  • 1. Indian Tandoori

    $$$

    A Trondheim institution and award-winning gastronomic dining room near the water, where you'll find all the best organic produce from farms around Trondelag in traditional Indian dishes, from tandoori to masalas to biryanis and dopiazas. As a nod to Northern Norway and Sámi culture, there's the notorious jahangiri with Røros reindeer.

    Søndre gt. 22A, Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag, 7010, Norway
    73--52--70--00

    Known For

    • Organic reindeer curry
    • Local ingredients
    • Extensive menu
  • 2. Sellanraa Bok & Bar

    $$

    If it's mushroom season, your plate will be awash with chanterelles and fresh herbs; there will always be something pickled, and if you're lucky some local wild salmon or roast pork or goat cheese. There are salads, savory pancakes, tarts, and open sandwiches that almost distract you from the on-site bookshop and library.

    Kongens gt. 2, Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag, 7011, Norway

    Known For

    • Fresh produce from the Trondelag region
    • Knowledgeable and passionate staff
    • Seabuckthorn lemonade

  • 3. Spontan

    $$$$

    For all the hyped natural wine bar-cum-bistros that now characterize casual-elegant, fun modern boozy dining in all major cities, there's one that sets the benchmark. In Trondheim (world-class chefs now flock/return to set up kitchens that feast on the land's fruits), Spontan is that one. Now in a much larger space, housing provocative art, open kitchen and visible wine cellar, this restaurant serves beguilingly fresh small plates that burst with color and character: char, scallop, chicken liver mousse, king crab. Most dishes (note the cute, bric-a-brac pantry-like glass and earthenware) are served as melt-in-the-mouth bites, with radical accents and meticulously paired pours to compliment. Summer-in-a-bowl raspberries with milk ice cream and Comtè-filled petit-fours will leave you sounding off to fellow winer-diners around the world about this spontaneous find on a cobbled old street near the water. A significant but worth it NKr 1,100 for the full tasting menu, NKr 875 for the generous wine pairing---with a smaller but just as robust and beautiful menu available for NKr 600/NKr 585 and bar snacks if you're just here for drinks.

    Fjordgt. 1, Trondheim, Sør-Trøndelag, 7010, Norway

  • 4. AiSuma

    $$$$

    If you're a meat lover, there's no place better to sample a perfectly grilled steak in Trondheim. The three-course tasting menus let you start with inventive seafood dishes (smoked halibut tartare, perhaps, or black pepper crab) before moving onto the main event. Vegetarians can choose among a variety of expertly prepared side dishes. With long banquettes lining the wall, the interior has an old New York vibe.

  • 5. Credo

    $$$$

    One of the most sustainable restaurants in Scandinavia, indeed in the world, with its no-waste policy and creative fervor. Credo serves Noma-level brilliance in its glass and iron structured dining room, on ceramics and with glassware from Røros studio Wathne. The Michelin-starred menu is super pricey, great for a one-off special occasion.

  • 6. Fagn

    $$$$

    One of the most famous restaurants in Trondheim, Fagn has won international awards for its inventive cuisine that harks back to the dishes that many Norwegians ate during their childhoods, then takes them in new and unexpected directions. No need to decide among the many interesting flavor combinations: you'll have a front-row seat as the chefs in the open kitchen prepare 10- or 20-course tasting menus. No one will rush you through your meal---in fact, they urge you to spend the whole evening in the ground-floor dining room. There's also a more casual bistro on the second floor, also offering multicourse curated menus.

  • 7. Frati

    $$

    Leading pasta and pizza joint, slick and sophisticated rather than a family trattoria vibe and reliably authentic Italian fare. The set menu is worth a look---once again brimming with locally cured artisanal delights.

    $$

    The expression was introduced by the legendary Norwegian television chef Ingrid Espelid Hovig: find out its meaning when you visit. Attached to the art museum is this café-bistro darling from chef Lars Laurentius who founded famed restaurant Troll. Catch the seasonal herbs and garden finds with the reddest local salmon on your plates here, plus perhaps a mushroom and chilli soup garnished with parsley. Open-faced sandwiches and fresh local juices also apply. You're surrounded with imposing, dramatic wall sculptures from famed artists.

    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.

An extensive menu of Indian and Nepalese curries---plus Himalayan momo dumplings and lighter soups, fresh lassis, desserts, and snacks. Super affordable dinner and mammoth-size meal deals with various curries, rice, and fresh naan are available. Longtime dining spot loved by locals and travelers alike, headed by the cheery and talented Nabin Kumar Thakur.
