Restaurants in Trondheim

  1. A

    Havfruen

    This elegant riverside restaurant specialises in the freshest of fish. The quality, reflected in the prices, is excellent, as are the accompanying wines. The short menu, from which you select between three and eight courses, changes regularly ­according to what’s hauled from the seas.

    Sushi Bar

    The name says it all; the house speciality is sushi in multifarious forms. To savour the flavours, go for the 16-item sushi moriawase selection (Nkr198). It also does takeaway.

    Dromedar, Nørdre gate

    Dromedar, Nørdre gate, This longstanding local self-service favourite serves light dishes and very good coffee indeed, in all sizes, squeezes and strengths. Inside is cramped so, if the weather permits, relax on the exterior terrace bordering the cobbled street. There's a second branch (%73 50 25 02; Nedre Bakklandet 3), similar in style, also with a street-side terrace, that serves equally aromatic coffee.

    Vertshuset Tavern

    Once in the heart of Trondheim, this historic (1739) tavern was lifted and transported, every last plank of it, to the Sverresborg Trøndelag Folk Museum. Tuck into its rotating specials of traditional Norwegian fare or just peck at waffles with coffee in one of its 16 tiny rooms, each low-beamed, with sloping floors, candlesticks, cast iron stoves and lacy tablecloths.

    Ramp

    Well off the tourist route and patronised by in-the-know locals, friendly, alternative Ramp, both bar and restaurant, gets its raw materials, organic where possible, from local sources (its veg man, for example, calls by each morning). It’s renowned for its juicy house burgers (Nkr100) filled with lamb, beef, fish or chickpeas.

    Baklandet Skydsstasjon

    Within what began life as an 18th-century coaching inn are several cosy rooms with poky angles and listing floors. It’s a hyperfriendly place where you can tuck into tasty mains, such as its renowned bacalao (cod stew or fish soup) for Nkr145, while always leaving a cranny for a gooey homemade cake (around Nkr50).

    Ørens Kro

    This characterful bar and restaurant was once a boat repair workshop. Tools of its former trade are arranged around the walls while part of the large external terrace straddles a former slipway, its rusting pulleys and hawsers still taut below. The menu’s Norwegian and mainly fish, as befits its long waterside history.

    Chablis

    The Chablis is beside the river, indeed, part of it’s on the water; reserve a table on its floating pontoon. Alternatively, the interior of this brasserie-style place is light and appealing and from the kitchen emerge the most delightful dishes, both Norwegian and international.

    Grønn Pepper

    Bright Mexican blankets and – ’fraid so – sombreros add colour and life to the Pepper’s architecturally staid interior. The food’s Tex-Mex and you can slam down a tequila or two. Monday’s special is four tacos with rice and salad (Nkr120).

    Credo

    There’s no need for a formal à la carte menu at this adventurous Spanish-influenced world-cuisine spot – the chef chooses the day’s best items and serves them up in fine style. There’s also a trendy bar upstairs.

    Emilies

    The menu, carefully selected and constantly changing to reflect what’s available locally, couldn’t be shorter or sweeter at this sophisticated restaurant, its table linen and furniture an essay in contrasting blacks and whites.

    Bare Blåbær

    Join the throng that packs both the interior and dockside terrace of this popular place. It’s renowned for preparing the finest pizzas in town, including the intriguing chili bollocks – presumably a wintertime special.

    Benitos/Zia Teresa

    At these two related restaurants – fancy Italian trattoria and informal pizza and pasta joint – the gregarious, extrovert owner bears a striking resemblance to the late Luciano Pavarotti and may well burst into an aria.

    To Rom Og Kjøkken

    At Two Rooms & a Kitchen, service is friendly, the ambience, with original, changing artwork on the walls, is bright and brisk, and prices are reasonable. Vegetables and meat are sourced locally, wherever feasible.

    Café Ni Muser

    For inexpensive light meals and an arty crowd, go to the café at the Trondheim Art Museum. On sunny afternoons, the outdoor terrace turns into a beer garden.

    Persilleriet

    This tiny lunchtime-only box of a place does tasty vegetarian fare, to eat in or take away.
