It was pouring rain when we reached the top of Ulriken - impossible to stand outside and take pictures of Bergen below even with rain gear! Thank goodness we had a lunch reservation booked together with the gondola ride up through Fjord Tours. Other people without reservations were told they had to leave the restaurant. We got a beautiful table by the window, where we could enjoy the view without getting wet. The manager provided excellent service - he explained our beer tastings and the delicious local food, and allowed us to stay as long as we wanted.

The chef was completely accomodating of the fact that my mother is a vegan and she said it was the best meal she had our whole trip. The only thing I could possibly recommend more the food here are the cocktails- I will forever regret not ordering more, as they were the best I've ever had! Great food, great views, great drinks. I'm excited for my next trip to Bergen so I...
