What you'll see and do
Fish Market
At the heart of the city’s waterfront, Bergen Fish Market is one of Norway’s most iconic food destinations. Trading seafood since the 1200s, it remains a lively meeting place where locals and visitors gather to experience the very best of the coast. Here, you’ll enjoy a tasting of traditional and seasonal seafood, selected according to what’s freshest on the day. Depending on the season, this may include delicate salmon, sweet prawns, succulent crab or other local specialities straight from the fjords and North Sea. As you sample, you’ll learn why seafood has shaped Norway’s culture, economy and daily life for centuries. With its long coastline, cold clean waters and generations of fishing heritage, Norway has built its identity around the sea. From preserving fish for winter survival in the past to today’s world-renowned seafood exports, the ocean has always been central to life here. This first stop offers not just a taste of Norway, but an introduction to the story behind it.

Our fourth stop brings us to Fjåk at KODE, home to one of Norway’s most celebrated chocolate makers. Fjåk is an award-winning, bean-to-bar producer known for crafting chocolate in small batches and incorporating distinctive Nordic ingredients into their creations. Here, you’ll discover how chocolate can reflect place just as much as seafood or baking. Fjåk focuses on quality cacao combined with local flavours, creating bars that highlight ingredients such as wild berries, sea salt and other elements inspired by the Norwegian landscape. During our visit, you’ll taste a unique twist on a national favourite: brown cheese served in cheesecake form — a modern take on one of Norway’s most iconic flavours. You’ll also sample Fjåk’s handcrafted chocolate, learning about the production process and what sets this local brand apart on the international stage. This stop is where tradition meets innovation — and where Norway’s flavours take on a sweeter form.

At the summit of Mount Fløyen, Fløirestauranten has welcomed guests for more than a century. Overlooking Bergen and the surrounding fjords, it provides a fitting setting for the grand finale of the tour. Here, we sit down to a generous seasonal feast showcasing both meat and fish dishes, with a menu that changes throughout the year to reflect the best available local produce. The kitchen highlights ingredients from the region — celebrating the flavours of the fjords, farms and forests in carefully prepared, comforting plates. You’ll also enjoy a meat and cheese platter sourced from local farmers, offering a taste of Norway’s proud agricultural traditions. The experience is paired with local apple cider, a refreshing nod to Western Norway’s growing cider culture. With sweeping views, historic surroundings and a table full of regional specialities, this final stop brings together the flavours and stories of Bergen in one memorable meal.

Worth it!
Fabulous tour. Wouldn’t change a thing. Catarina was a great guide. Food and experience was 5 stars. Ending up at top of Mt Floyen was well thought out.

Day 1 Bergen Food Tour
Caterina was an absolute delight! Knowledgeable of the area & the local cuisine! She did an awesome job keeping track of all of us & pacing us well! We all had a blast.

Great experience!
Emma provided a great Bergen historic and present overview as our small group took a relaxed and fun stroll around downtown Bergen historic sites. The short walks were intermixed with tastes from the best food establishments Bergen offers, giving a good sampling the many facets of Norwegian drinks, foods and deserts. Emma and Owner-operators gave a great overview of the foods and their businesses and how the Norwegian life works. The tour ended by taking a cable car ride to the top of a mountain with fantastic views of the city and surroundings where we enjoyed our last meal and all the time we wanted to soak in the views, see the most friendly and soft goats and go for a stroll along the many hiking trails.

Food, Bergen History and Funicular in One
While this tour is a bit pricey, it’s worth it because the food is excellent, and it is both a walking history and food tour, and the funicular is included. You also go into non-touristy areas of Bergen. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. You pass a lot to things you want to return to later in the day.

Enjoyable Food Tour

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular cost?
+
Prices start at $2095 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.
Is A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Taste of Bergen Food Tour with Floibanen Funicular start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bergen?
+
On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, Guided Tour To Nærøyfjorden, Flåm & Stegastein - incl. 2h cruise, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bergen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bergen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
