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.

Decent Chinese food. We visited Lai by Noodle Noodle on a Saturday night, and it was packed. I…read morethink the restaurant has gone through some changes since the earlier reviews, because I would say this is a $$$ restaurant and not a $ restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and played house music during our visit. I tried the Yuku Sake cocktail to drink, we split the salmon sashimi and the king crab dumplings, and I ordered the vegan mapo tofu as a main. The cocktail was sour and not the most tasty. All of our food came at roughly the same time with sashimi arriving about 5 minutes ahead. The sashimi was tasty with a nice amount of sauce to complement the fish. The dumpling was room temperature and had an okay flavor but was not as tasty as I expected. The tofu was undercooked and the sauce was decent but could have used a bit more flavor. Overall, I had a hit-or-miss experience at Lai by Noodle Noodle and think there is room for improvement.

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.

The glass front of the shop allows for fun people watching while you sit and drink your coffee too.

We walked all the way across Stavanger with the express purpose of eating in this one bakery…read more It was totally totally totally worth it. * * * The baked goods are what make this place stand out, But the coffee is pretty darn fine too. We have been drinking cafe lattes. Intrinsically, these don't vary much from place to place. As long as the coffee is not stale and the milk is fresh, you should be in business. But at Kanelsnurren, the cafe lattes are dramatically better. Better beans? The Edvard Grieg of Norwegian baristas making the espresso? Who knows? But the world perked up with the first sip. * * * But at a bakery you are there for the baked goods. They have both heavy Scandinavian breads and lighter fluffier wonders. I did not try the heavies such as the ryes or the korns. I had a ham sandwich with one of the mixed seed sandwich buns. Inferior versions of this taste okay and sit in your stomach like a shot put afterwards. This version of the bun tasted complex and amazing. The bread was light and ethereal both while being consumed and afterwards. Leaving the restaurant, I could have floated up the hill to the neighborhood church. (I actually did so. The cafe latte provided the additional lift.) * * * But as good as the sandwich was, the star of the show was dessert. I got a chocolate and hazelnut bun with a big dollop of chocolate on top. Surprise, surprise, the pastry was nearly empty inside, like a popover or a Yorkshire pudding. But it was rich and buttery and comforting like a Popover. Yes, the inside of the popover cavity had dollops of chocolate and of hazelnut. It was big enough to be filling, light enough to be ethereal, delicate enough to be guilt-free, and chocolatey-nutty enough to totally delight my inner three year old. Popovers for dessert? Proof that God exists and the Universe is a Wonderful Place. And the extra lightness got me down the other side of the hill with the church after the sandwich and the coffee had done their job. * * * The bread and pastry at Kanelsnurren are insanely good. But with all of that lightness, maybe one of their secret ingredients is helium?

The staff and menu setup were so helpful and made for a smooth ordering process. They have menus in Norwegian and English and both are organized well to be helpful and appealing. The food was very good, but more mixed than the place itself. The Belgian and regular hot chocolates were delicious. We both got them made with soy and it was a great choice. The Belgian I ordered was dark only and it was very rich, with a nice foam top. The hot chocolate was delicious and sweeter, but not too much. The pastry we got was very good flavor, but the center had a bit of a dried film on top and made the pastry harder to eat. Overall, I would go again and would definitely get the hot chocolate any time. It was lovely and tasty.
