If you are looking for a different kind of food experience, Bergen has a lot to offer. Why not combine an unforgettable boat trip along the coast with an excellent dining experience at Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri, run by Bocuse d’Or 2015 winner Ørjan Johannesen? The boat trip takes you through the stunning landscape of hundreds of islands and archipelagos south of Bergen, to the small town of Bekkjarvik, on the island of Austevoll. The restaurant at Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri is rated in The White Guide’s “The Best Restaurants in the Nordic” and offers exquisite food with fresh local ingredients.
