Kafe Kippers USF

Kafe Kippers sits inside the USF Verftet arts centre in a converted sardine factory on the waterfront, and reviewers rave about the fjord views, sunsets and huge summer terrace (billed as Bergen's largest outdoor restaurant, seating up to 500). It's seen as a relaxed, less touristy local hangout tied to the venue's concerts and art events, with mussels, fish soup, burgers and seafood the food highlights. Downsides noted are occasional slow service, limited or out-of-stock menu items, and big crowds on sunny days.
