The Spis take
A long-running seafood house in a wooden Fjordgata wharf building, serving small fish tapas and full plates of the day's Norwegian catch in atmospheric quarters.
People say
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.
