Bardus Bistro
More Fun Than Formal
Bardus Bistro draws its inspiration from the bistros of southern Europe where small relaxed restaurants serve home style honest meals made from fresh local produce at a reasonable price. Bardus bistro is a Norwegian reflection of the traditional bistro concept and our menu is based on the ingredients and culinary history of the north. Priding ourselves on our strong personal relationships with suppliers, Bardus is able to create inventive and ever changing menu’s using ingredients such as moose, reindeer, king crab fresh fish and whale.
It is very rare indeed that our Ingredients arrive from any postal code other than Tromsø and its region. Having said that, where the cod swims really is out of our hands, however the hook and its owner are most certainly local. We serve food according to season, and to satisfy our own curiosity. You will be familiar with most of things that land on your plate, but not everything…we love to surprise as well as satisfy.
When the sun blesses us with its presence we’ll serve you on Tromsø’s most sun drenched and sheltered verandah.

Bardus Bar
Home of Tromsø’
Arctic Seaweed cocktail.
Bardus Bar is at its heart a Northern Norwegian experience. A Nordic cocktail bar dedicated to combining the finest products in the region to produce the highest quality experience. For the visitors amongst us the locally harvested Arctic seaweed cocktail is an experience not to be missed.
Whether you have a desire for a superbly crafted cocktail, a great glass of wine, a beer you have never heard of or to flirt with the finest examples of aged distillation...we will be sure to make you feel at home. And if you feel for a bite of food you can slide into our bistro and enjoy one of Tromsø’ finest Kitchens.
Bardus (bɑɾˈdʉːs), the original Dutch text meaning; that which comes suddenly (baduff). Feel free to use the term… the old proverbs are often the best. Built as early as 1868 as a bakery, then used as Troms’ first cinema, Bardus sits in historic surroundings. The building contains many angles… to venture up on to our mezzanine is an experience in itself.

“The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.” Aristotle Great teams exist when the environment in which they function is safe. Where every voice is heard and the traditional concepts of hierarchy and privilege are replaced with the values of respect, empathy & family ✌️ l am blessed to be a part of the Bardus team. 🙏🏼 #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails #arbeidsmiljø

Folks the cod tongues are going to vanish when the menu changes very soon. 😪 Just a little reminder that sometimes we don’t know what we’ve got til it’s gone...they paved paradise and put up a parking lot...✌️Matt #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails

It is Friday after all. Bar opens at kl15 on Fridays and Saturdays. After work drinks are optional of course...l can’t for the life of me see a reason against such an option...du har lov. ✌️Matt #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails

I know l have posted the reindeer before but this shot just dragged me in and made me instantly hungry. Seriously if you haven’t tried this creation and you think you know how good reindeer can be, l suggest you try this and think again. I know that sounds cocky and Rune will be pissed at me for saying it, but it really is amazing. ✌️Matt #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #destinationtromso #visittromso #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails #reindeer

A 15 minute walk up the hill from Bardus is Prestvannet. A lake on the top of the island that was the original water supply for Tromsø. A great spot to see the northern lights and connect with nature. Yes...it’s still snowing. ✌️ #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #destinationtromso #visittromso #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails #winterwonderland

Ok if I’m honest, our Bistro Burger is not technically a vegetable or a fruit and it probably shouldn’t be placed into the category of every day healthy options...But...it is Sunday so you have a choice, either head off off to church to atone for last nights sins or head to Bardus for a secular recovery. Ok l am sure there are other options in life...l just can’t think of any right now✌️ #bardus #morefunthaformal #lickmydish #tromso #burger #destinationtromsø #northernnorway #norskmat #tromsø #arctickitchen #mat #matprat #foodie #norway #norge #bar #bartenderlife #mixology #cocktail #cocktailbar #drink #barman #craftcocktails #classiccocktails
