Cornelius Sjømatrestaurant

We arrived with our own boat without a reservation. Lucky us, we had a very welcoming arrival and everyone made an effort to squeeze us in. The five course tasting menu was a real treat. We had a tour of the impressive wine cellar and the enormous selection made it very easy to find our match for the evening. The whole team was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks 🙏🏻 for a great dinner experience,👍🏻.

Lovely food, and amazing service. The setting is absolutely stunning and they put you at ease very quickly. Staff are superb and the owner was very charismatic. Only thing that I would say was a downside was whale being served but this is a personal preference. Highly recommend if you love seafood

The experience here is so wonderful. The food was absolutely amazing and our waiter Marian was the nicest most exuberant guy! He loved the sea and told us lots of places to go and facts about the food. He made the experience all the better for it. I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant, it is well worth it and will be a memory my husband and I look back on fondly for a long time.

Was a bit hesitant to book a reservation because I had seen so many mixed reviews, but I am SO glad I did! I booked a lunch reservation for 5, and to my surprise, there was only one other couple that had joined us for our experience. The boat ride in itself was an experience, but when we got there, we were absolutely blown away. When you get there, you are warmly greeted by the staff. Our server was an amazing girl named Paula (spell-check), who made sure we were happy during our entire time there. The owner introduced himself to us and told us to explore the property, which had breathtaking views. The food itself was amazing. Since we did the lunch, we had a sharing experience. First they brought bread, which would’ve been sufficient enough in itself, it was delicious! Our next course was a fish soup. Then, they brought out the cold tower, and everything on it tasted so fresh and delicious. It was more than enough for our party of 5. We had no idea we would also be getting mussels still before dessert, and honestly couldn’t even finish everything because there was so much food. By the time we got our dessert we were absolutely stuffed, but it was amazing! While we were there, we got to see the owner diving for sea urchins that they would be serving. Once he got back, he even let all of us try some fresh sea urchin that he had just caught. If we had booked a dinner experience (owner said that they were expecting 200 people for dinner on the day that we went), I don’t think that we would have gotten the same personal and intimate experience that we got for our lunch. Overall such a great experience that I would recommend to anyone that visits Bergen.

Absolute must do if you’re here! We loved every dish and the views were stunning. Staff was incredible also! Do the wine pairing you won’t regret it!
