Non-existent service and atmosphere but decent breakfast: Restaurant Bakkus @ Radisson Blu Royal Garden (11. May 2019)
The breakfast buffet at the Bakkus is a bit better than the usual Radisson Blu breakfast selection. You get a bit of everything and that to quite a large degree starting with a large variety of different breads … … and even more bread … … fresh fruit … … juices … … jams, cut […]
The Michelin starred restaurant’s little sister: Restaurant Fagn Bar & Bistro (10. May 2019)
To find a space in a Michelin starred restaurant on short notice is almost impossible. And it was actually also the case today – however, the Fagn which just got a star this year, also has a Bar & Bistro which doesn’t serve the tasting menu in the traditional sense but offers nevertheless a “five […]
A lovely bar with lovely drinks but not so lovely service: Britannia Bar (10. May 2019)
It isn’t that easy to find a decent bar in Trondheim – unless you’re looking for a pub, it really becomes a challenge. The Britannia hotel offers a nice bar called Britannia bar. You have to be a bit patient until someone ends up at your table to bring you the menu – at least […]
Delicious Norwegian dishes: Restaurant Atelier (10. May 2019)
When you don’t book in advance you’re sometimes lucky to find something and sometimes it’s hard to find a nice place. This time, I was lucky. The Atelier doesn’t sound very Norwegian, admittedly, but it turned out to serve rather local and overall very tasty dishes. I went for the “reindeer tartar with eggs, pickled […]
Delicious matjes with beetroot: Eat As Matjes As You Can @ Gladmat (21. July 2017)
While the name of the food stall is a bit funny, saying “Eat As Matjes As You Can”, the “matjes” (30 NOK) they are selling there are actually delicious. Of course, the fish itself is as good as any but the combination with the beet root and the whipped cream really makes it quite exceptional […]
Pølse are completely overestimated: Pølsebussen @ Gladmat (21. July 2017)
Somehow “Pølse” (30 NOK) is apparently quite famous in Norway – Pølse is a sausage with mustard and ketchup. Or, kind of like an American hot dog just with less stuff on it. And to be entirely honest, it wasn’t that great. I mean, sure, it was a ‘hot dog like thing’ but it was […]
26. April 2015: Espresso House
Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures or notes of the breakfast at the Espresso House (as after meeting friend from my studies in Milan 6 years ago for the first time again was quite a time for catch-up and not for pictures)! Hoeever, the concept of the Espresso House is simple – you get your […]
25. April 2015: Summit 21 Bar @ Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel
The Summit 21 Bar in the Radisson Blu Scandinavia hotel sounds absolutely promising and looks very nice on the hotel’s homepage. Again, unfortunately, it does not fully fulfil the expectations. The view from the 21st floor of the hotel is not as stunning as you would assume and the place is quite run down. Not […]
