Fodor's Expert Review Trøndersk Matfestival

Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, this annual two-day affair sees Michelin chefs, local farmers, and producers from around Trondheim and the Trondelag region set up stalls in the large and leafy town square and surrounding streets. Expect to try heavenly cheeses, jams, and cured meats and fish---maybe even moose or deer meat (or bear burgers, a delicacy found rarely in the north but not hunted). Cook-offs, interactive play, and creative kitchens for younger visitors are part of the event. 

This is one of Europe's most highly regarded foodie events for those particularly focused on the dairy and seafood that this fertile land and surrounding cold waters produce. Around 200,000 people attend each summer, with some 120 producers and 30 breweries showcasing.
