Top choice in Stavanger


In a clapboard building off Steinkargata, this ramshackle, rough-and-ready eatery is small in size but strong on ambition: the food is modern, creative and bang on trend, with an emphasis on freshness, seasonality and Asian-inspired flavours. There's no set menu; dishes are chalked above the bar, from wild trout to kimchi, braised ribs or Asian slaws. The only drawback? It's pricey.

Dishes can be served as mains or tapas style, accompanied by the waiter's wine recommendations. Prices vary from day to day, but be careful, as costs have a way of racking up quickly.
