What to eat and drink in Norway

Abundant seafood, regional specialties such as reindeer, and an ever-growing trend towards cutting-edge cooking using hyperlocal, seasonal ingredients make eating in Norway a locavore’s delight. Whatever your favorite flavor of culinary experience, your taste buds are covered here, from traditional Norwegian dishes in down-to-earth cafes to up-to-the-minute gastronomic trends in sleek surroundings.
It’s worth noting that many restaurants change their menus regularly (sometimes weekly), which is excellent for seasonal variety, but it does mean that some famous Norwegian classics might not be available year-round.
Here’s traditional Norwegian food to eat in Norway.
Reindeer is something every non-vegetarian visitor to Norway should try at least once, but you'll likely want to order it again as it’s one of the tastier red meats. It’s exceptionally lean with a gamey flavor, but it’s much milder than venison – have it roasted for a tender treat. It will typically be served with mashed potatoes, peas and lingonberry jam.
The vast majority of the reindeer in Norway are raised by traditional Sami herders in the north of the country. They’re effectively wild, making reindeer a sustainable, healthy option if you choose to eat meat.
Where to try it: Unsurprisingly, you’ll find that reindeer is more prevalent on menus the further north you go. Head for Emma’s Drømmekjøkken in Tromsø or Du Verden Matbar in Alta.
Norwegians are huge fans of this warming soup, generously loaded with chunks of fish such as salmon and cod, shrimp, root vegetables and cream. Given the abundance of the soup’s ingredients locally, it’s often one of the least expensive items on the menu, but it’s no less tasty and filling for it – especially when you mop it up with a hunk of warm fresh bread.
Where to try it: It’ll be on the menu in restaurants and cafes in any coastal town (and inland, too), but Bryggeloftet is Bergen’s oldest restaurant and a particularly atmospheric option.
This simple, hearty stew is Norway’s national dish. There are only a few ingredients – various cuts of lamb, lots of cabbage, water, and some salt and pepper – so using top-quality meat and having the patience to let it simmer for hours is what will make for a mouth-watering meal.
Fårikål is a comforting family one-pot wonder, usually eaten with boiled potatoes and flatbrød (a kind of crispbread). These days restaurants sometimes offer a twist on the classic, perhaps with extra veggies or by adding beer for a richer flavor.
Where to try it: Look for restaurants specializing in old-school Norwegian fare, such as Kaffistova in Oslo. It tends to feature on seasonal menus in autumn, and there are few better places to try Norwegian lamb dishes than on
