Wesselstuen

Fish soup and Norwegian favourites - Traditional Norwegian food in Bergen

Wesselstuen is one of Bergen's most traditional restaurants and has long been a favourite haunt of Bergen's cultural figures. The restaurant first opened in 1957 and underwent an extensive renovation in 2025, without changing its concept - Wesselstuen is still the same classic venue, just in an upgraded version. Located at Ole Bulls plass in the heart of Bergen, Wesselstuen is known for its warm, intimate atmosphere and classic Norwegian cuisine. It has always been, and still remains, a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike.
