Bien

Bergen


Easily accessible by tram to Danemarks pass, and handy if you're driving in or out of town, this restaurant and bar is a true locals' haunt. A former pharmacy, the 1930s shop fittings remain entirely intact and are stunning. The menu is short and comforting: famous ragu Bolognese, fish or meat done simply, but with flair and excellent produce.
