The Provianten restaurant is not only a restaurant; they have their own micro brewery, distillery, coffee roasting and deli shop. It's a good idea just to have a look at the premises and enjoy one of their sandwiches (my favourite: liver pate with bacon) and a "presskanne" of locally roasted coffee. Their different beers are also delicious, but because of Norwegian taxes on alcohol, the prices go sky high! Or what do you think about NOK 120 = US$ 15 for a 0.4 glass? The same thing goes for their local spirits.
The menu comprises dishes from "sea and land". They also serve good tapas.
They have a roof Terrace overlooking the river. Here you can enjoy a good meal or just sip at one of their local beers. If you are lucky, you will see salmon jumping in the river.
The staff is friendly, a little bit slow sometimes, especially out on the Terrace. They speak English, some German and one even Polish. The staff is international in the summmer time.
I charming place with a lot of atmosphere!

Fiskelaget

Fiskelaget is centrally located on the waterfront in Mandal. Every morning fishermen deliver their catch to the restaurant, which offers a wide selection of fish and shellfish. Fiskelaget also has a range of lunch dishes and take out dishes on offer, including warm fishcakes, prawn baguettes, fish stir fry, fish lasagne, fish soup etc. You can either take the food with you or enjoy a meal on the Terrace on the roof, where you have great views of the river and its guest harbour.

The fishermens own outlet. You may bring it home or enjoy it at the roof-top restaurant.

Hr.Redaktor

Reviewed By PFP - Norway

Interesting place and very centrally located in the historic district. Food was very good, prices in the high range but well worth it. The price of wines were more out of pace with what you find elsewhere and the selection was somewhat limited. Service was exceptionally good and you only wish you would find this kind of attitude at other restaurants in Norway. Well worth a visit if you are in or near Mandal.

Reviewed By Andre882014 - Heusden, The Netherlands

First of all: I've met lovely people at Kastellet, easy going, time for a chat and helpful when I needed a camping place for the night. For the rest: nice spot, beautiful Terrace (looking over the harbour), great (ceaser) salade and a wonderful cappuccino!

This small hotel in Mandal offers an exciting range of dishes served in cosy surroundings. The menu changes daily in accordance with the availability of fresh produce and in order to offer a variety of new dishes for guests. The chefs have extensive experience with functions, both in the restaurant or at external locations. The flexible catering service aims to meet the needs of all customers, including businesses that may require regular meals after hours. Or why not invite a chef home, into your own kitchen, to prepare an unforgettable culinary experience for you and yours?

We stopped by at Mandal on a Sunday on our way west. It was difficult to find a decent place to eat on a Sunday lunch but Kjopmandsgaarden served a Sunday lunch (fish - "lange" whatever that is in English) that was really good. Recommended!

Marna Cafe

Marna Café is on the waterfront in Mandal. The restaurant has outside Seating throughout the summer, both on a barge on the river and on the quayside Terrace. The bar has possibly the largest selection of drinks in town, and the food menu is a crossover between American and Cajun. We can also offer a range of tapas dishes. The bestselling “Marna Burger” is a must-try classic! During the summer season there is outdoor entertainment from various artists, and the restaurant is also a great place to drop in for lunch when you’re in town. You can moor your boat right on the doorstep!

Marinaen Restaurant

Marinaen Restaurant has Seating for up to 80 guests and also takes bookings for groups and events. If you wish to combine your visit with a meeting or conference, the restaurant also has a meeting room that holds up to 40 persons. In the summer the outdoor Terrace is a great place to while away the hours while watching the boats go by or moor at the Tregde Marina.

Reviewed By Stieid - Stavanger, Norway

We had reserved a table 6 months in advance and given confirmation twice, but still they had forgotten all about us (12 person for an anniversary!).
They also refused to give us food from the menu as they claimed this “closed” at 19:00, instead we were offered “fast food/bar menu” (Hamburger, Sandwich..). No such information was given when the reservation was made.
As we had no other options this evening we chose food from the “bar menu”. Six of us had the hamburger and they served that in 4 different ways (forgetting potatoes, coleslaw and bbq sauce.)
When we were leaving another party arrived, they were given a totally different menu with sea food! We asked to talk to the manager but sadly the one responsible had no time.
(On top of this they also charged some of us cover charge to get in, forgetting to tell us that this was if we wanted to stay and listened to a band. We left before the band started!)

They have some nice cakes and pastries in this bakery and the coffee is okay. The main thing wrong was the service, the staff wasn't friendly so it made our experience lacking.

Stjerna

Mandal most popular banquet facilities. We are a summertime restaurant American Steak House inspired but with local adaptations especially in fish and shellfish. The restaurant is right by the beach and is open six weeks each summer from last week in June until the first week in August. Our large outdoor patio overlooking the beach and the sea is certainly preferable a beautiful summer day, but can also be used in bad weather since there are possibilities for roof over most of the patio. The rest of the year this is Mandals most popular banquet facility, and there are about 15-20 weddings here each year in addition to other parties like, confirmations, reunion parties, memorials, birthday parties and Christmas parties. The venue has a capacity of up to 150 inside and 200 seats outside.

Stjerna is something else. An unique eating and drinking experience close to the biggest beach in Mandal during the summer, often accompanied by live music from their own stage. The rest of the year the place is available to rent/use as a locale for everything...MoreHello Andreas. Thank you for your recommendation. We appreciate it a lot. Welcome back.
