The bar in the hotel Bergen Børs is exceptional.  We had a wonderful evening tasting all the snacks on the menu (yes, all of them in the end !), soaked up the surroundings and enjoyed the outstanding cocktails mixed by Frank, who is something of a magician when it comes to cocktails!  We were made to feel wonderfully welcome by Jack who was such good company and great to chat to, covering many topics including spiders, horses, penguins, history and travels :)

We will definitely return and very much hope to find both Frank and Jack there !

Note: the restaurant is no longer located in the hotel

We had an amazing full Tasting menu here and impeccable service. The food is mind blowing- extremely well thought out, perfectly made and arranged. From the very start of the snacks inside of the stunning bar, to the Tasting menu inside of the beautiful dining room everything was a symphony of service and food. As it is with tasting menus it’s hard to describe it in detail. So the best way do describe it is “innovative & delicious”.  Having had a good selection of dining experience like this across the world, I simply don’t understand why Bare has “only” one Michelin Star. It deserves at least two.  As a side note - we had the non alcoholic drink pairing (a first for me) and I highly recommend that. It was innovative, truly matched the dishes and it was delicious!

Great experience of Japanese - Norway fusion.
Fabulous menu and good wine pairing.
Point for improvement - to add good Italian coffee (espresso, macchiato, cappuccino)

We had shorter tasting menu in 07/2022, food was great and wine pairing superb, service was friendly and not too formal, they even send some Finns from kitchen to serve us some of plates. Only "downside" was, i needed to ask few times non-sparkling wines, as they forgot it, but fixed it with smile on face.
