Nice place that has a varied menu: bread and baking sortiment, local brewed coffee, local chocolate, and Italian ice cream. The coffee was very good and the ice cream is highly recommended! Nice service and good seating.

FIRA is a home restaurant meaning that I invite you home to a different restaurant experience in my own dining room. I can accommodate groups of 6 -12 people who have pre-ordered.The food is homemade and seasonal produce. I prepare menus with accompanying

Hadde en særdeles hyggelig lørdag her sammen med hyggelige folk. Vinsmaking og foredrag stod på programmer. Alle vinene smakte veldig godt og maten som Ingeborg hadde laget var også veldig god.

FireLake is a contemporary grill restaurant concept from Minnesota, with Nordic influence, in the heart of the city. For Americans, in many world cultures, BBQ is much more than spices, sauces and meat. It is something that connects us all to our roots an

Going to a restaurant located in a hotel is often not the most exciting thing to do. But FireLake really is an exception. As the name suggests, it's a lot about "all things grilled", mostly different kinds of meat, but they have excellent seafood menus and also a great vegan offerings. We (the wife & I) chose "The Sharing", which was a (obviously) a sharing menu, with a selection of starters (salmon tartar, asian beef salad ++), main dishes (really tender filet of beef, piece of turbo, selection of sauces) and a great dessert (chocolate varieties). I ordered a glass of white (chardonnay) & red (shiraz) house wine; great Australian producer. Ambiance was also great and the place was packed. On weekends you only have 2,5 hours for your meal, but that turned out to be more than enough as the service was quite efficient. Some might want more time, but I guess that would be possible, on request, in most cases.Keep it up, we will be back ! :)Dear Smbjerke , thank you so much for your kind words and review .Welcome back , Mario & FireLake Team .

Visited this steakhouse for dinner last week. Nothing fancy. The steaks were lean and well cooked. Reasonable selection of international beverages. One of our party had the chicken burger and another had fish and chips. Both said it was nothing to write home about. Typically Norway is expensive compared to other European countries.Hi and thanks for you feedback.It sounded like you had an average evening and that it was nothing to write home about.

6. Lura Turistheim

This is a typical restaurant in Norway, a casual walk-up and order cafeteria-style establishment. (I would say 99% of the restaurants in Norway are like this--the only places in Norway you are likely to get a sit-down waiter-served meal might be in a fancy hotel or other very up-scale establishment--at considerably higher prices, I might add.) That being said, Lura Turistheim in Sandnes, a suburb of Stavanger, is the real deal....home-cooked Norwegian food. Service, such as it is, is good, and the restaurant is clean. Tap water & coffee are free with your meal.Thursday is "komle day" in Norway, where nearly every Norwegian has komle with all the trimmings. Komle is a potato dumpling, traditionally cooked in salt-lamb broth, on a plate with a piece of boiled salt lamb (not salty at all), sausage, erte stuing (cooked dried peas), mashed rutabaga (kolrabi in Norwegian), and of course, the ubiquitous currant jam, The size of the potato dumpling is a factor of region: the largest ones--the size of large apples or grapefruit--are in Oslo, I've been told. These at Lura are typical size served in Jaeren, the agricultural region that runs from Stavanger south almost to Egersund, and from the sea east to the mountains. They are smaller, the size of a small apple,The Lura is one of the best restaurants to get komle--eat in, or take away. It will be a large meal (remember, you are in farm country here, so hearty meals are the order of the day.) You can order a large plate (3 komle), or small (2 komle), and will be asked if you want "fett" (melted lamb fat) or "smor" (melted butter) poured all over it. Norwegians traditionally serve fett or smor poured over many types of meals, (rather like gravy, but just melted fat.) And you'll be asked if you want "flesk" topping: this is small pieces of crispy-fried lamb fat topped over your meal--something like bacon, but not smoked. Flesk costs a little more, and is delicious! You should try it!Lura offers other traditional Norwegian meals (like karbonnada, a beef meat patty often served with grilled onions & bread; and salmon, and other Norwegian specialties), but their komle is probably the most popular. You can't visit Norway without trying komle, and Lura is the place to get it!

Next to the Lauvik-Oanes ferry and easily reachable by boat is this lovely tea room/coffee shop, located in an old farmhouse and with plenty of country charm. Good coffee and pastries, lefser were a bit disappointing. Upstairs gift shop offers nicely curated selection of stylish souvenirs and decor.Dear AstridGOThank you for rating us at tripadvisor. Really nice too hear that you enjoyed your visit at Bakernes Paradis. Expecially nice to hear that you liked our old farmhouse. This hous was actially built in the early 1800s. Apart from lifting 1/3 of the roof in the middle, the house stands as it did at that time. Thank you for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

The setting is very nice in the restaurant. The service was very good, and prompt. We tried the maki chicken fest, tom yum, pad thai, and two kids meals. The maki chicken was ok, small portion made it a little disappointing, and the sauce needs a little work. The tom yum was outstanding! Very good ingredients, and tasted very fresh. The pad thai was good, and the portion was ok. The kids liked their meals, they are simple, and may need a little more on their plates. This restaurant will increase its customer base as time goes on, just some minor changes need to happen.

Overlooking Sandnes Harbour this is a great place for lunch or dinner. The cosi bar with its fireplace and comfortable furniture is perfect for before dinner drinks. The modern dining room offers views into the spotless and quiet kitchen. Quality of food is great and the service exceptional. My new favorite restaurant.
