Fjellskål Seafood Restaurant

I was glad that we chose this restaurant for the last dinner of Norway. I only wanted to eat seafood in Norway, and I would like to finish our last dinner with seafood. We made the right choice. It’s a nice seafood restaurant with the Bryggen view. We ordered mussels, shellfish soup, grilled flounder & brown cheese dessert, and all tasted great. Shellfish soup is little salty & thick for us, but it was still good. Service was also great. Only thing, 3 male adult guests on the next table watching the video on their phone pretty loud. (Again, no kids only adults were at the table) I was very annoyed with it since I don’t come from that type of culture. If it’s family restaurant or fast food, I might not care so much, but I didn’t expect this type of customers’ behavior at these restaurants. Any servers, hostess/host didn’t tell them anything. I guess that is acceptable in Norway. Or I should have told our server. Other than that experience, we had a good time.

We wanted to try some seafood while we were in Norway and this place seemed to have the perfect combination of a great menu and amazing views. They have a tremendous number of starters to choose from, so we sampled several of them, including the smoked salmon, crab legs, caviar, and a delicious salad. We also each had a scallop, which could be the best scallop I’ve ever eaten in my life! The desserts were also quite tasty! The servers work as a team, and each one of them was friendly, efficient, and pleasant to talk to. Truly, an outstanding dining experience!

It's literally one of the most typical restaurants in Bergen, at the heart of the fish market. There you can find the best quality local food and try all Norwegian and Nordic ailments in a luxury and comfortable atmosphere.

Ate here twice, in a week. Professional staff, except some younger ones. Fantastic fjord shrimp. Other sea food also delicious but just a notch below the freshest you can have. Fish soup totally below bar and thickened with flour, watery also. We never finished the soup. Great wine selection. Horrible toilets that you use outside. Overall still a great place to have fresh seafood.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the Fjellskal Seafood Restaurant in Bergen, Norway. This restaurant, located right on the marina in Bergen, offers a stylish setting with large glass windows and a covered heated terrace that lets you enjoy the view of the harbor up close. The welcome was very professional, and the whole place feels a step above many of the more casual spots nearby. We tried whale steak – quite an interesting experience, with a flavor somewhat reminiscent of horse meat – as well as fish soup and crayfish. Everything was well prepared, quickly served, and reasonably priced considering the quality and the location. The overall atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it a great choice if you are looking for something more refined than the lively fish market restaurants nearby. I would especially recommend it to those who appreciate comfort, attentive service, and regional specialties in a beautiful setting.
