ages to clear tables which we were going to sit at, but no disinfecting of surfaces. No offer of dessert.

    (Translated by Google) Pygmalion is a good place in the center for lunch, dinner or a glass of wine. They have nice rooms and good staff. The menu is simple and Italian with burgers as well, and everything they serve is good. Definitely worth a trip. (Original) Pygmalion er et bra sted i sentrum både for lønsj, middag eller et glass vin. De har hyggelige lokaler og godt personale.

    The beef stir fry was awesome. Very cosy but perhaps tables a little too packed in. Obviously a popular place as it kept full with people choosing to wait for a table.

  • 3/5 Fornavn 2 years ago on Google
    Alright food for the price. We had the house specials burgers. They were a bit dry, but the potatoes with the Aioli were very good. Some reviewers who have eaten the veggie burger, describe it as vegan, but the Aioli does have egg.

  • 5/5 jaspreet p. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, peaceful environment and great customer service

  • 4/5 Jesse O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good, not spectacular experience here. Prices are relatively high; tuna salad was a highlight, vegetarian crepes were a bit stodgy, without enough filling. Aperol spritz was refreshing and service was friendly.

  • 4/5 Jonas 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, but somewhat expensive. It's not so tourist friendly: you have no way to know, but you have to get the menus, order at the cashier, and get the tap water bottle and glasses, all by yourself. It's not a problem, but it's confusing if you are not aware

  • 5/5 Aaron D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely café with very friendly staff. We had the carrot cake which can be served vegan. We also had a quick sip of Akkavit--they have a small bar with the café. Very centrally located just a block off from the fish market.

  • 4/5 Berend S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is great, nice staff good prices, the Potatoes are really good. But the vegi burger could use a little more salt or spice.

  • 4/5 Diana H. 6 years ago on Google
    Little expensive and small, so sometimes it could be hard to sit, but food is good.. :) Burger was not so freaky amazing as I expected, but on the other hand a dressing on the potatoes was very good :)

  • 5/5 Merinda H. 8 months ago on Google
    Simply the most delicious beef salad I’ve ever eaten with avocado and cashews. In the heart of Bergen near the fish market & harbour. There is indoor & outdoor seating. And a great variety of food or drinks. The lovely staff are very helpful and offer excellent service. Also the art on display is for sale. Cheers!

  • 4/5 Woon Peng Z. 9 months ago on Google
    Nicely decorated cafe and several food options. We had the beef and prawn stir-fry with rice, which were tasty. You order and pay at the counter, so little service though the staff seem friendly.

    Food with love. Delicious And one of the few places in Norway where the service is so gentle and smily

  • 5/5 Isabella D. 7 months ago on Google
    Delicious pasta. We had the lemon pasta and the scrimp pasta and they were both amazing. The cheesecake too. And the wines too! Everything of high quality. All personally advised, cooked and delivered to the table by a passionate young lady. Highly recommended!

  • 2/5 Caroline L. 5 months ago on Google
    It's a cute little place, but the chicken ciabatta munch was not good; order something else if you go.

  • 5/5 Julien C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very fine cuisine. Must-try Pygmalion pancakes with bacon, brie and avocado cream. A taste explosion. Then the chicken burger accompanied by its baked potatoes, certainly cooked in chicken fat, all prepared perfectly on the plate for a visual pleasure that is as strong as it is taste. I highly recommend !! 😍 (Original) Une cuisine très fine. Pancakes Pygmalion à tester absolument avec le bacon, le brie et la crème d'avocat. Une explosion gustative. Ensuite le burger au poulet accompagné de ses patates au four certainement cuites à la graisse de poulet le tout dressé parfaitement dans l'assiette pour un plaisir visuel tout aussi fort que gustatif. Je recommande vivement !! 😍

    (Translated by Google) Gets for good service. Cozy, warm atmosphere. Expensive food, little for the money! The bruchetta was to come with pesto and sun-dried tomato. Butter thin layer with pesto, no tomato. 100 kr. for a thin pancake with minimal ham and cheese. :( (Original) Får for god service. Koselig, varm atmosfære. Dyr mat, lite for pengene! Bruchetta skulle komme med pesto og soltørket tomat. Smørtynt lag med pesto, ingen tomat. 100 kr. for en tynn pannekake med minimalt med skinke og ost. :(
