Colonialen Matbar

Poor, uninspired. Impossible to get a wine list in advance (first attempt without getting any response, second without getting a list, or reason for not getting one). ...which would have been fine if we didn't spend 3000 on wine that was served at the wrong temperature, with a decanter that didn't fit in the bucket, making it quite hard to cool. No question asked us about either wine or food the whole evening. Food was mediocre, too salty and far too expensive for what it was. They do have some good bottles, but seriously, your time is better spent elsewhere.

This is a brilliant wine bar which reminds me of the new generationof Antipodean-led wine bars of London - very knowledgeable staff pouring a great variety of modern wines, including natural and low intervention. Bar food is fantastic and really well priced. If you are looking for a first rate wine bar with some excellent food - this is it.

High quality. Nice interior. Professional staff. Great food. Nothing more to add. If you get the chance, start the evening at Colonialen matvaren for an aperitiff!

Correct restaurant in Bergen. The decoration is warm. The dishes are well presented. The service is nice. Food it is good but nothing outstanding. Good value.

This was our choice for datenight, and it delivered. The waitress was outstanding. Walked us through the menu and all the dishes. The food was excellent, period. As a beer man, this is the first time I experienced that a beer went ordinary to excellent with the food. For or a good meal or datenight, this is the place.

One of the best meals I’ve had. Local ingredients, superb preparation and presentation, friendly and informed service without being over the top.

We were glad to have tried this restaurant during our short trip. Pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavors and innovative cooking with every course. You have to get the 4-course meal, there is no à la carte during dinnertime (not sure about lunch). As expensive as food gets in Bergen, we thought this was a meal that actually made sense for the money we paid. While I am not a fan of desserts, that pumpkin cake really ended the meal fantastically.

I am so glad we splurged for the 9 course tasting menu and wine pairing! The service was outstanding, the food was fresh and innovative, and the wine was exquisitely paired. My favorite part of the meal was the custom scent designed to smell like Bergen... They give you a scent souvenir after your meal! I think it is only a matter of time before this place gets a Michelin star!
