Baklandet Skydsstation
An old café in an 18th-century wooden house, serving Norwegian home-cooked dishes like potato dumplings and herring platters, close to the Old Town Bridge.
Housed in an 18th-century wooden building in the historic Bakklandet neighborhood, close to the Old Town Bridge (Gamle Bybro) and the Trampe Bicycle Lift, this spot is described by Visit Trondheim as the coziest café in town. It serves home-cooked dishes such as potato dumplings, Norwegian meatballs, fish soup, and reindeer stew. Its herring platters and aquavit selection are also famous, and the homemade hot chocolate is equally popular. It was once named Café of the Year by National Geographic and has been featured in Lonely Planet. Some reviews note that service can be slow, so it is best to allow plenty of time for your meal.
