Bergen’s best dining combines spectacular views with Norway’s finest seafood. The standout experience is a 30-minute helicopter dining tour – it’s pricey but unforgettable, pairing gourmet seafood with aerial views of the majestic fjords. We love the private fjord cruise and dinner combo, which takes you past Bergen’s historic waterfront before stopping at Cornelius Restaurant. The seafood here is so fresh, it practically swims to your plate. Both tours perfectly blend Bergen’s natural wonders with its celebrated cuisine.
