A very nice little restaurant âhiddenâ in the back alley. Exclusive = one small room for ~20 people, small tasty dishes and matching wines. Casual = relaxed atmosphere, informal waiters and âchefsâ coming to the tables, sitting down talking about the food. Starter with local crabs, two fish dishes, a delicious meat dish and desert as âGrand Finalâ. Very nice! Go there!

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.

We dined at this restaurant on our first night in Stavanger. Even though it was late by Stavanger standards, the waiter seated us. They have a wonderful outdoor dining area with heaters, blankets and 'fur' throws and comforatable cushioned settees. My huband had the Scampi Linguine and it was delicious, as was my salad and the foccacia was excellent. It is cosy and romantic and away from the noisy restaurants on the Calle by the cruise ships Our waitress was efficient and friendly. The inside looked fun, warm and inviting. We would definitely go again!

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 .

Upon our visit to Stavanger we noticed this restaurant and decided to give it a try and they come out as one of my favorite places. They are very hard working and polite people with excellent customer service, they have nailed all the details needed for an authentic Turkish restaurant. They bake their own bread right infront of you, food is delicious and tasteful with all right spices and flavors and I was impressed with their dessert, one of the best. I wish I had room for more dessert. They are the best

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.
