Known as "The World's Smallest Cafe," I was first attracted to this tiny wood building that used to…read morebe a bakery by seeing fresh pancake batter cooking through an open window, and smelling welcome wafts of sweetness in the air as my excursion group walked along the Soragada to the Museet i Maelandsgarden, which was just around the corner. Following my self-tour of the museum, I hustled here with Diane to quaff some liquid refreshments and sample some sweet treats before we had to return to the tour bus. These included a no-sugar-added chocolate confection, and of course a Scandinavian pancake. We luckily scored one of the three tables inside. The sole proprietor on the premises, who served as host, server, and cook, was very amiable, and I was happy to bring her some business. For, soon after we sat down, several others--both from our group and unaffiliated tourists--followed the scent and lined up to place food orders. I have now become an enthusiastic fan of Dutch and Scandinavian pancakes, and don't know where to go to satisfy this new craving. I hope I can find some relief locally without having to cross oceans to do so. XXXX-1/2 stars overall for this jewel of a cafe!

Chef Sven Erik Renaa runs three restaurants in this complex, fast casual, a bistro and then the flagship tasting menu spot that is Re-Naa. As many of the New Nordic formats, they start you in the Orangeriet for snacks and aperitif. Then you move inside for the main courses and dessert. You then come full circle for the petit fours, caffeine and after dinner spirits back in the orangeriet. Only the beat local producers are highlighted on the menu. It was great to see some of the great ingredients the locale of Stavanger had to offer and with seafood being simply amazing.

Many unexpected and tasty food pairings. I think this must be among the top five restaurants I ever visited. And not inhumanly expensive (but not exactly cheap either). Too bad it is located in Stavanger, which I am unlikely to visit often.
