Reviews
We chose our meals and a bottle of excellent Chardonnay, and then proceeded to devour what I can only describe as the best fish-based dinner I have ever had. Two of us had the incredible fish soup as a starter, which was a hearty, flavour-packed smorgasbord of scrumptious shrimp, cod, herb oil, chives, delightful crispy bits, in a lightly creamy broth. The sourdough and rye bread with whipped butter that were brought to the table were a lovely accompaniment and we probably could’ve made a meal of just that, given the generous portion size of the soup and bread.
Still, I’m so glad we didn’t because the absolute showstopper was the skrei (which we all had for our mains) on a bed of mashed celeriac, with shiitake mushrooms, broccolini, and the most unbelievably delicious scallop sauce. It’s hard to describe just how much we loved this dish, and each of us cleaned our plates like the world was about to end! Every component of that dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection, the fish flaked off beautifully but still had enough body and substance to maintain a fantastic mouthfeel, and the celeriac mash and sauce were the perfect foil. We were stuffed to the gills (pun entirely intended) by the end of this, and sadly could not contemplate dessert (even though I’d noticed a very enticing dark chocolate something…) but needless to say we were more than satisfied with the experience.
This place isn’t cheap, it’s only for unwavering fish lovers, and by choosing a la carte we had full control over what we ate, but I couldn’t fault a thing and I can’t wait to go back.
The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was amazing, and the food was beyond delicious. All of the flavors complemented each other and this is a key destination when in Stavanger!
A large variety of fresh seafood to go, as well as packaged delicacies are also available
In short i would describe this place as a typical overpriced tourist trap to avoid.
Of our 3 different menu items only 1 was even remotely acceptable. Catch of the day was fine, nice sauce and reaaonable serving size.
The “largest shrimp sandwich” as it was called on the menu was a joke. A very small handful tasteless shrimps on a huge bed of raw mixed sallad to give the illusion of size without actually having to serve anything of worth. The bread wasnt bread, it was a thick slice of the same foccacia bread served in the bread basket drenched in a dill mayonnaise.
310nok for 90% sallad, the wrong bread and 4 slices of cucumber and radish with a tiny portion scrimp. No, just no. Blasphemous.
The spicy salmon sallad was even worse. Imagine the largest bowl (akin to a family sized ramen bowl) filled with 700grams of the same plane mixed sallad, thick pieces of chopped chilli peppers (not even de-seeded) and 6 tiny pieces of plain raw salmon.
Again, amazingly stingy protein portion size. Just a bunch of bland sallad that likely came pre-packaged.
I assume this place would be nice on a hot summer day while enjoying a beer and maybe something else on the menu. For lunch however this was the biggest disappointment in a long time.
We were visiting Stavanger and looking for an authentic Norwegian seafood experience. This restaurant showed up in the reviews, so we decided to give it a try.
We asked for traditional Norwegian salmon, but surprisingly, they didn’t have it. Instead, we ordered shrimp, lobster, and crab.
The lobster was average, nothing special. The shrimp was a disaster — no flavor at all, and it wasn’t properly cleaned. The crab was also disappointing and didn’t taste fresh.
We couldn’t finish the food.
When it was time to pay, the bill came to 349 euros, which was shockingly high for such a poor experience.
Overall, we were very disappointed. We felt misled by the reviews, and unfortunately, this place didn’t live up to our expectations at all.
