DISCOVER THE ISLAND RESTAURANT
THAT INSPIRED THE WELL KNOWN MOVIE
“THE MENU”
Step aboard M/Y Lagertha, your adventure boat helmed by Captain Alf Roald Sætre, co-owner of Cornelius Seafood Restaurant and fondly known as “Oyster Dundee.” This is not just a boat ride, it’s a private journey where Alf’s stories and local insights turn the waters of Bergen into a living history book.
Your 1.5-hour cruise begins as Alf navigates through the rustic city fjords, sharing tales of his life at sea and his deep connection to the seafood traditions that define this region. Pass by landmarks close to Alf’s heart, from the home where he grew up to the waters he still calls home today. Along the way, hear the remarkable story of Cornelius, which began in 2003 as a small, ambitious idea and has grown into one of Scandinavia’s most coveted dining destinations. Nestled on a remote island near Bergen, Cornelius even inspired the film The Menu, after screenwriter Will Tracy visited and was captivated by its dramatic arrival by boat and unforgettable atmosphere.
Arrive at Cornelius, perched right by the water’s edge. Alf will welcome you ashore and personally introduce you to the restaurant before you’re seated for your dining experience. Choose between the five-course meteorological dinner, inspired by the ever-changing weather, or the legendary shellfish tower, showcasing the freshest catch from Norway’s pristine waters.
After your meal, the journey remains entirely flexible – no schedules or rush. When you’re ready, Alf will be waiting to bring you back to Bergen harbor, offering a smooth and personalized return. This is a rare opportunity to connect with Norway’s coastal heritage, guided by a captain whose passion and character make the experience truly one of a kind.
