Restaurants in Stavanger

For a medium-sized city, Stavanger does well for restaurants, from deluxe seafood places overlooking the harbour to run-of-the-mill pizza places jammed into narrow side streets. Most of the good places are within easy walking distance of the main harbour.

The Stavanger restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over NOK600)
Moderate (NOK300 to NOK600)
Cheap (up to NOK300)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including a half bottle of house wine (where available) or equivalent, tax and service. Tipping is not essential, but most customers round their bill up.

Godt Brød

Price: Cheap

Eating out in Norway is almost always expensive, but this straightforward modern café does break the trend with bargain-basement snacks and sandwiches.

Address: Sølvberggata 2, 4006 Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway

Café Sting

Price: Cheap

Fashionable café-bar serving inexpensive Norwegian food in large portions – try the meatballs or the fish balls.

Restaurant Sjøhuset Skagen

Price: Expensive

Popular, expense-account restaurant occupying an imaginatively recycled old harbourside building, complete with all sorts of nautical trinkets. The seafood is the best thing on the menu.

Restaurant N B Sørensen's Dampskipbsexpedition

Price: Expensive

This smart and stylish restaurant occupies delightful premises on the first floor of one of the city’s older wooden buildings, its décor dotted with nautical knick-knacks.

The award-winning wine selection is the best in town, the service attentive and knowledgeable.
