What's on in Bergen on a Saturday?

You walk through the heavy glass doors and leave the city's busy shopping streets, the Fish Market, the harbour and the historic neighbourhoods outside. Inside, you lift my gaze to the soaring ceiling, and take in the frescoes, arches and the massive glass bar. Ice cubes are shaken, a champagne cork pops. Music rhythms pulsate. A waiter swings past you with Pacific oysters and burgers on a platter. It's still early afternoon, but you can already feel the big city vibe. Ready for good conversations, ready to have fun. This is Fresco Saturday Live. This is Frescohallen!

Following the success of the first time it was hosted, the musical lunch has now become a regular happening every Saturday from 15:00 to 18:00. Enjoy live music by the Morten Færestrand Trio, while tasting delicious dishes and maybe sipping a mimosa or two.
