Britannia hotel
When the Britannia Hotel opened in 1870, it offered an English-speaking home-away- from home, complete with
afternoon tea, to the British aristocracy who enjoyed visiting Trondheim to fish for salmon. Fast forward a century and a half and, after a complete refurb in 2019, the 224-room hotel couldn’t be more modern. Expect TVs in the mirrors, iPad lighting and climate control, alongside classic marble bathrooms, comfy Hästens beds and enveloping, pillowy duvets. The real standout, though, is the food and drink. Restaurants include the theatrical Michelin-starred Speilsalen, where the dishes look and taste exquisite, and Palmehaven (pictured) for buffet-style dining and those afternoon teas in palm-filled surrounds. A true foodie hotel.

Credo restaurant Sustainability is important to restaurants
here – the cows that produce Credo’s dairy have their pictures up on the walls. Diners can even meet them on a visit to biodynamic farm Skjølberg Søndre, which has just opened its own weekend restaurant and started to host pop-ups with local restaurant residencies. Food in Trondheim is taken seriously, but it’s not without personality. At Credo, in addition to the cow portraits, they’ve kept an entire wall of graffiti from when the building, a former
steel works, was derelict. And at another Michelin-starred restaurant we visit on the trip, Speilsalen, plates are put down on tables in unison, as if part of a choreographed dance performance. The atmosphere at both is laid-back and comfortable at all times. And while we might not be able to get away with refilling our own glasses there, like we would at Visit Bjørn, it’s a million miles from stuffy. Even the fanciest food here is fun – and that’s what makes dining in Trondheim so enjoyable. TW
