Where to eat Scandinavian food in Stavanger: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Scandinavian food in Stavanger, Western Norway, Norway. With about 120,000 people, Stavanger is Norway’s fourth-largest city and a fascinating mix of old and new. Its history stretches back deep into the Middle Ages. Stavanger was once a tranquil coastal market town and then later an important fishing port. But it was the 1969 discovery of oil offshore that forever changed the now bustling city’s fortunes and landscape. Don’t miss the well-preserved old town (Gamle Stavanger), the unique Canning Museum or the 12th-century Stavanger Cathedral.

We had dinner at the restaurant, and the starter was very small and âsimpleâ, smoked salmon. The main dish was a buffet with traditional Norwegian Xmas food. It was very rich in fat, not great I would say. I have been in better places in Stavanger...

Very good atmosphere at this restaurant - nice decor in the covered courtyard area. Attentive and professional service - the waiter offered a good additional description of the food and the daily specials. We chose the fish and shellfish soup and the fish of the day (a type of pan fried cod). The fish of the day dish was excellent ! A good size, perfectly cooked and excellent sauce and slightly crunchy asparagus - nothing to fault about this dish at all. The reason for my Very Good rating instead of Excellent was the soup was simply not hot enough. The flavor was excellent but it was just tepid not hot. Overall still strongly recommend this restaurant. The price is fair for Norway.

I had breakfast there, their breakfast menu is only egg but in different verity of additions/omelette or bagel.I had egg bagel with mushroom, it was good, big portions.And what I loved about this place is that they offer real tea (not ready packed tea bags), so if you are a tea person you will like their offering.The service is good as well, staff were nice.Pass by if you are in the neighborhood.

This is a low key restaurant that serves incredible food and coffee. The fish soup was the best I've ever had, anywhere in the world. It'll be number one on Trip Advisor soon enough. Great service too.

We thought the Fisketorget restaurant might be a tourist trap, because it is located so close to where cruise ships dock. But, we were wrong. Granted it was crowded, even at lunch. We were lucky to get a table, without a reservation, at 1:00 pm. I ordered the mussels in curry, which were good. My husband, though, had the most outstanding fish soup he has ever had. It was full of chunks of fish in a brothy, creamy base. The herbs and seasoning were divine. When we asked the waitress what it contained, she declined to tell us because it was a secret recipe. All I can say is that if you are ever in Stavenger, be sure to stop at Fisketorget for an unforgettable soup.

Located in the same location as our sister restaurant Fish & Cow, we serve a 7 course seasonal menu with the best local produce we can get our hands on. Intimate restaurant with 30 seats, warm atmosphere and the best chairs ever:-)

Had to find a place for business dinner (6 VIPs) and selected Tango and their gastronomic 7 course set menu with standard wine pairings. The food was excellent, very well prepared in very appealing presentation. Each course was introduced by expert waitresses very knowledgeable about the ingredients the preparation and added details on the wine selected to accompany each course. Excellent atmosphere, generous with quantity of food and wine. A memorable experience on all fronts

On a whim, and without booking a table, we chanced upon Sol. What good fortune! The establishment is small, and understated (in a good way). The welcome was the opposite. A table for two, our enthusiastic host took us through the menu, and we opted for the five course set. Fresh bread and sublime butter, a grilled zucchini soup, lightly poached monkfish with asparagus and sugar-snap peas, a smokey celeriac âsteakâ and finally a toast flavoured ice cream dessert. Each dish is lovingly prepared, using the freshest local produce, and cooked and combined to capture maxim flavour and textures. Presentation, with great care, further enhanced our senses.We tried two organic wines, a South African chenin-blanc, and a red from the Anjou region. Both quite different, and each complimented the food perfectly. The wine and drinks list is ambitious, and we did have a chuckle at some of the offerings - search out each page and you will be rewarded!The service was impeccable, the team proud to serve their best food, and unusual combinations, in a warm and welcoming hug of Norwegian hospitality! Sol is a great shaft of sunlight that warmed us to our very core - a wonderful and completely unexpected delight.
