[Trondheim] What are the best places to eat in Trondheim — and what’s your “go-to” dish there?

In Trondheim, I’d happily go back to Sellanraa for something relaxed but thoughtful, and Credo when I want to be reminded that Norwegian ingredients can punch way above their weight. My standout food moment was perfectly cooked cod with butter-heavy sides that looked simple and then quietly ruined other fish dishes for me. Sellanraa is easygoing and great for first-timers, while Credo is more of a planned evening unless you enjoy spontaneous fine dining stress. Personal tip: book dinner earlier than you think you need to, because Trondheim eats early and good tables disappear fast.

Trondheim punched way above my expectations food-wise. I’d happily go back to **Troll** for something casual — classic Norwegian comfort stuff done right, and my go-to was reindeer with mash after a long day walking around. Super relaxed, good prices for Norway, and zero stress if you’re tired or with family. For a bigger “wow” moment, **Credo** was hands down my standout, especially a seasonal tasting dish built around local vegetables and seafood. If a friend had one night, I’d say keep it simple, eat central, and don’t overplan — Trondheim rewards wandering. Did you consider an alternative route up the coast instead of just hopping straight north or south?
