  • 1. Bjørk

    $$$

    This chic, modern café-restaurant is popular for its sunny terrace and straightforward food that always hits the mark—think juicy marinated jumbo shrimp, lobster soup, and a large selection of pizzas served hot from a wood-fired oven. It's an equally good stop for lunch, dinner, or an afternoon coffee with a delicious dessert.

Wildly popular among both locals and travelers, Børsen Spiseri serves dishes ranging from stockfish to pinnekjøtt (cured lamb and sheep ribs associated with the winter holidays).

  • 6. Havfruen

    $$$

    The long-running Mermaid is Trondheim's best known and most reliably cozy fish restaurant, located in one of the colorful historic buildings along the Nidelva River. The interior is surprisingly modern, reminiscent of the New Nordic design you will see across parts of Scandinavia. The restaurant excels at seafood dishes, which change seasonally using locally sourced ingredients, and the wine list is extensive.

  • 7. Himmel og Havn

    $$$

    As the name translates, "Heaven and Harbor" play lead roles in the spirit of this restaurant in the village of Ballstad. Sitting on a dock moored with fishing boats, the harbor is right outside, and as picturesque as they come. Heaven attempts to shine through the bright, impressionistic artwork on the walls, the charmingly worn wood tables and floors, and a menu inspired by grandma's recipes. As good as the carrot cake and apple pie are, the highlight is the house bacalao, a spicy stew made with salted cod. In summer, the dining area expands onto the dock itself.
