Hot dogs on the go. Made by a local butcher, and very good quality! We love the Lamwurst (lamb) and Reinsdyr (reindeer) and prefer it served in lompe - a traditional thin tortilla-style thing made out of potatoe. Don't forget to get the complimentary glass of saft (squash). Open until 5am, så lots of people go here to grab a hot dog on their way home from the pub.

The best place to be in Bergen on a sunny day. Good food and good beer. Verftet also houses several local artists, and has a lively concert scene. Lots of people come here to go swimming and hang out in the summer. We also love sitting inside looking out on the fjord on rainy days.

Sightseeing

Traditional Bryggen, Bergens Unesco world heritage site. Walk among the old wooden buildings, once used by the Hansa-traders who had their had their offices here for 400 years. Bryggen is still in active use, and houses offices, workshops, shops, cafes and restaurants. We often go to the cafe Bastant in one of the small alleys. A great way to visit a World Heritage site
