Our culinary philosophy

The Fjordic Experience

De Bergenske's unique concept takes guests on a culinary journey through the ingredients, flavours and stories of the Norwegian fjords – from sea to high mountains, from tradition to innovation.

The origins of Bergen's restaurant history

In the basement of Bergen Børs, the city's very first restaurant opened its doors more than a century ago. Today, De Bergenske carries on this tradition – with a focus on good ingredients, memorable dining experiences and a deep respect for history.

It's more than a meal. It's a taste of Western Norway, a taste of the rhythm of nature, a taste of craftsmanship and a future of which we can be proud.

- Kjetil Smørås - CEO of De Bergenske

From sea to table

We bring the best flavours of the sea straight to the table – with fresh, sustainable ingredients from the coast of Western Norway, prepared with respect for both the sea and the food and served with the highest level of service.
