In-Depth Information
Once in the heart of Trondheim, this historic (1739) tavern was lifted and transported,
every last plank of it, to the Sverresborg Trøndelag Folkemuseum on the outskirts of town.
Tuck into its rotating specials of traditional Norwegian fare or just graze on waffles with
coffee in one of its 16 tiny rooms, each low-beamed, with sloping floors, candlesticks,
cast-iron stoves and lacy tablecloths.

This character-filled riverside restaurant, all odd-angled pillars and rickety beams, special-
ises in the freshest of fish. The quality, reflected in the prices, is excellent, as are the ac-
companying wines, selected by the resident sommelier. The short menu changes regularly
according to what's hauled in from the seas. The attached bar next door is less formal.

Nkr285-365; 4pm-1am Mon-Thu, 4pm-2am Fri & Sat)
At Two Rooms & a Kitchen, service is friendly. The ambience, with original, changing art-
work on the walls, is bright and brisk, and dishes range from riesling-poached salmon to
pan-fried monkfish. Ingredients are sourced locally, wherever feasible. For a sample of its
subtle cuisine with a less formidable price tag, savour its daily bar special (Nkr169).
Drinking & Nightlife
As a student town, Trondheim offers lots of through-the-night life. The free papers,
Natt &
Dag
and
Plan B,
have listings, mostly in Norwegian. Solsiden (Sunnyside) is Trondheim's
trendiest leisure zone. A whole wharf-side of bars and restaurants nestles beneath smart
new apartment blocks, converted warehouses and long-idle cranes.
There's a cluster of nightclubs at the northern end of Nordre gate.
