    (Translated by Google) Steer away. Tiny portions at full price. Slow and casual service and you have to ask 4 times to water to the table. For the crunchy little main course I got after 40 minutes, bread was ordered, but after a lot of hustle and bustle from us, we were told that they were empty of bread. (Original) Styr unna. Bittesmå porsjoner til full pris. Treg og tilfeldig service og du må spørre 4 ganger om å vann til bordet. Til den knøtt lille hovedretter jeg fikk etter 40 minutter var det bestilt brød, men etter mye mas fra oss fikk vi beskjed at de var tomme for brød.

    Nice bar restaurant that is slightly hidden. We ordered 5 of their warm tapas to share and most were delicious. My favourites were the fish plates - plukkfisk and local fish with potato puree and rosette cabbage. The salted lamb with flatbread and kale was really good as well! On the negative note, the service was a bit slow and we felt neglected at times - we had to wait 15 mins to get served water and the menus. I guess it was partly because we were given a less visible table from the bar but still, it was a flaw to the whole experience. However, the service did get faster and more attentive after we ordered our food. The waiter also explained the dishes well which kind of rescued the experience. Overall, a nice relaxed restaurant with good food. I'd recommend this to my friends for sure.

    It‘s good, no doubt about it, but there are little things you could improve. The food itself was very interesting and if you want some traditional Norwegian gourmet food, this is the place for you. I had the 6 course menu and there was one dish that was just quite risky to serve. Frankly I didn‘t like it, but I guess that‘s my personal tastebuds judging the food. The food did take quite a while but the waiter politely informed us that it was quite busy and that the food would come soon, so that‘s nice. The weirdest thing though was the music being played throughout the restaurant was just plain rap music from some radio. Kind of ruined the whole atmosphere, I think no music would do fine because the place was buzzing. It‘s down to you if you want to pay the 100$ for the 6 course menu, it‘s worth it and delicious, I still highly recommend this place.

    We had the 6 course sharing menu which was amazing... Each of the tapas sized meals comes as a double portion. Home made soda bread is also served alongside so you can eat as much or as little as you like. We found the portion sizes perfect. We did not book a table (Thursday evening) but the restaurant was full, so perhaps at the weekend you would need to book. We spent around 3 hours there and did not feel at all rushed. A wonderful evening and the perfect 'taste of Norway'

    The best dinner we had during our stay in Bergen. We decided on the 6 course menu and every course was stunning. This was an amazing way to discover local specialities in a beautiful setting. Bare Vestland also offers an extensive choice of local ales and ciders. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The place is a bit more on the pricy side buy worth every penny.

    I was a bit excited to try this hidden gem in Bergen on 3rd floor of hotel børs and I can say I was a bit disappointed with most of the dishes. The service was great in my opinion, but none of the dishes gave me a "wow" effect. We did a 10 course meal plus the wine package that cost a little over 5000kr which is quite on a high side in Bergen to get disappointed on the dishes. Most of the dishes was sea food which unfortunately had too much sauce or sauce being added to it that overwhelmed them. And some of the sauces was a bit on the salty side. For that reason, am Giving it a 3 star. Ambience was great though.

    Cute tapas style restaurant. We missed out the first time we walked in because we didn’t have a reservation so the second time we went ahead and called one in. We ordered 4 coarse meal for 2 which was plenty of food for us. Each coarse was good. Waiter came out and explained each dish for us. Lightly smoked fish was my favorite.

    Run of the mill michelin restaurant. Great fresh and local ingredients and everything was well prepared. Somewhat boring though, only found the dessert innovative and out of the ordinary. The wine meny was good. Tiny portions like it is usually the case for this type of restaurant. We asked if we could have more bread (we noticed they left the spent bread plates with bread crumbs on the table during the first 4 courses) but the waiter said he would have to ask the kitchen if this was possible?! We never heard from him again and the plates with crumbs were only removed before dessert. Why even leave these spent plates if you can only have one small serving of bread? In my opinion this restaurant is more form over substance, but I usually come to the conclusion I prefer restaurants with the plate or the bib gourmand over the starred ones. So if you prefer the starred ones, this is probably the place for you. Service was overall kind and friendly. They did also serve some nice amuse-bouche before dinner and some nice petit fours post dinner. I give a small 5 stars.

    Incredible experience with the 6 course tasting menu here. Service was impeccable, the food was absolutely stellar, and the setting was industrial and very pleasant. One of the best dining experiences I've had in Norway.

  • 4/5 Steven S. 4 years ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Great food and service but the start of it was a bit awkward. First of all, I waited for a good 5-10 mins at the host table without anyone acknowledging me, I had to walk in and tried to grab someone’s attention, even so it took them another minute or two to react. And then I was directed to the bar area for a drink and a starter. Continued by the dining room... the various courses were great and the service “dance” was better than acceptable.

    Amazing service, amazing food, great selection of beer. Our waitress was thoughful and made sure we had everything we needed. The plates were nicely presented and tasty. The bread and butter were so good, it made me wonder why other restaurants bother serving mediocre bread for free instead of charging for good bread and wonderful butter. I had 2 very different and very tasty IPAs on tap, lots of other beers ans wines yontry, so many reasons to come back. A must stop for anyone in town looking for good food and drinks.

    Simple solid honest and local food. The atmosphere is raw and relaxed. The 6 course dinner was off the menu, so we went with blue mussels and burgers plus a simple dessert to share. And I got the Ægir draft beer from Flåm.

  • 3/5 Michael C. 3 years ago on Google
    THE HIGH-CEILINGED BAR was the highlight for me, featuring walls of illuminated liquor bottles and mirrors meant to foreshadow an outstanding meal. But alas the food fell short of expectations and left little impression, while the dining space proved too austere and chill for a January night. The service was highly professional and welcoming.

  • 4/5 윤혜민 4 years ago on Google
    Staffs were kind They were recommended everything for me and explained about the food in detail. The food(chicken) taste was good but a little bit sour for me and the bread and butter were served by the time I finished eating main dish so I couldn’t eat much because I was already full.

    We did the chef food and beer pairing. AWESOME! Great fun, great way to try different foods and beer. This is a professional kitchen with professional kitchen staff. Service was norm for this region. Bit slow and not over the top. Food and beer pairing more then made up.
