This was my second visit and on the list of places that I simply had to return to because the first…read morevisit was delightful. Visited on a warm (and not raining, a miracle!) afternoon. We decided to sit inside. I love the decor. Outside is nice too as it's right across from the water. I actually knew what I wanted - the fish soup. No need to even look at the menu. The bread with our meal was delicious. My dining partner's fish dish perfect. The real star is the soup. The broth is heavenly. I could drink just the broth and be happy but it's also packed with fish, mussels and shrimp. It's like a never ending bowl of the most amazing fish and broth. So fresh. I left feeling so good after eating it. I'll go back next time for it. Popular place and a popular dish as I saw many bowls leaving the kitchen.

A burnt orange stunner of a building. It looks so Nordic and a place to be seen at. Its on the…read morewaterfront with 2 floors of indoor seating and an outdoor seating area. Had the seafood chowder that was liquidy milky (not pudding type) and satisfying. It had shrimp, crab, clam and a bunch of herbs. The super soft bread and garlic ranch served with it matched. Lot of people were ordering the mussels and that would've been our next order but we had to meet friends elsewhere. Outside, it was festive and a little loud from the neighboring restaurant/club next door. I enjoyed it, but if you want more peace, go to the 2nd floor. Beautiful views. The large tourist ships stop right at front.

Skagen is the vegan friendly option for people wanting to eat on the waterfront in Stavanger…read more They have real food for non-vegans too. The real food people eat better than the vegans here. * * * The vegan options are heavy on soy meat substitutes. Pescatarian wife looked at all that soy substitute and went for fish with no sauce. Her fish with no sauce was pretty dull - and so was her vegan rhubarb dessert. She picked at her meal. * * * I was ready for a hardy Nordic feast. They offer "small" dishes and "large" dishes, but the "small" dishes are full size platters that will make you waddle home. I had the platter of gravad lax with rye bread, potato salad and mustard sauce on the side. Magnificent salmon. fine mustard sauce, rye bread to kill for and potatoes to provide contrast. Was the salmon better with or without the mustard sauce? I debated this question for hours. To assist me in my great ponderings was a magnificent glass of first rate aquavit. It was mild rather than forceful, and I like my spirits forceful. But things were eminently pleasant nonetheless. * * * We were in Stavanger the week after Summer Solstice. They aren't kidding when they talk about the land of the midnight sun. The sun never sets on the Stavanger waterfront. The golden light goes on for hours and hours and hours. The sun sets very slowly. With enough beer or aquavit in your system, you set very slowly. You watch the people walk up and down the docks. You comment on the state of humanity. You pick at the various juicy morsels still left on your plate. The sun hangs there golden and glorious. A fine way to spend an evening Assuming you are not trying to forget your soy sausage.

This is a new restaurant for Hidra this year. Sitting in Kongshamn this establishment has view…read moreover Kirkehamn. Being on the water Konghshamn has dock space which you can bring you boat up to. The restaurant has a nice small menu focused on local ingredients including forged and found goods. Seafood dishes have more new Norwegian spin to them. For locals who eat fish day and day out this might not be the place for them. They also have a beer list focused on micro breweries from Norway. This trend has expanded in Norway dramatically over the last few years. Make sure you request a table by the window. Some of the tables can be rather dark.

I was fortunate to get a table for the dropping in line and didn't wait more than 15 minutes. This establishment is a fish market as well as a restaurant. Moderate prices for this region And super fresh. I had the links fish fillet with a Bernaise sauce and king crab. Ironically, the starter cost more than the entrée. I'm giving it the highest review because of the freshness and the laid back dining experience. My bill came out to 100 US without drinks. Most people are happy with an entrée with a catch of The day, $45 US.
