Enhjørningen

Enhjorningen gives a great introduction to Norwegian fish. Upscale and more local than some of the other spots now dominating the wharf the Unicorn has a simple but delicious menu. We started with the marinated halibut and scallops. Mains were the fish platter, salmon and the angler. The angler was firm and done to perfection one of the better white fish I have ever had.
Service was great.

Very expensive even for Norwegian standard. Ordered 2 starters: salmon & asparagus, and grilled scallop. Both were very very small portion. Three tiny pieces of scallops for 180 kr. Main courses were small portion too, each about 320kr. Taste was nothing special. we don’t understand why this restaurant has quite a reservation list. We walked in early for dinner. Not recommended given the hefty price, small portions and ordinary taste.

Enhjørningen is a very good seafood restaurant conveniently located right in the Bryggen area. For a starter I had the whale carpaccio, which was delicious. The whale had a nice clean, meaty flavor, and the accompaniments of sour cream and berry sauce were a great combination. For the main I had the Bacalao, which is cod with cheese and bacon. It was delicious and a huge quantity of food. I’m sure you’ve heard/​read that prices are astronomically high in Norway — same is true here, but at least you’re getting great quality and quantity.
I enjoyed the ambiance and service here. The restaurant is on the 2^nd floor of an old building, and has a nice charm to it. The service is very friendly and fast.

Very good seafood restaurant if you want to try out norwegian specialties. I had the whale ham for starter. First time that i try whale and it is worth the visit! Very tasty :) the main course was turbot and it came with a selection of steamed vegetables and baked potatoes… Simple and very good. Staff was also friendly and the décor is traditional with wooden floor and nice tables and chairs. On the pricy side, but what isn’t pricy in Norway!

This was one of the better meals I had on a week-​long trip in Norway. It is centrally located in the wharf area, famous from the Hanseatic Trading League. While it might seem like a tourist trap restaurant, I found it to be quite the opposite.
Our group of three did make a reservation for the following evening while walking around the wharf one afternoon. We walked upstairs to the restaurant and a gentleman helped us out with our request.
The following evening we came back and were promptly seated in the dining room. At the time we sat down, the restaurant was about half full, but it was completely full by the time we departed.
While you might get a chuckle out of the wooden unicorn figure on display next to the name of the restaurant, and his, well… ummmm…let’s just say we know that HE is a HE. ‘Nuff said. Anyways, there are a few more figures on display inside, in all his glory, to watch over you as you eat, or perhaps get a «hey Mom look at the unicorn’s junk» comment from a child.
The interior of the restaurant is woody, dark, and moody. The servers were attentive. For a starter, I tried the fish soup. It was good, though I found my entrée to be far superior. I ordered a steamed halibut which came with a spinach sauce. The fish was excellent, it was a large portion, and I left full and content.
Should my travels take me back to Bergen, I will definitely revisit this restaurant. Given the quality of the food, we found it to be quite a value.
