Bryggeloftet & Stuene
A century-old family-run institution on the Bryggen wharf, famous for its Bergen fish soup and harbor views, highly regarded by both travelers and locals.
Bryggeloftet & Stuene is located at Bryggen 11 on the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf. It has been run by the same family since 1910. The upstairs dining room (Bryggeloftet) is more highly recommended than the ground floor, with window tables offering views over the harbor. The signature dish is the Bergen fish soup, served with fishballs, shrimp, and vegetables (199 NOK as an appetizer), alongside shrimp sandwiches (299 NOK), pan-fried halibut (585 NOK), and reindeer steak. Salted meat with potato dumplings is served on Thursday afternoons, and lutefisk is highly sought after in November and December. Booking a few days in advance is highly recommended, especially during the festive season.
