Egon Kjøttbasaren

I don’t mind if your food is expensive but if its expensive and cold that’s another matter.

Ein nettes Restaurant in Nähe der Bergbahn. Es hat eine eigene Bibliothek, dafür wie in Norwegen überall üblich «deftige Preise». Für den Preis 1Tasse Kaffee bekommt man in Old Germany ein Pfund besten Marken Kaffee. Aber man muss sich auch was «jönne könne».

Pizza buffet is a good deal with great recipes and toppings. Sadly, the pizza was undercooked and doughy. Ruined what could have been a great meal.

Didn’t realize this was a chain restaurant until we saw signs for the other Egon in Bergen. Whoops. Stumbled in during a rain storm and decided to wait out the rain with beer and food.
Menu was varied with American, Italian, Mexican and a little Scandinavian. Beer was surprisingly expensive. But 4 beers later, hubby wasn’t really concerned about price. Atmosphere was cozy especially during the rain which never stopped. Liked the candle on the table. Food was not great but it was fine given the circumstances.

This location of Egon has probably one of the best locations around given it is right by the harbor and across from the Fish Market.
They have a large outside seating area and cater to the tourists with menus that are in a wide variety of languages.
Sort of a cross between your corner pub and a TGI Fridays, you find a table, grab a menu and then place your order at the bar. The line to order may be long, but the food actually comes up rather quickly.
We were greeted by a great guy, Jasper (sp?) who quickly found us some menus in English. He stopped by later to clear our table and was just so personable and welcoming he deserves a shout out! He’s new to Norway (from Sweden) but as the «face» of this chain restaurant to us — he made our evening!
The menu is huge and varied– everything from steaks to bar food to pastas to salads. I had the chicken stir fry which was surprisingly good while others at our table had the lasagna, the baked potato and the spaghetti carbonara. All was warm and tasty and a nice change from all of the herring we’ve had over the past couple of weeks in Scandinavia!
Prices were also reasonable.
It’s not fancy and the food is never going to win any culinary awards, but for decent food at a reasonable price in a great location, Egon takes the prize!
