  • Hello and welcome to Food Neighbourhoods on Monocle Radio.

  • I'm Monica Lillis and once again we visit the places locals love for their food and drink.

  • Today we're heading to Norway's third largest city, Trondheim.

  • Also known as the Viking capital.

  • Trondheim boasts abundant culinary traditions, particularly at Christmas time.

  • Monocle's Oslo correspondent Lars Bavanger takes us on a taste filled tour.

  • Trondheim and I go way back.

  • This is where at the tender age of five, I had my first restaurant experience.

  • It was a pizzeria, which in the 70s was extremely exotic.

  • Today, the culinary map of my home city is Transformed.

  • Just over 200,000 people live here, but Trondheim punches well above its weight when it comes to culinary excellence.

  • In recent years its food and drink credentials have been cemented through a range of international events.

  • It hosted the 2020 Nordic Michelin Star reveal.

  • It was 2022 European Region of Gastronomy.

  • The city hosted the 23 World Cheese Awards and earlier this year the Bocuse d'or Europe.

  • Because it's December, I thought I'd start by strolling through the Christmas market.

  • It's nestled around the central statue of Viking king Olav Tryggvason, who founded Trondheim more than a thousand years ago.

  • Back then, people here soon discovered the fertile soil, a fjord full of fish and mountains rich in wild animals.

  • This largely unspoiled nature still provides excellent local produce to today's Christmas market and Trondheim's restaurants.

  • To get properly into the Christmas spirit, quite literally, I crossed the river Nied Elva and and enter the old Bucklane neighborhood.
