Dining
Speilsalen
The Britannia Hotel’s grand dining room comes with glittering chandeliers, walls filled with mirrors and even a caviar bar – and that’s before mentioning the elegant service, the exceptional wine list and, of course, the highly skilled chef, whose strength lies in classical techniques. The intricate, meticulously prepared dishes showcase the richness of the Trøndelag region over three menus that feature seafood in winter and spring; vegetables and foraged ingredients in summer; and deeply flavoured game and preserved produce in autumn.

The ten-course tasting menu offers modern, restrained cooking and original touches – like a deconstructed XO sauce – that enhance the dishes.

Banquettes and a central bar fit the bill décor-wise, while visible ducting and terrazzo flooring lend an industrial edge. Choose from a set menu of either four or six courses, where a signature dish of scallops can be added as an extra – the accompaniments depend on the season, but could include the likes of sea buckthorn, XO and celeriac.
