Havfruen

Havfruen is widely regarded as one of Trondheim's leading seafood restaurants, set in an atmospheric 18th-century wharf warehouse with window tables overlooking the Nidelven river; reviewers consistently praise the gourmet-level, imaginative fish dishes (halibut, oysters, the multi-course tasting menu) and attentive service, with the chef often greeting tables. It is considered expensive, and most feel the quality justifies the price, though a minority have reported small portions or under-seasoned food. Status appears to have changed: some listings flag it as closed, but the venue has been relaunched/revived by Ola Skjaak Braek and the Ansnes Brygger team (open again at least seasonally as of late 2025), so it is not permanently shut.
