Best Mediterranean

TWO-TIME WINNER

Varka feels like a piece of the Aegean Sea washed ashore in Bergen. Known for offering some of the area’s freshest European seafood, Varka, with its airy and energetic atmosphere, is perfect for indoor or alfresco dining – especially in the summer months. Don’t miss the charcoal-grilled octopus, the lobster and hilopita pasta in shellfish broth, or the langoustines, a sweet Mediterranean delicacy.
