Foodie’s Guide to Norway in a Nutshell 🦀

📍 Tromsø – EGON Restaurant A well-known Norwegian chain, but don’t underestimate it—great locations, photogenic dishes, and huge portions. Bonus: Pay a little extra for all-you-can-eat pizza! 🍕 📍 Oslo – Golden Mountain Restaurant Craving Chinese food? This place delivers! The Shanghainese owner recommended hong shao pork ribs (so tender!) and stir-fried Shanghai greens. The spicy boiled beef had us devouring extra rice. 🍚 📍 Flåm – Ægir Brewpub The town’s most popular spot—expect a wait after 7 PM! Their craft beer flights are a hit, and the Viking-inspired dishes (think massive platters) are as hearty as they look. 🍻 📍 Voss – Fleischer’s Hotel Restaurant This historic hotel’s fine-dining restaurant offers just two set menus: salmon or vegetarian. The creamy fish soup and perfectly cooked salmon left us stuffed (but no regrets!). Pricey (~700-800 NOK), but worth it for the experience. 📍 Voss – Inside Rock Café Famous for huge, juicy burgers and local draft beer. Packed with international travelers, plus a pool table for post-meal fun. 🍔 📍 Bergen – Fjellskål Fish Market A must-visit by the waterfront! Book a window seat for unreal views. Go for the signature fish soup, or splurge on a seafood platter (crab, sashimi, etc.). Budget tip: Fish and chips is a solid cheaper option. ⚠️ Bergen Side Notes (Only if you’re desperate for Asian flavors): Siam Ratree: Decent Thai with cozy vibes—good for drinks/snacks, but not mind-blowing. Sze Chuan House: Run by a Cantonese couple, so the "Sichuan" dishes (like hui guo rou with bamboo shoots) are... adapted. Pricey, but fixes spice cravings. 💰 Price Range: Varies ($$$ in Voss/Fine Dining, $$ elsewhere). Why This List Wins ✅ Covers all Norway in a Nutshell stops with *local-approved* picks. ✅ Balances splurges (Fleischer’s) and bargains (EGON’s pizza deal). ✅ Honest about "meh" options (so you don’t waste time/money). #NorwayFoodGuide #NorwayInANutshell #TravelEats #FoodieFinds #LuxuryOnABudget
