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. Ill let the pictures tell the rest of the story hut the star is definitely well deserved

Too bad it is located in Stavanger, which I am unlikely to visit often.

We were a group of four who went there for the first time first of September. I didn't know…read moreanything 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.

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.

If you call and ask however, you can have a much more intimate experience than the first floor with a chef that did some time at Daniel in NYC. A slew of snacks, bread from Norwegian childhood, beef cheeks, Norwegian bleu cheese on the day's local vegetables, cod and sweetbreads are amongst the items we had. A generous wine pairing, chemex coffee and some delicious sweets to boot. A cool slightly offbeat place for a finer meal in Stavanger

So I was under the impression that this was a fish market. I love visiting fish markets because I…read moreLOVE seafood and I love stalled markets. Visiting a market to me is being on vacation. We were at a fish market in a different Norwegian city during this trip, so I had high hopes. This isn't a straight fish market in my opinion, it's basically a restaurant and a fish counter. It is a permanent structure and alone on this side of the harbor so it's very easy to find. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we were there and we didn't eat at it either. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The seafood counter was pretty much like a supermarket counter. It was much smaller than I expected it to be. The area for the shop was also very tight and unwelcoming. There were limited items and again, half of the stuff was imported and not Norwegian. I thought the service wasn't that good, we were completely ignore. So we ended up just leaving without anything.

As this restaurant is mostly indoors, it's cooler but you still get a good view! *** Travelers Come here if you want to come to Stavanger (a pit stop for the Pulpit Rock).

You can choose if you want steak for the main course, but we chose fish. Norway is generally expensive for food, but this is good to sample their food. IG: @foodisseur
