Bergen's coffee crowd has been well served by this upmarket cafe for more than a decade now, and it's still the place to go for top-notch flat whites and pour-overs. It's a smart combo of tiles, steel and minimalism.

EPIC hot dog stand in downtown Bergen! They serve hot dogs of literally almost any meat types you can think of. Oh and the biggest hot dogs are so big that they can be shared! You also get free «saft» (mixed juice) to go with it.

Cafe Opera is a legendary restaurant / cafe which serves both lunch and dinner meals. Prices are reasonable, and they often arrange fun dj events in the weekends.
I also highly recommend combining this place with grabbing a few more beers across the street afterwards at Henrik’s (located right above the Deli Deluca store)

Getting around in Bergen
Generally, the easiest way to get around in Bergen is to either take the Light Rail (Bybanen) or the local buss. You can use the same ticket on both (90 minutes), and I recommend buying tickets in the “Skyss Billett” app at least 2-3 min prior to using the transportation.
