Kløverhuset

Kløverhuset is a traditional shopping centre at Strandgaten 13–15 in Bergen, combining retail spaces with dining and hotel accommodation. The setting has a strong connection to the city’s commercial history, while the current offering brings several different uses together under one roof.

The main dining option is SJØ Restaurant and Vinbar, located on the first floor. SJØ presents a West Coast-inspired style of cooking that brings local ingredients together with international culinary influences. The menu covers seafood, meat, vegetarian dishes and desserts, giving the restaurant a broad profile rather than a single speciality. Breakfast and à la carte dining are both part of the restaurant concept.

SJØ also functions as a wine bar, making it suitable for a full meal or a more relaxed drink-led visit. The restaurant’s setting looks towards Vågen and Bryggen, adding a distinctly maritime aspect to the dining experience. The combination of regional produce, international inspiration and harbour views gives SJØ a contemporary character within the older Kløverhuset setting.

Kløverhuset suits visitors looking to combine shopping with a meal, as well as diners seeking a restaurant with a varied menu and a central waterfront outlook. The building also contains a hotel, extending the venue beyond a conventional shopping centre. Its mix of retail, hospitality and dining makes it relevant for different kinds of city visits, from a planned restaurant booking to a stop during a day in Bergen.

The overall style is practical and urban, with the historic surroundings providing context for the modern restaurant and hotel elements. SJØ is the clearest destination for visitors focused on food, while Kløverhuset as a whole offers a compact combination of shopping, accommodation and dining at one Strandgaten address.
