Klosteret Mat & Vin

Klosteret Mat og Vin occupies a quiet corner of the Nordnes neighborhood, marked by the simple, low-slung architecture characteristic of the area’s residential streets. The restaurant sits in the vicinity of the historic Munkeliv Abbey, a powerful Benedictine monastery founded by King Eystein Magnusson around the year eleven-ten. While the abbey itself vanished centuries ago, its name survives in the street and the district, preserving the memory of the site that once held immense influence over medieval Bergen.
