Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords


You'll struggle to find dinner in Rosendal, so be glad there's a great restaurant at the Rosendal Turisthotell. The menu changes regularly, but fish, meat and game, partnered with locally grown fruit and veg, all feature heavily. There are usually a couple of mains options for dinner, with a simpler lunch menu of meatballs, fish quenelles and the like.

On Friday and Saturday nights, the basement wine bar opens until 1am.
