Gaptrast

In the heart of Bergen lies Gaptrast, an exquisite fine dining restaurant where local ingredients are transformed into world-class gastronomic experiences. Every element is carefully sourced from West Norwegian fishermen, farmers, and hunters, and refined with uncompromising precision and passion.

The menu offers a sensory journey through the region’s richest flavors, where creativity and technical mastery come together in every dish. Complementing the cuisine is a curated wine list featuring the world’s most sought-after classics, alongside an exclusive selection of Norwegian artisanal ciders, perfectly paired with seasonal ingredients.

Behind the scenes are Chef Kristian Vangen and General Manager Øystein Ellingsen, renowned for elevating Bergen’s culinary scene to Michelin-level standards. Their vision is to create a holistic dining experience where flavor, atmosphere, and hospitality converge to leave a lasting impression.

Gaptrast offers a journey through wild Nordic terroir — an immersive dining experience where nature, art, and flavour converge. From the first welcoming sip of local cider to being guided into a moody, candlelit dining room with an open kitchen and glowing embers, every detail at Gaptrast is designed to enchant the senses. Dishes are often daring and complex, harmonizing elegant flavors with bold, inventive touches – such as duck with winter apples and vin jaune – or other seasonal masterpieces that celebrate the essence of Western Norway.
