I organized a 20-course representation dinner here for myself and under 20 colleagues and outsiders. Also had prestigious wine package. The restaurant had actually closed the day we were there, but it still had open for us.
The food and wine served was absolutely fantastic. I have been to many nice restaurants and fine dining in the past, but the level here was far above expectation and probably the best food experience I have had. Special dishes were served, each of which has a large number of flavors that you probably never get experienced anywhere else. The kitchen was also remarkably well organized and quiet, despite the fact that there were 4-5 pieces making the food in front of us. Food and wine were also presented to us in a good way.
The service was also very good and the staff were very friendly. This also made the organization of the dinner easy for me. Overall, it was a very memorable evening. The only note we had was that a few of the wines were not introduced to us.
The price level was also quite ok, since I did not have to pay for all the food myself.

Fantastic experience. Lots of good dishes on a Wednesday. Good portions.
Could wish me less sweet dessert dishes and a slightly larger main dish. Expensive and good, excellent service, maybe liked stiff, but recommended.

I tried to take pictures of every course and the corresponding wine but I gave up after a while and surrendered to the culinary joy.
Robert, our main server, was the BEST - took the time to explain every grape and vineyard our wines came from in loving detail and every single aspect of every dish. But is wasn't just Robert. Stephan also welcomed us and gave us our intro drink (a green drink with cucumber juice from a local Norwegian gin), plus Adne from the kitchen prepared every dish with incredible attention to detail. I've eaten at all the fine restaurants in NYC and this meal was far more unique from the oat bread made from extra beer from local distilleries to the local mushrooms, halibut, light dessert, on point wine pairings... I could go on but the 10 course meal was light enough I did not feel over stuffed. not sure I could have done the 20 course meal but the 10 was light enough for both of us
The wines were incredible- only one red (I'd recommend 2-3 reds) and a few sparking/whites but overall, some great Norwegian treats (dessert wine plus cider) plus some memorable French an Portuguese wines.
Though our total was close to 600 for 2, totally worth it and one of the best meals of all time with caring and knowledge servers. Thanks to Roger, Stephan and Anne.

The ear with accessories tasted excellent, well prepared with exciting flavors. The expectation for the main dish was great and the disappointment equally. Lovely accessories but getting an outer fillet to be so to those degrees of toughness is nothing less than impressive! There was an intense battle with poor cutlery to make chewing pieces and the job of getting the pieces swallowable after ingestion was at least equally large. Here it must have failed in the most basic knowledge about cooking meat and if I myself had made something so embarrassingly bad I would never have served it. The dessert was good and the associated wines equally so though the quantities barely kept to a mouthful. All in all a slightly embarrassing experience.

It wasn't bad, but I expected more. The 10-course menu was more of a series of tapas, which made the 2 Michelin stars a bit exaggerated and the price much too high. The coffee after dessert was not even tasty and contained only one small sweetener. Really not worth repeating

High ambitions, but not far ahead. Energy has gone into trying to complicate the dishes, more than making them taste amazing .. hard to find theme or common thread in the servings .. then maybe the order of the servings should be changed .. you sit on plastic chairs for 5 hours and suddenly there was a break of 30-45 minutes between see last servings at the end .
The towels in the toilet and the warm ones on the table smelled a bit sour and disturbed the experience .. young ambitious staff but felt like trainees at times . . . Some dishes were really good while some were bland .. a dessert was actually partially inedible
We didn't think the place deserves a star based on our visit

My husband and I dined in the Fagn Bistro in Trondheim last night and had the most wonderful experience enjoying the 5 couse dégustation. The savoury courses became more delicious as they arrived! We indulged in the matched wines and as we were not enjoying the second wine our delightful, attentive waitress replaced it with the previous one which we thoroughly enjoyed twice! We would definitely recommend this fabulous restaurant.

We have eaten great food in many countries around the world but cannot think of many culinary experiences that come close to the 20 course tasting menu at Fagn, with the matched wines of course. Utterly extraordinary food, each dish with a personal story. The whole experience was truly worth travelling from Oxfordshire via Oslo to enjoy. Fagn, I’m my opinion at least, deserves more than the one star from Michelin!

While the initial greeting felt a bit chaotic and we were left to wait 15 min in a reception area before being shown to our table, a concept which can work with some improvements, the rest of the night was a unadulterated delight. The food was excellent, with an excellent dashi, brewed tableside, and the best duck breast I’ve ever had as highlights. The service was great, particularly the sommelier Eila, who was both incredible knowledgeable and friendly.
Fagn, without a doubt, deserve a second Michelin star. It is a boon to Trondheim and one of the top dining experiences in Scandinavia.

Had a wonderful evening with friends at Fagn. We had 15 courses with a wine package. The food and wine were exquisite and with fantastic service, this was an unforgettable evening! The food was varied and creatively presented, an experience!

I’d heard amazing things about this restaurant from my Norwegian colleagues and was so keen to try it out when in Trondheim for work again. Trondheim is a beautiful city with so many lovely places to eat out but this for me has been the best. Service and food was outstanding.
We opted for 18 course tasting menu and wine paring. Don’t be alarmed as all dishes are very small but expertly put together and link well from one dish to another.
My favourite two were surprisingly the lichen soaked in blood and then a frozen cucumber dish. The taste combinations in both were phenomenal.
My work friends and I had the best time and lots of laughs. There’s a local gin they serve there that I wish we could get here in the UK. It was fab also.
Lovely touch having the head chef/owner cone out to chat to us all and give us an insight into how he started this lovely wee place. 10/10. Wish I could go back again soon!

A absolute must if you are in Trondheim. Like buying concert tickets to your favorite artist, you’re left in awe. Tastes so familiar but at the same time so exciting and unknown. Widen your horizon, visit Fagn Resturant in Trondheim.

Wow! Fantastically good food, perfect amount of food, great food and a common thread throughout the whole experience. Prestige drinks package and large tasting menu were worth investing in. Personal favorite was Herring, and actually one of the desserts, Græt. The potato trying to be pasta is also on my pallet. Top service with a twinkle in the eye ensured a good atmosphere!

My niece who lives in Trondheim made the reservation and suggestion. She has been here a couple of times and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and so was the food! If I do go back tor Trondheim, I definitely will go back. We had the 5 course dinner.

Finally we got to visit this pearl! We had the 20 course tasting menu which blew all my expectations. The pairing of the wines were also truly on point. Some of the wines we tasted we thought "it will be interesting to see how this will pair with food", and when we got the food it was supreme.
