“Why has Trondheim become a top destination for foodies?”
“I think it’s because this region provides the very best ingredients.”
“We have fresh seafood from the fjord, locally produced meat, and lots of excellent vegetables.”
Live Krangnes Edvardsen, chef
Trondheim's best cultural spots
with chef Live Krangnes Edardsen
“I come here to get away from the noise, usually after a long day in the kitchen. I love that you can get a cup of coffee and a bolle (sweet bun) and just relax.”
In the café, you can enjoy freshly made pastries and a hot cup of coffee, while studying the map wall which shows all the pilgrims who have visited the centre.
Live also likes to enjoy her café treats in the centre's charming garden.
“From the garden, you can see Bakklandet, a cosy neighbourhood full of small, wooden houses and narrow streets, and the Old Town Bridge and the listed old wharf buildings. The view is so beautiful and relaxing.”
“The path that runs alongside the Nidelven River also passes Streif. You can follow it around the entire city.”
Trondheim offers more than just great food.
Live guides us further into the city. Just a five-minute walk from the hidden café by the river, stands Trondheim's biggest and most famous landmark ...
… the Nidaros Cathedral, the world's northernmost Gothic cathedral.
“The Nidaros Cathedral is a must-see when visiting the city. It's beautiful to look at from the outside, and there's even more to explore inside.”
Take in the cathedral's soaring ceilings and stained-glass, and climb up 172 steps for a fantastic view of the city centre.
The cathedral is a fascinating place to visit in every season.
In autumn and winter, you can study thousands of sculptures, which give the cathedral a mysterious atmosphere in the dark months.
In spring and summer, experience the fantastic light inside the cathedral, as the sun shines through the colourful stained-glass rose window.
After so many impressions, it's time to relax and enjoy some fine dining. Live's final cultural highlight covers all your needs.
After just an 8-minute walk from the cathedral, you'll arrive at a temple of luxury.
Welcome to the five-star Hotel Britannia.
“I have always wanted to spend the night at the Britannia. It's such a beautiful and luxurious place.”
Since she is a chef, our tour with Live naturally includes a visit to the kitchen.
Today's menu includes delicacies like scallops, lobster, and apple tart. Delicious!
“It sounds (and tastes) amazing.”
Wine Director, Head Sommelier and winner of The Michelin Nordic Countries Sommelier Award Henrik Dahl Jahnsen is exceptional at pairing drinks with the kitchen's delicious food.
“The culinary experience at Britannia is incredible. It has such high-quality food, and the bar is known for its amazing drinks.”
