We were a group of four who went there for the first time first of September. I didn't know anything about them more than they served natural wines, which isn't really my cup of tea.
The concept is based on local, short travelled Scandinavian ingredients. They only serve a set menu, don't know frequency for changing it.
I been having the pleasure to eat and drink on similar restaurants in France and Sweden during the last half a year.
The ambience is simplicity with seaweed as wall decoration. Söl is an Islandic word for a type of seaweed.
We were greeted by a Dane and co-owner who explained the menu and wines with great knowledge.
Our menu had five dishes, only one had meat, fried Cod. The rest is various vegetables, fried cooked or partially raw. We got one glass of wine with each dish, all natural ones. It was only the first wine that didn't really suited my palate.
I've given it 5 stars, but I wish I could shave of a quarter from the last star because of the first glass of wine. The reason I giving it almost full score is because of price/quality. You will not get this quality at any restaurant in Stavanger for this price! We paid 970 NOK/ person which is about what you would pay for the same in Sweden. In Norway, this would cost at least in range 1200-1300 NOK.
Now I hope they can manage it and keep the quality and price level. read more
