Advantages: Superb central locations. Varied international menu. Modest prices. Wonderful Thai soups! Disadvantages: The newly opened cafe is fresh and stylish though the original cafe could do with a decor update.
I spend a lot of time in Bergen and there is a cafe/restaurant right in the heart of the city whose name is frequently pencilled into my diary whenever I am planning to meet up with my Norwegian friends. Zupperia was opened in September 2000 and has become established as a very popular spot for locals and visitors alike. (I believe that it is known "offically" as a "soup-restaurant" but I have described it as a cafe/restaurant in this review as I think this will give a clearer idea of the range of fare on offer here!)
The location is superbly convenient for anyone sight-seeing in Bergen. It can be found on a corner where Nordahl Bruns gate crosses Olav Kyrres gate. This is right next to the bandstand at the north-western end of Lille Lungegĺrdsvannet - the lake in the city centre. This is virtually in the heart of the shopping ...
Advantages: very clean, value for money, excellent Disadvantages: too far from Amsterdam
Now not taking into account my 12hour journey on coach to the Hague, when we arrived at the Golden Tulip, for the price we had paid we were expecting a travel lodge of some kind, however much to our surprise the hotel looked very well presented with all glass windows at the front, looking into an exceptional reception area.
The reception had all marble floors, to the right of you you had a bar with a well spacious lounge area and to the right 4 lifts to all floors.
Considering there was a coach load of us, reception were very firendly and very quick in getting us all checked in and allocated to our rooms.
All the lifts worked to all floors and upon entering the room, it was very bright, spacious, with a king sized bed and everything that you required for your stay, hairdryer, television with sky, tea and coffe making facilities ...
Advantages: Lovely staff, great food, outstanding bread, great value Disadvantages: Rather a small menu - might be too small for some.
going to go and have drinks on the roof terrace of the Beluga building which sits on an island in the Wese river and then off to find some tiny restaurant in the historic Schnoor district. The plan went awry when we go to Beluga and found that the roof terrace was closed, presumably because of the high winds. I guess risk-averse German companies don't want customers being blown off their roof. It's probably bad for business.
So the plan adapted quickly and the next thing I knew we were in Boettcherstrasse, a cute and arty little alleyway that I know to be Sabine's favourite street in the city. We only intended it as a short cut back to the market square but we started to dither and look in the windows, I found a wall mounted menu outside a small café-restaurant and the next thing I knew, we were hooked. Neither of us had eaten at Bluhms ...

Manufacturer's product description
This former car showroom is now a popular cafe-restaurant. The large windows of the cafe look out on the lively Torenstraat; the restaurant, however, is more intimate, with its low ceiling, candles, and wooden tables. You can choose a dish either as a starter or as a main course, which is an ideal solution for small appetites (or when you want a taste of everything!). Fish and lamb dishes, such as bouillabaisse or lamb cutlets with feta cheese and ouzo sauce, are popular.
