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.

Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
