The best seafood restaurants Norway

Although the name of the restaurant does not sound very refined, don't be fooled: this highly gourmet restaurant promises you an unforgettable time with its delicious bacalaos and its breathtaking view of Ålesund. The restaurant has been named Europe's best bacalao restaurant several times! A true fusion cuisine between Portugal and Norway, the results are amazing. You should absolutely choose the tasting menu: the Royal bacalao plate. Otherwise, opt for the klippefisk or the fiskesuppe. Reservation required!

Svang opened in 2018 and is one of the best restaurants in town! Fish takes pride of place, especially those caught locally the day or the day before. Vegetables are also sourced from nearby farms wherever possible, and the restaurant is ethically conscious overall. The dishes are very well presented and the flavors blend particularly well. It also doubles as a wine bar. A great success!

This architectural feat designed by the Norwegian firm Snøhetta is absolutely unique! It is an underwater restaurant, the first in Europe. You can recognize it thanks to its head that emerges from the water. The atmosphere and the decor are futuristic, while remaining sober. Inside, the immersion five meters under the surface of the water is total. With a Michelin star, the chef Nicolai Ellitsgaard Pedersen serves fish and seafood with seaweed harvested under the restaurant. It is imperative to book several months in advance.

Located on a small island in front of the Bygdøy peninsula, this restaurant, which opened in 1929, offers a unique experience! In the heart of the fjord, taste the best of the sea's products and specialities in an idyllic setting. The boat ride to the restaurant is an integral part of the tour. Departure from Herbernveien every quarter of an hour. The food is good, from fish and chips to the fish of the day, vegetarian dishes and hamburgers. Children's menus are also available for NOK 135. The dessert of fresh berries with a vanilla ball is great!

The fish market of the port offers you fresh products, cooked on the spot ! Choose from the à la carte dishes, a menu, or select your fish directly from the stall for a personalised dish! Fish soup, fish and chips with their own tempura batter, mussels in white wine, a selection of three types of fish with or without shellfish... in short, something for the eyes and the taste buds. Then sit back and enjoy the view of the fjord through the glass windows of the kiosk.

Cornelius Seafood Restaurant is a unique and popular culinary destination on the northwest coast of Bjoroy Island, with spectacular views of the fjord and islands near Bergen. Their Meteorological menus are inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding fjords. Many raw-food proposals. The menus mostly include the boat trip there and back. Going to eat there is quite an experience, as you usually spend the whole day there. It is a way to discover the fjords in a different way, while enjoying yourself!

Engel Bay, with this restaurant on the quay, is a very popular destination for seafood excursions. For starters we can only recommend their fish soup, which is one of their specialities. That said, the langoustines accompanied by fennel salad compete well with it. For the main course, there is little choice but perfect: breaded trout with parmesan chips and vegetables, baked halibut with a vegetable and bacon purée or a meat dish. A children's menu that will satisfy many with its sausage and chips!
