Social Profile:

Sjøstue nr 1 som idag er Enhjørningen Fiskerestaurant ligger i det tradisjonsrike bryggekvartalet fra Hansa-tiden i Bergen. Navnet Enhjørningen nevnes første gang i år 1304. Det opplyses da ved en vitneforklaring at den tyske kjøbmand Herman Skult bodde der for femti år tilbake, og at gården således må ha fått sitt navn allerede før år 1260. Som merke på sjøstuen fører gården en springende hest med forgyllet horn. Etter brannen i 1702 ble gården gjenoppbygget, sansynligvis på de gamle tomter. Hele gården er i dag restaurert og tilbakeført som denvarpå 1700-tallet. Enhjørningen sjøstue nr.1 har alltid vært betraktet som en av de siste hanseatiske stuer på Bryggen. Sjøstuens siste hansiatiske forvalter var Christian Joachim Mohn 1760 -1765.

Phenomenal food. Whale Carpaccio just perfect, as was the Angler fish. Service friendly and helpful, vibe of the room quirky and off-kilter in a wonderfully old fashioned way. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience in a traditional Norwegian restaurant in Bryggen historic area. The restaurant is upstairs in an old building. We had dinner here. Were greeted immediately upon entering and seated. We had a very attentive waiter. Enjoyed the gratinated scamp and the angler fish. Both delicious as was the bread and butter. It’s a must do for Bergen

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the « Unicorn Fish Restaurant) in Bergen, Norway.

This restaurant is quite famous online and on social media, mainly because of the historic building and the unicorn imagery that decorates the entrance. The dining room is upstairs (not to be confused with the sister restaurant on the ground floor, likely run by the same owner). Inside, you’ll also find a unicorn on display, and the space is spread across several adjoining rooms with old wooden paneling, giving it a slightly charming, old-fashioned atmosphere.

As for the food, the fundamentals are good with quality ingredients, though the style felt a little dated and heavy, with sauces perhaps relying too much on butter. We ordered mussels, a fish dish with vegetables and potatoes, and a blueberry-based dessert. Everything was good overall – the tart was probably the highlight – but the dishes could benefit from being a little lighter.

The service was polite but somewhat impersonal; a warmer touch and closer attention to the tables would have made the experience more enjoyable. We were lucky to have a table by the window overlooking the busy walkway along the Bergen harbor, which added to the charm.

Overall, this restaurant might be for those who want to experience the historic setting and its online fame. For travelers primarily seeking a standout gastronomic experience, however, it may be worth exploring other options in Bergen as well.

I recently had dinner at Enhjørningen Fiskerestaurant, located on the second floor of the historic yellow wharf house in Bergen.

For our meal, we ordered the fried angler fish, the steamed halibut, the fish soup, and the crab soup. The fish soup was quite salty, and we had to balance it out by ordering some bread to eat with it.
Both the angler fish and the halibut were good, but the fried angler fish was tastier. We did notice that both fish dishes came with the exact same vegetable and potato sides.

What a delight to discover this gastronomic gem after a rainy day in Bergen. The excellent wine selection was only surpassed by the creative menu, where aesthetically presented dishes revealed a spectrum of flavors I have rarely experienced in seafood cuisine. The fish, so fresh and perfectly textured, was elevated by the chef’s masterful touch. I regret not capturing the dessert in a photo, but it was a great finale—creative in its presentation and rich in flavor, the perfect close to the meal.

Disappointing experience at the restaurant. I had a dinner in this historic restaurant in Bryggen, expecting a delightful seafood experience. Unfortunately, the food was far from satisfactory.

The fish soup was excessively salty, overshadowed the flavour of the seafood and other vegetables in the soup. I had the turbot and ling as the mains. The turbot was heavily seasoned with salt and pepper, the potato purée on the side was good though. The ling fish was served with soy sauce, which was again overly salty, and the pumpkin purée also had the same savoury flavour. The only good dish was the tuna tata, which was fresh and delicious.

In addition, the service is terrible, the staff didn’t introduce the food on plates, and wanted to collect our dishes before we finished the meal. The meal’s price of 1500 NOK felt outrageously high for such poor quality.

A perfect place to enjoy a delicious Norwegian meal! Get an early reservation and enjoy a window table overlooking the harbor in Bergen. Service is attentive without being distracting. Take a chance on the “catch of the day – I did, and it was fantastic! My wife and I agreed the salad was among the best we’ve had in years. The ambiance is unmatched, but be careful going up the stairs! The cost for all this was more than reasonable. My strongest recommendation!

We made a reservation, as stated was needed. We arrived early and walked into a completely empty restaurant!! Obviously, seated quickly and ordered wine and drinks. The fish soup was…interesting. It is not creamy as all the others, it’s more of a thick broth with full prawns. The cod was fantastic!! The old building is awesome! The decor is great and takes you back 100years! A little much for us, but a fun experience.

This old restaurant was still there with keeping their genuine atmosphere. The interior gives a great vibe and we were there during dinner time, quite crowded.

We were only 2, so could get a table without reservation. But it might not be always easy.

We took fish soup and smoked salmon as appetizer. And halibut and turbor. Fish itself was well cooked and good taste. Me who loves fish thought dished had too much sauce on them though. Sauce was nothing wrong, but it simply too much for me.
