Bryggeloftet & Stuene
Another Bryggen favourite for traditional Norwegian fare, this restaurant dates to the early 19th century, which is plenty of time to master the art of cooking reindeer, wolf-fish and lutefisk (dried whitefish).

Bryggen Tracteursted
This is one of the great Bryggen eating experiences. Housed in a 1708 building that ranges across the former stables, kitchen (note the stone floor, which meant that it was the only Bryggen building allowed to have a fire) and Bergen's only extant schøtstuene (dining hall), this fine restaurant does fish soup, steamed mussels and a selection of Norwegian tapas. The food's good, but the atmosphere is the major drawcard.

Finnegaards Stuene
Part of the magnificent Det Hanseatiske Hotel, this high-class restaurant combines traditional local dishes with the evocative architecture of 18th-century Bryggen.
-
Lido
Lido is an inexpensive cafeteria with good traditional grub. Its budget credentials get battered by the charge to go to the toilet, but it's nonetheless a good place for simple but hearty local food.
-
Naboen
Although the cook does a range of Norwegian dishes here, Naboen is best known for its Swedish specialties, such as Swedish meatballs or the fillet of hare.
-
Pingvinen
Devoted to small-town Norwegian cooking and with a delightfully informal ambience, Pingvinen is terrific. Expect large servings of reindeer, elk, lamb and local fish but without the usual price tag and it's always obligatory to pay homage to Alma, the 'goddess chef'. As the night wears on and Alma heads home, the snacks menu comes out.
-
Wesselstuen
The richly decorated Wesselstuen evokes the wood-panelled dining halls of Bergen's past and is well-known as the restaurant of choice for Bergen's intellectuals. The sirloin of reindeer is excellent.
