USF — Attraction in Bergen

We were looking for something not so touristy in Bergen and this place was close to where we were staying. Wonderfully picturesque, overlooking the harbour, the USF, or United Sardine Factory, offers a little place called Kippers. There was plenty of outside sitting for the summer months and every effort was made for guests to enjoy their meal outdoors, with blankets, overhead heaters, and umbrellas to keep the rain and sun from disrupting your dining experience. They feature a DJ outside to spin some tunes, and on the Friday night we were there, there was a Norwegian rapper laying down his F-bomb laden rhymes. Probably not for everyone. We ordered the Bolinhos (155 NOK), a Brazilian dish of fish, potatoes, and egg formed into balls and fried, served with tartar sauce and salad. It was tasty, not bad.

There was an abstract & bizzare art performance taking place outside the building during our visit. Expect 15-20 mins walk from the...

Had a shrimp sandwich (yum!) and a glass of wine on a warf looking out over the ocean. It's a must for everyone visiting Bergen. However, the staff was inattentive and indifferent. There were loads of people at work who just stood around and did nothing. Dirty dishes were piling up on the tables attracting seagulls who dove in to eat the...
