Sellanraa Well-Balanced Dishes & Great Coffee

Don’t be fooled by the mundane looking exteriors of this book store and café – it’s much cozier inside! Sellanraa is one of the best coffee shops in town and in the restaurant, Chef Fredric Klev cooks delicious and well-balanced dishes. In addition to well-known roasters like Tim Wendelboe and Coffee Collective, you can also choose the local purveyor Pala from Trondheim. Get a juicy Chemex hand-brew or any espresso-based drink. Klev’s dishes are simple and generally consist of just a few high-quality ingredients. The potato and duck dish had a buttery potato purée with a poached duck egg inside, topped with lemon peel and potato chips. The scallops, Norway’s finest ingredient, came with caramelized pieces of celeriac and gooseberries for acidity.

Note: Fredric Klev is no longer the head chef at this restaurant, but the concept is the same.
