Restaurants in Trondheim

Trondheim is one of Norway's strongest food cities. Trøndelag was named European Region of Gastronomy in 2022 — the first Norwegian region to receive the honor — and the city has two active Michelin-starred restaurants: Fagn and Speilsalen at the Britannia Hotel. Heidi Bjerkan's Credo, which received the world's first Green Michelin Star, was based here for 25 years before moving to Oslo in 2024.

The restaurant scene spans from Bocuse d'Or silver medalist Christopher Davidsen's two concepts — Michelin-starred Speilsalen and the Nordic gourmet bistro Tollbua — to the student-run Lyche at the Student Society and Havfruen, the city's oldest independent restaurant since 1987. Top Chef winner Renée Fagerhøi's Bula Neobistro serves surprise menus with flamingo decor, while To Rom og Kjøkken has delivered family-run fine dining since 2005.

Trondheim also offers a rich diversity of international cuisines: Eritrean at Mesob, authentic Nanjing Chinese at Xu's, Neapolitan pizza at Grano and Hevd, and Asian fusion at Robata. Natural wine bar Spontan (now Saga) has been crowned Norway's best wine list three years running, and the brewpub Trondhjem Mikrobryggeri has been brewing its own beer since 1998.

Whether you're looking for Michelin stars, a casual burger at Superhero, or seafood in an 18th-century wharf warehouse — this guide helps you find the best restaurants in Trondheim, curated with genuine local knowledge.
