About Biologen
IDYLLIC HERDLA - 45 MINUTES FROM BERGEN
Biologen is a historic building dating back to 1922, now transformed into a modern hotel in the beautiful surroundings of Herdla, just 45 minutes from Bergen.
Originally functioning as a marine biological research station, Biologen hosted both international scientists and royalty in its earlier days. Today, Biologen offers culinary experiences with local ingredients, an extensive wine selection, tranquility for the soul, and a fantastic bed for a restful sleep.
Culinary Experiences: Biologen boasts a modern kitchen dedicated to creating authentic culinary experiences based on seasonal local produce. Preferably, the menu features seasonal local fish and seafood, but dishes are also crafted from the cattle grazing around Herdla. With skilled craftsmanship, the kitchen blends traditional and modern dishes, often drawing inspiration from various corners of the world.
The restaurant is modern in design, yet the historical charm is well preserved. Beautiful brick walls and deep window sills narrate stories from days gone by, allowing you to enjoy a glass from the rich wine cellar, with a focus on biodynamic and organic wines. Biologen is situated in a historically rich natural landscape with abundant wildlife, providing an opportunity to immerse yourself in the maritime experience. There's a special atmosphere on Herdla; crossing the bridge feels like entering another world with a more relaxed pace and nature close at hand.
Large windows in the new part of Biologen capture Herdla's unique daylight, creating the sensation of being at sea.
