Fresco Saturday Live: Bergen's coolest brunch spot
Are you looking for good restaurants in Bergen with exciting lunch concepts? Then you shouldn't miss Fresco Saturday Live at Frescohallen. Get ready for lunch, live music and a party – in the middle of the day!
Frescohallen's new Saturday concept gives you both lunch and entertainment with live music. From Frank Sinatra to ABBA – this is the place to go for a wonderful experience.

What's on in Bergen on a Saturday?
You walk through the heavy glass doors and leave the city's busy shopping streets, the Fish Market, the harbour and the historic neighbourhoods outside. Inside, you lift my gaze to the soaring ceiling, and take in the frescoes, arches and the massive glass bar. Ice cubes are shaken, a champagne cork pops. Music rhythms pulsate. A waiter swings past you with Pacific oysters and burgers on a platter. It's still early afternoon, but you can already feel the big city vibe. Ready for good conversations, ready to have fun. This is Fresco Saturday Live. This is Frescohallen!
Following the success of the first time it was hosted, the musical lunch has now become a regular happening every Saturday from 3-5PM. Enjoy live music by the Morten Færestrand Trio, while tasting delicious dishes and maybe sipping a mimosa or two.
