Café Opera

Bergen


A stalwart of Bergen's cafe scene for decades, this is an attractive twin-floored space that's pleasantly set back from the harbour hustle. By day it's a place to hang over sandwiches, coffee and cake; after dark it slips into a slinkier mode for cocktails, folky gigs and DJs. The pavement tables are lovely on a sunny day.
