Activity itinerary

Fish Market

30m
Admission ticket included

At the heart of the city’s waterfront, Bergen Fish Market is one of Norway’s most iconic food destinations. Trading seafood since the 1200s, it remains a lively meeting place where locals and visitors gather to experience the very best of the coast. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of traditional and seasonal seafood, selected according to what’s freshest on the day. Depending on the season, this may include delicate salmon, sweet prawns, succulent crab or other local specialities straight from the fjords and North Sea. As you sample, you’ll learn why seafood has shaped Norway’s culture, economy and daily life for centuries. With its long coastline, cold clean waters and generations of fishing heritage, Norway has built its identity around the sea. From preserving fish for winter survival in the past to today’s world-renowned seafood exports, the ocean has always been central to life here. This first stop offers not just a taste of Norway, but an introduction to the story behind it.

The Telegraph

30m
Admission ticket included

Step into one of Bergen’s most beloved historic bakeries and discover how bread and baking have shaped the city’s story. Baker Brun has been serving locals for generations, and its long-standing traditions make it a true institution in Bergen’s food culture. Here, you’ll learn about the city’s rich baking heritage and the lasting influence of the Hanseatic League, the powerful medieval trading network that connected Bergen to continental Europe. Through these trade routes came spices, grains and baking techniques that helped shape many of the sweet buns and pastries still enjoyed today. During our visit, you’ll taste two of Bergen’s most traditional buns, freshly baked and deeply rooted in local custom. As you enjoy them, you’ll hear how these simple yet iconic treats became everyday favourites, linking modern Bergen to its Hanseatic past. This stop offers more than something sweet – it’s a warm, fragrant glimpse into the city’s history.

Kiwi Allehelgensgate

30m
Admission ticket included

To truly understand how Norwegians eat, you need to step inside an ordinary supermarket. This stop offers a glimpse into everyday food culture — the products locals buy each week and the flavours that define daily life beyond restaurants and cafés. Here, you’ll be introduced to traditional staples that are rarely featured on restaurant menus but are essential to Norwegian homes. From brown cheese and crispbread to cured meats and other classic pantry favourites, you’ll discover ingredients that reflect Norway’s farming traditions, preservation methods and love of simple, honest food. As we walk the aisles, you’ll learn how climate, geography and history have shaped what ends up in a typical Norwegian shopping basket. This stop reveals the practical side of local cuisine — the foods people grow up with, pack in their lunches and serve at family gatherings.

Fjåk x Kode museum, Bergen

30m
Admission ticket included

Our fourth stop brings us to Fjåk at KODE, home to one of Norway’s most celebrated chocolate makers. Fjåk is an award-winning, bean-to-bar producer known for crafting chocolate in small batches and incorporating distinctive Nordic ingredients into their creations. Here, you’ll discover how chocolate can reflect place just as much as seafood or baking. Fjåk focuses on quality cacao combined with local flavours, creating bars that highlight ingredients such as wild berries, sea salt and other elements inspired by the Norwegian landscape. During our visit, you’ll taste a unique twist on a national favourite: brown cheese served in cheesecake form — a modern take on one of Norway’s most iconic flavours. You’ll also sample Fjåk’s handcrafted chocolate, learning about the production process and what sets this local brand apart on the international stage. This stop is where tradition meets innovation — and where Norway’s flavours take on a sweeter form.

Fløirestauranten

30m
Admission ticket included

At the summit of Mount Fløyen, Fløirestauranten has welcomed guests for more than a century. Overlooking Bergen and the surrounding fjords, it provides a fitting setting for the grand finale of the tour. Here, we sit down to a generous seasonal feast showcasing both meat and fish dishes, with a menu that changes throughout the year to reflect the best available local produce. The kitchen highlights ingredients from the region — celebrating the flavours of the fjords, farms and forests in carefully prepared, comforting plates. You’ll also enjoy a meat and cheese platter sourced from local farmers, offering a taste of Norway’s proud agricultural traditions. The experience is paired with local apple cider, a refreshing nod to Western Norway’s growing cider culture. With sweeping views, historic surroundings and a table full of regional specialities, this final stop brings together the flavours and stories of Bergen in one memorable meal.
