Bare Restaurant - Vin og Matbar Bergen

The bar in the hotel Bergen Børs is exceptional. We had a wonderful evening tasting all the snacks on the menu (yes, all of them in the end !), soaked up the surroundings and enjoyed the outstanding cocktails mixed by Frank, who is something of a magician when it comes to cocktails! We were made to feel wonderfully welcome by Jack who was such good company and great to chat to, covering many topics including spiders, horses, penguins, history and travels :) We will definitely return and very much hope to find both Frank and Jack there ! Note: the restaurant is no longer located in the hotel

Amazing dinner prepared by 👩‍🍳 Mendosa! (The duck was exquisite!) The (mock)/cocktails are really worth it aswell! (Ask for the bartender’s favorite)

We had an amazing full Tasting menu here and impeccable service. The food is mind blowing- extremely well thought out, perfectly made and arranged. From the very start of the snacks inside of the stunning bar, to the Tasting menu inside of the beautiful dining room everything was a symphony of service and food. As it is with tasting menus it’s hard to describe it in detail. So the best way do describe it is “innovative & delicious”. Having had a good selection of dining experience like this across the world, I simply don’t understand why Bare has “only” one Michelin Star. It deserves at least two. As a side note - we had the non alcoholic drink pairing (a first for me) and I highly recommend that. It was innovative, truly matched the dishes and it was delicious!

Me and my friend had 10 courses and a bottle of wine + cocktail and we had a WONDERFUL time here! Foods were perfect! My 1st goes to Norwegian eel, then salmon nigiri, oyster, and matcha crème brûlée 🫶🏽🫶🏽 I am a very detailed person, and what I recognised here is that their service is top tier(I’ve been to too many fine dining, including Michelin star and their service is at the same level as 3 star in Paris) So, it is more than “worth the money” I’d definitely come back here again.

Michelin star restaurant in Bergen. Over 10 types of foods from the bar area to the restaurant area. The decoration of their foods was amazing although each portion can be tiny. It took nearly 4 -5 hours in total to finish so we left a little bit tired. This is not just for filling stomach but rather a food show. Service is great but could be better.

Great experience of Japanese - Norway fusion. Fabulous menu and good wine pairing. Point for improvement - to add good Italian coffee (espresso, macchiato, cappuccino)

We dined at Bare yesterday night. The food tasted really good, but unfortunately, we experienced severe stomach issues afterward and were up all night. We had a flight the next morning, which made the situation even worse. This is not something we would expect from a fine dining restaurant. Despite the great taste of food, the aftermath was quite unpleasant.

We had shorter tasting menu in 07/2022, food was great and wine pairing superb, service was friendly and not too formal, they even send some Finns from kitchen to serve us some of plates. Only "downside" was, i needed to ask few times non-sparkling wines, as they forgot it, but fixed it with smile on face.
