NORWEGIAN
set menu with aperitif Nkr643; 9am-9pm May-Sep, 10am-4pm Oct-Apr)
You can drop in for a sausage sandwich (Nkr39) or a fish soup (Nkr95) at this mountain-
top restaurant any time during the day, though we suggest making an evening of it. The set
dinner menu follows the seasons and showcases west-coast produce. Dishes pop with
fresh, clean flavours and are prettily presented. Book at least one day ahead.
Colonialen Restaurant
NORWEGIAN
courses Nkr950/1350, mains Nkr435; Mon-Sat 6-11pm)
Okay, there's zip view and it's in a less-than-glamorous locale, but we can't imagine a
Michelin is far off for this Bergen fine diner. Tasting menus emphasise seafood, but can be
tailored to meat or vegetable preferences. Bold flavours are teased from amazing produce
and whimsical, but far from fey, combinations take your senses on a wonderful west-coast
journey.
Staff are delightful, from the chefs shouting 'hei' as you walk in the door, to the careful,
unpretentious way in which dishes and wines are described by waiters and sommeliers.
Wine pairings (an additional Nkr950/1250), many of them rare or naturally produced, are
generous, if absurdly expensive for non-Norwegians.
Hanne på Høyden
NORWEGIAN
3/4/6 courses Nkr585/665/845)
It's easy to love this 19th-century shopfront restaurant, with pots of herbs lining the en-
trance lane and vegetables sprouting in the courtyard. Set menus make the best use of local
produce, be it line-caught seafood or organic meat from the Hardanger. Dishes are innovat-
ive but also deeply infused with Norwegian tradition; think flavour not fuss.
