A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular

At the heart of the city’s waterfront, Bergen Fish Market is one of Norway’s most iconic food destinations. Trading seafood since the 1200s, it remains a lively meeting place where locals and visitors gather to experience the very best of the coast. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of traditional and seasonal seafood, selected according to what’s freshest on the day. Depending on the season, this may include delicate salmon, sweet prawns, succulent crab or other local specialities straight from the fjords and North Sea. As you sample, you’ll learn why seafood has shaped Norway’s culture, economy and daily life for centuries. With its long coastline, cold clean waters and generations of fishing heritage, Norway has built its identity around the sea. From preserving fish for winter survival in the past to today’s world-renowned seafood exports, the ocean has always been central to life here. This first stop offers not just a taste of Norway, but an introduction to the story behind it.

Fjåk focuses on quality cacao combined with local flavours, creating bars that highlight ingredients such as wild berries, sea salt and other elements inspired by the Norwegian landscape. During our visit, you’ll taste a unique twist on a national favourite: brown cheese served in cheesecake form — a modern take on one of Norway’s most iconic flavours. You’ll also sample Fjåk’s handcrafted chocolate, learning about the production process and what sets this local brand apart on the international stage. This stop is where tradition meets innovation — and where Norway’s flavours take on a sweeter form.
