Bryggen Tracteursted hosts company events, jubilees, confirmations and Christmas parties in three party rooms for 20 to 60 guests. The restaurant has operated since 1708 in one of the oldest timber houses on Bryggen, the Hanseatic wharf in Bergen. It stands at Bryggestredet 2.
Seminars and company events
Company events are one of the event types on the booking form, alongside jubilees, disputations, confirmations or christenings, Christmas parties and other occasions. The restaurant presents the rooms for both formal dinners and informal gatherings, and its team helps plan and carry out each event. The pages do not describe meeting equipment, so ask about projection, sound and layouts when you enquire. Lunch and dinner are available every day of the week for groups.
Rooms and capacities
Schøtstuen takes 50 to 60 guests. It is the original assembly room of the Svensgården house, where the people of the farm gathered for meals and meetings.
Ildhuset takes 35 to 40 guests. It has a stone-paved floor and an open fire, and it was the room where food was prepared in the past.
Høyloftet takes 20 to 30 guests. It is on the second floor and was used to store hay for the horses kept on the floor below, where the Skjenkestue is today.
The pages do not give layouts, so seating styles, standing numbers and exclusive hire are matters to confirm with the restaurant. The booking contact is booking@tracteuren.no, and the phone number is +47 55 33 69 99.
Accommodation
The restaurant has no bedrooms. Organizers who need rooms for guests book them separately in Bergen.
Catering
The menus draw on Western Norwegian and wider Norwegian food culture, with seasonal ingredients and a modern touch. A separate party menu is linked from the site. Dried fish has a fixed place on the regular menu, and the signature dish, Bacalà alla Vicentina, has roots in the 15th century and the Italian merchant Pietro Querini, who was shipwrecked and rescued in Lofoten. The à la carte restaurant opens Wednesday to Sunday from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with the last table order at 9:00 p.m. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday, with changed hours over Christmas. A Christmas party offer runs in the season.
History and setting
Bryggen Tracteursted was established in 1708. The building is one of the oldest wooden houses on Bryggen and carries the history of the Hanseatic period. The wharf is a listed district and a well-known part of Bergen's waterfront. The rooms keep the names and the traces of their earlier use as an assembly hall, a kitchen and a hay loft.
Getting there
The restaurant is at Bryggestredet 2, 5003 Bergen, on the Bryggen wharf in the center of the city. Guests arriving by train or air reach the area through Bergen's city center, and the team can advise on the route and on arrival times for a larger group.
