The story
Izakaya Skostredet brings the spirit of a Japanese pub to the heart of Bergen. Located in the Skostredet Hotel, this restaurant is a lively, casual spot where the kitchen focuses on sharing-style dishes. It’s a place designed for good company and bold flavors, earning a Michelin Recommended distinction for its consistent quality and inviting atmosphere.
The concept centers on a menu of small, flavorful plates meant to be passed around the table. Every Thursday, the restaurant runs a special "Chef’s Menu Thursday," where the chefs select six of the day’s best dishes from the menu for a set price per person (minimum two guests). This sharing menu captures the essence of the izakaya experience: trying a little bit of everything in a social, unhurried setting.
The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, fitting naturally into the Skostredet neighborhood’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene. The restaurant is part of the De Bergenske family of hotels and eateries, but it stands on its own as a destination for those seeking genuine Japanese cuisine in Bergen. With its focus on fresh ingredients and communal dining, Izakaya Skostredet offers a relaxed and modern take on Japanese traditions, all within a setting that feels both local and cosmopolitan.
