"If you're going to take one eight-hour train ride through the mountains just to eat at a restaurant this year, make it Christopher Haatuft's Lysverket in the charming seaside town of Bergen. The train trip from Oslo is nothing short of stunning, and a perfect appetite builder for Haatuft's magic. ". - Conde Nast Traveller , 2014".
