Fløirestauranten, at the top of Fløyen above Bergen, hosts meetings and conferences for up to 150 people, weddings for up to 112 seated guests and private parties for up to 120. The restaurant has received groups since 1925. It sits at the upper station of the Fløibanen funicular, about six minutes from the city center, with views over the city and the surrounding forest.
Seminars and company events
The meeting offer is built around the second floor. ToppFløyen is the largest room, with windows along every wall and a view over the city and woods. The whole second floor takes 150 people, and the room can be extended with a private bar, lounge and mingling area. Meeting packages combine coffee and tea, a morning snack, a two-course seasonal lunch, an afternoon coffee with something sweet from the pastry kitchen, and the room with technical equipment. A conference setup with projector and speaker is installed in the rooms.
For smaller meetings, the Salongene are two historic rooms furnished with pieces from Knag, which can be divided by a partition wall. A third option is a meeting room by Skomakerdiket, a small pond about a 10-minute walk from the upper funicular station, for sessions in a quieter, natural setting. The venue also offers a team-building game called Fløyenmester, which needs no physical effort. A dinner in the Brasseriet can end the day, and a chef's table evening in Schou gives a group a closer view of the kitchen.
Weddings and receptions
ToppFløyen serves up to 112 wedding guests at the table, set as round tables of eight. The foyer is set up for dancing and has its own bar, and two salons can be used for gifts, coffee and cake, or as a rest area. The kitchen serves one five-course seasonal menu with a matching five-glass drink package, and service lasts about three and a half hours. Tasting sessions are possible by arrangement. Guests take the funicular to and from the venue, and tickets are extra. On the wedding day music volume is limited until 11 p.m. while other guests are in the house. The bar license runs until 1:30 a.m. and the last funicular leaves at 2 a.m.
Rooms and capacities
ToppFløyen: 150 for meetings across the whole second floor, up to 112 seated for weddings. The venue's party rooms take up to 120 guests for confirmations and anniversaries. The Salongene are two divisible rooms for small and mid-sized groups. Skomakerdiket is a separate meeting room away from the main building. Schou is used for chef's table dinners.
Catering
The kitchen works with local, seasonal ingredients from mountain and fjord. Meeting lunches, party menus, Christmas dinners and the five-course wedding menu all come from the in-house team. Allergens are listed on menus. Couples may bring their own cake for a supplement.
History and setting
The restaurant has served celebrations on Fløyen since 1925. It is one of the best-known places above Bergen, reached by the funicular that also carries day visitors, so staff and guests mix with the public on the mountain.
Getting there
Take the Fløibanen funicular from its lower station in central Bergen to the top of Fløyen, then walk a short distance from the upper station to the restaurant. The ride takes about six minutes. Couples who want to drive to Fløyen need to apply to the municipality.
