Redningen ("The Rescue") is a nice, cozy restaurant, with a varied international menu.The atmosphere is casual- even simple,- though with a rich maritime historic decor. The owners of this establishment have been sailors themselves, and it shows. Great, if You (like me) enjoy pictures of ships, and other memorabilia from far-away ports and old vessels.Food is good, and reasonably priced. As mentioned by others, the menu varies from home made pizzas in many varieties (with local names) to steak, ribs, and so on.Service is very friendly, and you feel welcome. The restaurant is facing a marina, and has a nice outdoor section for those warm summer days.Expect a crowd in the boating season.

I don't recommend visiting this restaurant, it's heaps of other really great restaurants on the harbor in Tønsberg. Places like Havariet, Steak, Kverneriet and Paparazzi.My husband and I decided to try Becks as it was the only place on the harbor that wasn't overcrowded that day. After checking out the menu we had to walk inside to get the waiter to take our order. The mussels tasted good, but the fries were cold and it wasn't served with soup and aioli as described in the menu. While eating, nobody checked up on us and after we finished no one came to take our plates, so we had to walk inside to pay the bill.When we got inside we could hear the chef's arguing with the waiters and they were swearing at each other. I get that it can get stressful at times, but it was barely any people in the restaurant at the time and when the staff isn't happy at work - it affects the customers more thank you think.

Coffeeshop and lunch place with tasty food and fresh coffee. They also have a large selection of cakes. Unpretentious place with a cozy and warm atmosphere.

This cafe is a lively place on Saturdays, packed with people. Despite that, the place has a relaxed ambience. The food is good for norwegian cafe-standards, and the prices are average. But they need "the little extra" to lift them from an average-rating. Their pre-fabricated pizza-buns is one example. Every place serving pizza should make it from scratch. The so-called famous chili-burger is also OK, but not more (and where is the chili?), and for some reason they serve it in a grand, deep pasta-plate, which makes it impossible to eat with knife and fork. From before, the burger is uneatable with hands. When we are with friends or family visiting a cafe, we want delicate food that is easy to eat without looking rediculous. You have to pick up your drinks yourself at the desk (why?), and the food is served at the table. But the ones who serve do not always know who shall have the food, so they walk around the restaurant saying loudly "who shall have this pizza? And this Chicken-salad?". A little disturbing and definitely unnecessary. The location is close to perfect, and it could have been even better, if the crossroad outside the large windows were turned into a little pedestrians plaza. In this Summer-city, this plaza could have been giving this corner of the town status as "little Italy". Just remove the cars, put up a fountain and a statue of someone important, and then lay down some cobblestones and you're there. I hereby urge the cafes and restaurants in the block to convince the politicians in the town. If Babels Cafe move out in the street in the little plaza during Summer, almost no-one can beat them. Especially if they sharpen their menu, and get some specialities they can be really proud of.

My husband and I enjoyed a good fishmeal this evening at Esmeraldas. From the winelist it looked like the price of a glass of whitewine was about NOK 100. I just asked for a glass and they served me half a glass of chablis, no one mentioned the price: NOK 139,- or 16 US$... The food was tasty there, but the owner is much too greedy.Hi Kristin,Iâm glad to hear about your nice meal, but not so about your experience with the wine. Our waiters are not to serve a more expencive wine than our house wine if just asked for a glas of wine. Iâll make shure they get the message again.

This restaurant have excellent food. It is right on the docks and a great place to relax. On this visit i ordered a burger, it was great. I added fries to my order the next time the waitress passed our table, but I never got them. That is not good enough, I expected the fries to arrive after the burger, but never saw them. Hard to get the waitress attention so I just gave up.

We went for lunch in a beautiful sunny day with the temperature-6.The interior is typical of the norwegian tradition. Wood skillfully worked.We took a fish soup, mussels and a peculiar sandwich with meat and vegetables inside.Nothing really special but good enough to have the pleasure of eating it. One beer one mineral water total: 613 krowns.Service in the normal average.Could go back.
